NFC championship betting: Odds, picks, DFS plays for Rams-Seahawks - ESPN

In Sunday's late kickoff, the Los Angeles Rams travel to Seattle for their third tilt of the season with the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.

Matt Bowen breaks down the matchup, looking at both sides of the ball, and offers his take, and Liz Loza, Pamela Maldonado, Eric Moody, Ben Solak and Seth Walder share their best bets, analysis and DFS plays to help you get in on the action.
