2022 NFC Championship SBG Odds Overview
The futures market is a classic case of the sports betting masses having their say. To illuminate the public can always be counted upon to make the obvious choice. Green Bay is the top seed in the NFC based on record. And the “Frozen Tundra” of Lambeau Field is perceived as the ultimate home field advantage. Additionally, quarterback Aaron Rodgers is putting up video game numbers. Casuals find that combination impossible to ignore.
In like manner, the Buccaneers are the defending Super Bowl champions. This year, Tampa Bay was a better team than last season’s surprising group. Naturally, Tom Brady is a huge betting draw as the GOAT of quarterbacks.
Wise Guys like the combination of the Rams’ recent form and the higher price. Indeed, sharps believe that Los Angeles is the best value on the board.
While San Francisco scored an epic Wild Card upset at Dallas, gamblers don’t see the 49ers as a serious contender.
Green Bay Packers
On the whole, the Packers were the most profitable team on the board in the NFC. Green Bay was 12-5 vs. the NFL betting odds. However, caution is advised on the Lambeau Field theory. The last time the Packers won the NFC championship on their home field was in 1996. Further, Green Bay has suffered a litany of playoff flops at home. Including last year when the Buccaneers controlled the game and got the win.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
It is true that Philadelphia didn’t deserve to be in the 2021 NFL Playoffs. But Tampa Bay illustrated that with an exclamation point. Tom Brady and the defense are in top form. And the Buccaneers have the confidence of a proven champion.
Los Angeles Rams
Late on, the Rams have covered five of their most recent seven games. Los Angeles destroyed Arizona in the Wild Card round 34-11. Head coach Sean McVay traded for quarterback Matthew Stafford. McVay was wise to cut ties with previous quarterback Jared Goff, who lacks Stafford’s skill set. Of great concern is that the Rams have dropped a notch defensively from last year. But Stafford has helped cover for that.
San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers win at Dallas will go down in NFL history as one of the most memorable playoff games ever. Yet the Cowboys played Santa Claus with 14 penalties and numerous other mistakes. Further, 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo did everything possible to blow the game. But the rest of his team saved the day.
