Rams vs. 49ers Same Game Parlay Picks
The stage is set for the NFC Championship game, with the Los Angeles Rams playing host to their neighboring NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers. We should be in for a great battle between two squads with fantastic defenses and plenty of star power on offense. Jimmy Garoppolo and the Niners will be looking to get back to the promised land for the first time since 2020, when they blew a fourth-quarter lead against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. LA has a new offensive leader, Matthew Stafford, trying to guide the Rams back to NFC glory for the first time since 2019, when Jared Goff and Co. only managed three points against the Pats.
The entertainment level of this NFC title game should be massive—and we have a great Same Game Parlay that we put together on PointsBet to make this contest even more fun.

Pick Your Own Line: Rams -2.5 (-150)
I have the Rams winning this game—heck, I’ve had LA picked to make the Super Bowl since before this season started! But I know that weird things can happen in big primetime games, and postseason battles always seem to throw a few curveballs. Thus, I’m buying one point so I can feel much more confident about the favorites at home. LA has the best defense in football, and Von Miller has been a fantastic addition to the defensive line opposite defensive GOAT Aaron Donald. And with Jalen Ramsey tasked with limiting San Fran wideout “(player-popup #deebo-samuel)Deebo Samuel”:/players/deebo-samuel-982845’s opportunities, I feel confident that Sean McVay’s club will prevail. Matthew Stafford has been exactly what this franchise needed to get over the hump, and he has turned Cooper Kupp into a cheat code on the field. In the playoffs, picking the favorite by a field goal is essentially like picking them to win straight up but with better odds. Go with LA -2.5, and rejoice if Matt Gay kicks another game-winning field goal. Or, sit comfortably if and when the Rams win by much more than three.
Anytime Touchdown Scorer: Cooper Kupp (-145)
Kupp has turned into the best receiver in the NFL since the arrival of longtime Lion Matthew Stafford. The two enjoy breakfast together most days, they show up to practices together early and often, and they have a unique connection on the field. As this mind meld goes, so too does the fate of the Rams. Ever since LA’s WR2 Robert Woods got hurt midway through the season, Kupp seemed destined to mount a historic season. And the midseason addition of veteran “(player-popup #odell-beckham)Odell Beckham Jr, as well as the slight emergence of second-year wideout Van Jefferson, probably only helped Kupp’s ability to gash opponents. Kupp is tough to double, as he’s such a quick, talented route-runner, and LA has other weapons on the field. He’s also difficult to slow down once he finds space. And his amazing hands make him one of the best red-zone threats in football. I know, I sound like I’m gushing here, but hey, the guy’s good! Kupp led the NFL in catches (145), receiving yards (1,947), and TD grabs this season (16). He’s scored in four straight games, and seven of LA’s last eight. He’s a great bet to find paydirt once again this weekend against a mediocre red-zone defense.
Total Touchdowns: UNDER 6.5 (-400)
I like what I’ve seen from both these squads’ front-sevens lately, and I doubt this game will become a 50-point barnburner with seven-plus touchdowns. These teams know each other, they are very well-coached, and they both have what it takes to step up to the plate defensively in big games. The Niners have allowed 27 points all postseason, despite matching up with the Cowboys in Round 1 and then reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers and the No. 1 seed Packers in Round 2. The Rams, meanwhile, held Kyler Murray and the Cardinals to 11 points in Round 1 and then held Tom Brady to one passing TD last weekend. I think this game should go a lot like the last time these squads met on January 9, when they combined for six TDs and the Niners eked out a three-point overtime victory. Only difference is, I have the Rams winning this one. I expect four or five touchdowns—but we win as long as that number doesn’t hit seven.
Quarterback Passing Yards: Matthew Stafford OVER 280.5 (+100)
Like I said earlier, Stafford has been a revelation in Los Angeles. The veteran has surpassed 280 yards through the air 12 times in his debut season with the Rams, and he’s coming off a 366-yard, two-touchdown win over a pretty good Buccaneers defense. Considering Stafford has a per-game average of 287.4 passing yards, and this is the biggest game of his 13-year career, I like his chances of hitting 281 yards. That mark has only been hit against the Niners seven times this season, but that’s why we’re getting +100 on this leg. You have to risk it a little to get the biscuit. And Stafford’s a great QB to gamble on. This feels like the veteran’s year—he won’t let you down if you back him on the big stage.
