NFC Championship Free Pick - Los Angeles Rams at New Orleans Saints

The Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints were the top two teams in the NFC all season long and this Sunday they will clash for the second time this year in the NFC Championship. Kickoff from Mercedes-Benz Superdome on FOX is set for 3:05 p.m. and the Saints are set as 3.5-point home favorites at Elite-rated Vietbet, with a total line of 57 points.

Current Odds:
Los Angeles Rams 57
New Orleans Saints -3.5 Los Angeles Rams NFL prediction

The Rams were able to grind past Dallas 30-22 as seven-point home favorites in Saturday night’s Divisional Round matchup. They improved to 14-3 straight-up with an 8-7-2 record against the spread. Los Angeles has been able to cover in its last three games and the total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in three of its last four games.

Los Angeles got past the Cowboys the old fashioned way on Saturday night; running the ball right down their throats. Todd Gurley was the team’s leading rusher in the regular season with 1,251 yards and he picked up 115 more on 16 carries. The big story was CJ Anderson leading the team in that win with 123 yards rushing on 23 attempts.

New Orleans Saints NFL predictionNew Orleans earned the top seed in the NFC with its 45-35 victory over the Rams on Nov. 4 as a slight two-point home underdog. The Saints earned a spot in the conference title game with Sunday’s 20-14 win against Philadelphia after trailing in that contest 14-0. They could not cover VietBet’s closing 8.5-point spread in that game to fall to 1-5 ATS in their last six outings.

The combination of Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram rushed for 137 yards on 31 rushing attempts against the Eagles, but most of the credit for the win on Sunday goes to Drew Brees throwing the ball to Michael Thomas. These two connected 12 times for 171 yards and one score to help erase that early deficit. New Orleans also stepped up its play on defense after giving up those two early scores.

The first meeting between the Rams and Saints this season turned into a wild shootout, but I see the ground game dominating play this time around. The Saints get the SU win, but I will take the Rams and the 3.5 points to cover.
