It wasn’t the least bit surprising that the Los Angeles Rams opened as favorites over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, even despite their six-game losing streak to their division rivals. They’re at home and looked great in each of the first two playoff games, despite nearly blowing a 24-point lead against the Buccaneers on Sunday. - The line opened with the Rams being favored by 3.5 points, and as of Friday morning, the spread remains unchanged: it’s still Rams -3.5 (-105), per Tipico Sportsbook. The money line for the Rams remains -190, which means a $190 bet returns a profit of $100 if the Rams win. - The over/under dropped one point from 46.5 to 45.5, nearly 10 points lower than the Chiefs-Bengals line of 54.5 points. - In games where the Rams were favored by at least 3.5 points this season, they went 10-4. Their four losses were to the 49ers (twice), Cardinals and Titans. - As underdogs this season, the 49ers were 4-1, beating the Packers, Cowboys and Rams twice. They covered the spread in four of those five games, too, with the only exception being their 17-10 loss to Arizona in Week 5. - - List - - Rams vs. 49ers: 6 matchups that will decide NFC Championship Game - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Rams Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Rams Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
