The NFL Conference Championship round features intriguing matchups as the Seattle Seahawks face off against the Los Angeles Rams and the Denver Broncos take on the New England Patriots.
In the first game, the Seahawks are favored by 2.5 points against the Rams. The Rams seem to be struggling, having narrowly defeated the 8-9 Carolina Panthers in their last game, followed by a hard-fought overtime win against the Chicago Bears, thanks largely to three interceptions thrown by Caleb Williams. Conversely, the Seahawks come into this matchup with momentum after dominating the San Francisco 49ers. They have remained in Seattle for the past three weeks, while the Rams have had to travel extensively to reach this stage. This season, both teams have had close encounters, with each winning at home. However, the current circumstances heavily favor Seattle.
In the second matchup, the Broncos are listed as 5.5-point underdogs against the Patriots. This line has shifted significantly, as the Broncos were initially slight favorites by 1.5 points before the injury to Bo Nix. Questions arise regarding the impact of Nix”s replacement, Jarrett Stidham, on the team”s performance. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that the Broncos” success this season can be attributed to their formidable defense and a strong home-field advantage. Expect Stidham to perform adequately enough to keep the game competitive, as the Broncos have consistently shown resilience throughout the season.
Last week, the predictions resulted in a split, with a record of 1-1. For the 2025 season, the overall record stands at 16-22.
