The playoffs are alive in Los Angeles as we continue our NFL odds series and make a Vikings-Rams prediction and pick.

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Los Angeles Rams 30-25 in Sunday’s Week 18 regular-season finale. Unfortunately, the Rams had already clinched the NFC West division. Head coach Sean McVay fielded a team largely consisting of backups as the Seahawks eyed their first 10-win season since 2020.

Six NFL teams will soon fight to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LIX but only three will make it to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. Here’s how the underdogs move on.

After a low-scoring win over the Cardinals, the Rams could win the NFC West based on how the remainder of Week 17 goes.

The Los Angeles Rams have won the NFC West crown, and the final standings have remained largely unchanged from Week 17 to Week 18. That, of course, means the San Francisco 49ers are in last place. They will have the 11th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and a more extended offseason than they’ve had the last couple of years.
