DeVonta Smith 60+ Receiving Yards (+105)

Smith has eclipsed 60 yards eight times this season, including two 100-yard games in his last five.

The Rams have improved exponentially as a defensive unit as the season advanced and in the Wild Card round, held one the league's best in Justin Jefferson to just five catches and 58 yards.

With so many weapons to account for, though, Smith should get his receptions and yardage to pay this one off.

Even with the potential snowy conditions by game time, Philadelphia will have to air it out eventually. Smith should benefit as he has been quarterback Jalen Hurts' preferred option compared to AJ Brown over the last two weeks.


Kobie Turner 2+ Sacks (+900)

Turner has tallied five sacks in his last four games, wrecking offensive lines and proving to be a difference-maker for a suddenly smothering Rams defense.

While Philadelphia has a fantastic offensive line, the uncertainty of the weather conditions and a ferocious Rams pass rush means Turner will have the opportunity to add to his sack totals.

While two sacks may be a lot to ask against that stout Philly front, if Turner can continue his wrecking ball ways, there is a significant reward for anyone willing to take that bet.

Rams at Eagles Prediction

The Philadelphia Eagles had one of the best rushing attacks in the history of the NFL this year behind the explosive Saquon Barkley, who eclipsed 2,000 yards and had a real shot at breaking Erick Dickerson's famed rushing record.

Against a Rams defense ranked 22nd in the regular season, and a unit against whom Barkley had 255 yards and two touchdowns, common sense suggests the Eagles will lean on their Pro Bowler and the run game to offset the snow and rush their way to victory.

Playoff football is different, though.

Rarely can what one team accomplished against another earlier in the season be expected to repeat itself. The Rams are hot, the defense absolutely decimated an excellent Minnesota Viking team with nine sacks.

Add to that the fact that both Matthew Stafford and head coach Sean McVay are two of the best in the postseason and you have a reason to believe the Rams can pull off the upset.

Sloppy conditions will offset both offenses' explosivity and as great as Barkley is, Kyren Williams has been a touchdown machine for the Rams. It will ultimately come down to those two players and just how much the weather conditions affect the defense's ability to stick with their assignments and whether those running backs can takeover the game.

If so, the difference could be one or two throws here or there from the Super Bowl quarterbacks.

Jalen Hurts has not been as sharp as he was earlier in his career but he is a winner, with a knack for making big plays in key moments and any talking head or television analyst who thinks he cannot throw the Eagles to the NFC Championship are sadly mistaken. Especially with Brown and Smith on the perimeter and tight end Dallas Goedert asserting his physicality.

Stafford is a different beast in the playoffs.

The veteran, future Hall of Famer is 5-1 with the Rams in the playoffs, with 13 touchdowns and just three interceptions. If he can find Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, and avoid a costly turnover, he has the tools (and intestinal fortitude) to propel the Rams to their second NFC title game in four years.


Prediction: Rams, 20-17

There is something to be said for momentum and the Rams have it. The McVay-led squad narrowly knocks off Philly as the NFC's top two seeds watch the conference title game from home.

Ravens at Bills Predictions

The Buffalo Bills subtracted wide receiver Stefon Diggs this offseason and somehow, appear better than ever as Josh Allen and crew prepare to host the Baltimore Ravens Sunday night in frigid conditions.

Allen has been extraordinary, scoring 40 total touchdowns while turning the ball over just six times. He is an MVP candidate and among the best in the league at his position.

The only problem is the team coming to Buffalo is led by one of the few who fans argue can beat out Allen for the individual award, Baltimore's Lamar Jackson.

The reigning and defending MVP threw 41 touchdowns, rushed for four more, and turned the ball over just eight times.

A legitimate marquee match-up between two quarterbacks at the top of their game, with teams that stand the greatest chance of dethroning the Kansas City Chiefs and preventing the first three-peat in NFL history, it has the makings of an epic match-up.

Ironically enough, the difference maker is likely Derrick Henry, the league's second-most prolific rusher in 2024.

If Henry can plow through the Bills defense, which has had its difficulties against high-powered offenses, the Ravens will control the clock and win the game.

Still, this feels like Allen's year to silence doubters and return Buffalo to the AFC Championship game for the first time since 2020.


Prediction: Buffalo outlasts Baltimore, 31-28

As is the case with most of these high-powered offensive-minded games, this one comes down to one kicker making the most important field goal of his career. In a season where Justin Tucker has had his difficulties, Tyler Bass kicks the Bills to the title game.
