Rams at Eagles NFL Divisional Round Betting Lines

Los Angeles Rams NFL Divisional Round Betting Lines

My theory that the Los Angeles Rams intentionally dropped their Week 18 contest against Seattle to secure the No. 4 seed proved correct, as Sean McVay’s squad steamrolled the Minnesota Vikings 27-9 in wild-card betting action. Despite closing as 2-point neutral-site underdogs, the Rams delivered a dominant performance, cashing outright and covering the NFL spread. The outcome wasn’t favorable for the online sportsbook, with a majority of the betting action backing LA. More notably, the Rams' defense let it be known just how formidable it can be. Jared Verse helped lead a historic effort that included nine sacks, two takeaways, and a stifling performance against Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Minnesota’s explosive offense managed only one red-zone trip all game! Matthew Stafford turned in his sharpest performance in weeks, posting a 117.7 passer rating. While he was steady under center, more production will be needed from wideouts Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp in a daunting divisional-round rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles. LA will need to solve the issues that plagued its defense in Week 12, when Saquon Barkley ran wild in a 37-20 Eagles victory at SoFi. Early betting reports show skepticism that the Rams' improved defense will fare much better this time in the City of Brotherly Love.

With their first playoff victory since claiming the Super Bowl in 2021, the Rams saw their Super Bowl LIX odds shorten from 45-1 to 22-1, while their chances of winning the NFC title improved from 17-1 to +750. Few expected Los Angeles to be in this position heading into Monday night’s showdown. The team started the season with an 8.5-game win total, -115 odds to make the playoffs, and projections for a second-place NFC West finish. Initially listed at 30-1 to win the Super Bowl and 12-1 for the NFC crown, Sean McVay’s Rams have once again outperformed anticipated expectations.

On Sunday, January 19, 2025, the Los Angeles Rams will take on the Philadelphia Eagles from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA. Kickoff time is set for 3 p.m. ET with television coverage on NBC. The NFL Division Round betting lines surfaced with the Rams installed 5-point underdogs and the total set at 45.5. The crypto sportsbook has already gone as high as +6.5 and back to +6 due to the Rams only being supported with 35 percent of the bets and 40 percent of the money. McVay’s troops got out to a rough start away from SoFi dropping and failing to cover three straight against the Lions, Cardinals, and Bears, but closed the season strong posting 5-0 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) tallies against the Seahawks, Patriots, Saints, 49ers, and Jets. the under paid out in five of those tilts with fewer than 40 combined points scored on average. Notice however that not one of those wins came against a playoff entrant, but LA clocks in 3-2 SU and 4-1 ATS when taking back points on the road in the playoffs under McVay’s watch. Though three of those matchups played to high scorers, it’s the under total bettors have gravitated towards early on with the number to beat down to 43 due to 60+ percent of the booked handle expecting points to be tougher to come by than in the first go-round.

The Los Angeles Rams dominated the Minnesota Vikings securing a 27-9 outright NFL odds victory in an NFC wild-card game, powered by a record-tying defensive effort and efficient offensive execution. The Rams sacked Minnesota quarterback Sam Darnold nine times, matching an NFL playoff record. Rookie linebacker Jared Verse delivered the game’s pivotal moment, returning a fumble 57 yards for a touchdown that extended LA’s lead to 17-3 in the second quarter.

The Rams have a rich history that began in Cleveland in 1937. They moved to Los Angeles for the first time in 1946, winning one NFL championship and playing in three other championship games between 1949 and 1955.

Under head coach George Allen, the Rams made the playoffs in 1967 and 1969, though they were eliminated in the divisional round both times. Despite consistent contention, Allen was eventually fired.
