NFC Championship Look-Ahead Lines: Seahawks Favored Over Both Rams, Bears by Early Odds
Last Updated: January 18, 2026 7:08 PM EST • 2 minute read X Social Google News Link
It doesn't matter who the Seattle Seahawks face in the NFC Championship next Sunday - they'll be favored against either the Los Angeles Rams or Chicago Bears.
That's according to the early NFC Championship look-ahead lines for next week's conference title clash at Lumen Field in Seattle, where the Super Bowl odds favorites will host the winner of today's Rams vs. Bears clash in Chicago. We already know the matchup on the other side, and we broke down the opening AFC Championship odds.

Where we don't have a specific market for look-ahead lines on the point spread, moneyline, or O/U total, we can still bet the NFC championship odds even after the Rams and Bears kicked off moments ago.
The Seahawks' best odds are -145 via FanDuel, which imply a 59.18% chance that Seattle will win next week's matchup outright and advance to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2015. I wouldn't expect that number to change dramatically if the Rams win today, as those two rivals have faced off multiple times this season, so it could be worth betting on the 'Hawks now in case Chicago does pull off the upset tonight.
NFC Championship look-ahead lines
Here's a look at the NFC Championship look-ahead lines from earlier this week:
| Matchup | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rams vs. Seahawks | Seahawks -1.5 | Seahawks -112 | O/U 48.5 |
| Bears vs. Seahawks | Seahawks -5.5 | Seahawks -255 | O/U 46.5 |

There's a reason I picked the Seahawks in my NFL playoff bracket predictions entering the divisional round - they're the best team in the NFL with more ways to win than any other team in the league.
Mike Macdonald's group is fueled by its historically stout defense that held the San Francisco 49ers to a combined nine points across Week 18 and the divisional round. The Seahawks' offense (and special teams) pitched in 41 points on Saturday, too, to send a statement to the rest of the league ahead of Championship Sunday.
We've seen the Rams play Seattle as tough as anyone this season, so if Los Angeles holds on against Chicago, next week's NFC title could be a thriller. But my money is still on the Seahawks to finish the job behind the most complete team in football.
