If you invested that the No 4 seed would be playing the No. 6 in the NFC Championship, your betting bankroll should be up substantially.
The NFC title game, featuring Matthew Stafford and the NFC West Champion Rams against NFC West rival 49ers, was not whom many sports bettors or oddsmakers believed would be the final two teams left in the conference.
Prior to the start of the playoffs, the Rams were listed at odds of +475 and the 49ers at +1000 to win the NFC at SI Sportsbook. Only Arizona (+1200) and Philadelphia (+2500) were listed as bigger long shots than San Francisco.
