Updated NFC Championship Odds this Season

The NFC Championship takes place this month on January 26.

Right now, the top teams reside in the loaded NFC North.

The Lions are the +170 chalk followed by NFC East Philadelphia but both the Vikings and Packers have attracted enough action to land third and fourth on the list.

The Rams are currently at +1200 followed by the wild card bound Washington Commanders at +1900.

Which teams should be on your radar to head to the Super Bowl? Check out NFC Championship NFL odds, analysis, and picks.

Writer’s Key Picks on Winning the 2025 NFC Championship

Winner: LA Rams +1200

The Rams were under the radar for most of this season.

That’s what happens when you start 1-4 straight up.

But since the horrendous start, LAR has picked it up big time, winning 9-of-11.

The only 2 losses during the last 11 games came versus the Eagles when the Rams’ D wasn’t playing well and versus the Miami Dolphins in a close 23-15 contest.

Speaking of the Rams’ defense, in the past month it’s become one of the better Ds in the NFC.

Since a 44-42 victory over Buffalo, the Rams have held the Niners to 6 in a road win, the Jets to 9 in a road victory and the Cardinals to 9 in a 13-9 win in NFL Week 17 that sealed the NFC West.

At the sportsbook odds , or even if the Rams are at +1000 now, LAR is the team to back.

First NFC Pick: Rams +1200

Second: Philadelphia Eagles +360

Philadelphia has something that many of the other teams in the NFC don’t, which is as good of a defense as you’re going to find in the conference and maybe in the NFL.

Although Jalen Hurts, who should be back on the field for the playoffs after suffering a concussion, AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, and MVP contender Saquon Barkley have dominated opponents this season, it’s the D that has stepped it up.

Vic Fangio to shore up a Philly defense that was in shambles last season could go down as one of the shrewdest hires in NFL history.

Fangio’s defense has held the Commanders to 18 in the first game, the Rams to 20, the Ravens to 19, and the Steelers to 13.

The Rams could upset the Eagles if a rematch happens.

But if you throw money down on Philadelphia, and if Hurts is one hundred percent, the Eagles sure look tough to beat.

Second NFC Pick: Eagles +360

Best Underdog Play: Tampa Bay Buccaneers +2200

Because the Commanders managed a win over the Atlanta Falcons, all the Buccaneers must do is beat the lowly Saints on Sunday to clinch the NFC South.

If Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans, and the suddenly stingy Tampa D make it to the playoffs, watch out.

Tampa is for real.

The Bucs have won 5-of-6.

Sure, the loss was to Cooper Rush and the Cowboys in Big D.

Yes, 2 of the 6 wins came against the Panthers and the other came versus the Raiders but look what Tampa did to the playoff bound Chargers?

TB dominated Justin Herbert and his mates 40-17 on the road.

The Tampa offense can hang with any in the NFL and the D has held 4 opponents in the last 6 games to less than 20 points.

Underdog NFC Pick: Buccaneers +2200

What’s wrong with…

Detroit Lions
Defense is an issue.
When you give up 34 points to an injured Brock Purdy without Brandon Ayuik and Christian McCaffrey, it’s a bad sign.

Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings’ run defense is fantastic.
But the pass defense needs some work.
Brian Flores is an awesome defensive coordinator. He doesn’t have the secondary to play the D he really wants to play.
Baker, Staff, Goff, Darnold, and Hurts should put Minnesota into a big hole.

Green Bay Packers
Jordan Love is a good quarterback but he doesn’t have the wide receiver weapons that Darnold, Mayfield, Stafford, Goff and Hurts have.
Also, the D is okay but not great.

Washington Commanders
Daniels will do well in the playoffs.
Overall, though, the D struggles against both the run and the pass.
Michael Penix Jr. missed a lot of open throws in the Sunday Night Football win in NFL Week 17.

Atlanta Falcons
Penix Jr. is the main issue for the Falcons.
He doesn’t have enough experience yet to lead the ATL in the playoffs.
Also, the D is a disaster in the secondary.

Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks may not make the playoffs.
Even if Seattle does, the team isn’t good enough to beat the NFC North squads, the Buccaneers, the Eagles, or the Rams.
