NFL AFC, NFC Title Report: Books, Public Agree Rams-Seahawks 'is the Super Bowl'

NFL conference championship odds are front and center on the American sports betting landscape. The Super Bowl is still more than two weeks out, on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium.

But there’s a semi-prevailing attitude, mainly on social media, that the Big Game is actually Sunday night in Seattle.

Some oddsmakers share that opinion.

"That’s our position, as well. This is the Super Bowl. The Rams and the Seahawks are the top two teams in our power rankings," Caesars Sports head of football trading Joey Feazel said. "We don’t see the AFC as being at the same level."

Oddsmakers and sharp bettors serve up their insights on both matchups, as we delve into NFL conference championship betting nuggets.

Rams-Seahawks is the second game on Championship Sunday, at 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX. But it’s No. 1 in betting intrigue.

That’s due in part to power rankings, as Feazel noted. It’s also due to past performance. Los Angeles and Seattle played two close games this season, most recently a Week 16 screamer that the Seahawks won 38-37 as 1.5-point home favorites.

In Week 11, the Rams were 3-point home favorites and edged the Seahawks 21-19. So the home team won both games, but the road team covered the spread.

"Those were two of our most-bet games of the season," Feazel said.

Top-seeded Seattle is 15-3 straight up (SU) — riding an eight-game win streak — and a money-making 13-5 against the spread (ATS). In the NFL Divisional Round, the Seahawks were 7-point home favorites and flattened the 49ers 41-6.

No. 5 Los Angeles is 14-5 SU/11-8 ATS, with a pair of close road playoff wins: 34-31 as a 10.5-point favorite vs. the Panthers, and a 20-17 overtime thriller as a 3.5-point favorite vs. the Bears.
