NFC Betting Odds: Do Oddsmakers Predict Saints Or Rams To Win Conference?

With three games left in the season for most teams in the NFL, oddsmakers are more confident than ever in which teams they think will represent the AFC and NFC in the Super Bowl. Las Vegas has declared the Kansas City Chiefs (11-3) the favorite in the AFC for several weeks, and in the NFC, another team with a high-powered offense and a suffocating home crowd is the favorite, per Vegas Insider.

Oddsmakers give the New Orleans Saints (11-2) the highest odds of winning the NFC Championship Game and going to Atlanta, with 1/1 odds. An MVP-caliber season from quarterback Drew Brees and an improved defense have powered the Saints to the top seed in the NFC with three weeks left to go.

The Los Angeles Rams (11-2) have been the NFC favorite at points this season, but a bad loss in primetime to the Chicago Bears (9-4) last week hurt their chances. Quarterback Jared Goff has had two uninspiring performances in a row, which has taken attention away from an improving defense.

The final betting odds to win the NFC will likely come down to who gets homefield advantage in the playoffs. The Saints own a head-to-head tie-breaker with the Rams if that is what it comes down to in the end. New Orleans has not lost a single home playoff game since Sean Payton and Drew Brees came to town in 2006.
