NFL divisional round picks - Betting props, picks and parlays for the NFL playoffs - ESPN

Welcome to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs! We have four games this weekend, including three regular-season rematches.

It's important not to overanalyze results of those regular-season games — even the recent ones — as game plans get a lot more particular in the postseason.

Here are my favorite bets for this weekend's NFL action and a same-game parlay to consider.

The Rams delivered a strong defensive outing to get past the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round, and Matthew Stafford looked like vintage playoff Stafford. But I'm not sold on the Rams offense, which produced only 20 of the Rams' 27 points against Minnesota. In the Rams' three previous games where their starters saw regular action, they scored 13, 19 and 12 points, respectively. A huge 44-point outing against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14 is doing a lot to elevate the Rams' offense in the national eye.

Now Los Angeles must face a Philadelphia Eagles defense that has been among the best in football for much of the season, with a defensive coordinator in Vic Fangio who was excellent against the Rams in 2018 when he was the DC for the Chicago Bears and again in Week 12 this season in a 37-20 Eagles win. There is also inclement weather expected in Philadelphia on Sunday, with a 75% chance of some wintry mix forecasted and temperatures around freezing. That weather should affect the Rams, a warm-weather team that plays its home games in a covered stadium and likes to throw the ball, much more than the Eagles, who rely on their run game to move down the field.

Philadelphia's offensive success against the Rams defense is another factor
