5 Most Popular Bets and Prop Bets for the NFC Conference Championship Game: San Francisco 49ers vs Los Angeles Rams
The NFC Conference Championship is a bit more of a toss-up for MGM bettors in comparison to the AFC Conference Championship. The 49ers have already defeated the Los Angeles Rams twice this season. Actually, San Francisco has won four straight against the Rams dating back to last season.
This year, it's no secret that the Rams have the better roster but it still seems like the 49ers have the Rams' number.
Here are the most popular bets for the San Francisco 49ers vs Los Angeles Rams Conference Championship Round match-up via Bet MGM.

Most Popular Bets
Rams -3.5 @ -110 (Bet $110 to win $100)
| Bet | Bets% | Handle% |
|---|---|---|
| Rams -3.5 | 57% | 48% |
| 49ers +3.5 | 43% | 52% |
The percentage of bets and handle are all over the place for this NFC Conference Championship game. The Rams are getting 55 percent of the bets on -3.5 but the 49ers are getting 55 percent of the handle at +3.5 via Bet MGM.
This is a pure toss-up game and it could really go either way. The 49ers have had so much success against the Rams recently, but it just seems and feels like the Rams are the team to beat this year in the postseason.
Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers Line Movement
Over 47.5 @ -110 (Bet $110 to win $100)
| Bet | Bets% | Handle% |
|---|---|---|
| Over 45.5 | 54% | 45% |
| Under 45.5 | 46% | 55% |
Again, the percentage of bets is higher on the over but the percentage of the handle is higher on the under. 55 percent of the bets are on the over while 53 percent of the handle is on the under.
In two games this season, the total of the games between the 49ers and Rams would've gone over once and under once.
If you look at what these two teams have done recently on defense, it makes sense why the handle is on the under at 53 percent. The 49ers made Aaron Rodgers struggle and put together a fantastic plan on special teams.
Meanwhile, the Rams defense gave the Buccaneers nothing in the first half last week and while the offense tried to give away the game, the defense stepped up early enough in the game to prove how valuable they can be.
Top Prop Bets for 49ers vs Rams
- Cooper Kupp to score 1st Touchdown @ +500 (Bet $100 to win $500)
- Cooper Kupp to score Anytime Touchdown @ -125 (Bet $125 to win $100)
- Cam Akers Under 63.5 Rushing Yards @ -115 (Bet $115 to win $100)
The public loves Cooper Kupp! Bettors at MGM are not only betting Kupp to score anytime, they're also betting on Kupp to score the first touchdown of the game.
If Kupp scores the first touchdown, it'll be an extremely solid statement from the Rams. Kupp accumulated 16 touchdowns in the regular season and added nearly 2,000 yards on the regular season.
Kupp also added a touchdown in each playoff game so far and has caught 14 of his 18 targets in those two games. It's a good bet that Kupp will find the endzone, however, it looks like the sharp money is on the under. So be careful with touchdown props. This game could be sneaky and go under.
Meanwhile, Cam Akers struggled last week, rushing 24 times for just 48 yards. He also had just 55 yards on 17 carries in the previous week against Arizona. So now the public is against Akers and what the Rams can do offensively with him.
But let me remind you, it takes just one big run against the 49ers to hit the over on this prop. I don't think it'll happen either, but Akers does look healthy and ready to take on many carries. If he's getting 24 carries in this game, he's getting over his prop. I'm just saying.
