NFL odds, lines, spreads: 2026 Championship Round NFL picks, predictions from proven model

The Championship Round NFL odds have one top seed favored at home, while the other is a home dog to utilize in Championship Round NFL bets. The No. 1 Seahawks are favored 2.5 by points over the Rams in the NFC Title Game, while the top-seeded Broncos are 5.5-point underdogs to New England in the AFC Championship Game. Of course, much of the Championship Round NFL spread over in the AFC has to do with Bo Nix (ankle) being out for the rest of the season. Jarrett Stidham will start against his former team but hasn't thrown a regular season pass in over two years.

Over in the NFC, the Seahawks are the No. 1 seed for the fourth time in franchise history, and they advanced to the Super Bowl each of the three previous times. With that bit of history on their side, plus a rest advantage, how much confidence will you put in Seattle with Championship Round NFL picks?
