Packers open as 7-point favorites over Rams in NFC playoffs

The top-seeded Green Bay Packers (13-3) will welcome the Los Angeles Rams (10-6) to Lambeau Field on Saturday for the NFC Divisional Round.

Matt LaFleur’s team will be the favorite to advance to the conference title game.

According to BetMGM, the Packers opened as 7-point favorites over the Rams, who beat the Seattle Seahawks to advance to the divisional round.

The Packers, who had a first-round bye, have been favored in six straight games. They won all six games. The Packers were also 7-1 in games at Lambeau Field during the 2020 season.

The Rams won four games as an underdog this season, including Saturday’s win over the Seahawks, although they haven’t won as an underdog of seven or more points.

Last season, the Packers beat the Seahawks as a home favorite in the divisional round to advance to the conference title game.

The winner of Saturday’s meeting between the Packers and Rams will face the winner of Sunday’s game between the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship Game. The Saints are a 3.5-point favorite.
