NFC Championship Prediction

#1 Saints vs #2 Rams

Vegas Pick (per Bovada): Saints

My Pick: Rams

Summary: Yes, I know it is crazy to pick both number two seeds to win but the Rams defense that showed up last week versus Dallas is the one that we expected from the beginning. If the Rams offense can protect Goff and run half as well as they did last week, they can pull out this win. The Saints while may have dominated Philadelphia after the first quarter it will be a lot harder for them to pull out of a hole versus a Rams team that can run against anybody. For a Saints win they need to pressure Goff and stop the run. For the Rams to win it takes just the opposite. If Goff has time, he is an extremely talented QB and the run game just needs to continue to do its job with Anderson and Gurley. This game really will come down to who wins in the trenches, and after what I saw last week I am taking the Rams in that battle.
