For the first of the two matches in the NFC, the Los Angeles Rams will welcome the Dallas Cowboys. Fresh from their wildcard win, the Texas-based Cowboys faces a daunting challenge in the form of the conference’s second seed, the Rams. Bookie bet365 has the Cowboys at 3.65 while the Rams are priced at 1.3.

Meanwhile, odds suggest that defending champions Philadelphia Eagles will be unable to replicate its Cinderella run last season. On Sky Bet, the Super Bowl LIII winners and NFC sixth seed have the odds of 4 to win, far larger than the 1.25 of their rivals, the conference-best New Orleans Saints. The disparity made sense, after the Saints dismantled the Eagles 48-7 during Week 11.
