  • The Green Bay Packers are 6.5-point home favorites over the Los Angeles Rams in Saturday’s NFC Divisional Round playoffs
  • Current record: 27-27, +1.27 units won
  • The best prop wagers to play out of this tilt are listed below

The last time the Los Angeles Rams were the visitors for an NFL playoff game against the Green Bay Packers, the Packers were defending Super Bowl champions. Defending Super Bowl 1 champions, to be precise.

That was on December 23, 1967, and the Packers won 28-7 in a game that was played at Milwaukee Country Stadium, and not on the frozen tundra of Green Bay’s Lambeau Field.

The Pack were slight 1-point favorites in that 1967 title. Green Bay is a much larger 6.5-point pick this time around.

The Packers are 5-3 against the spread this season as a home favorite. The Rams are 3-2 ATS as a road underdog.

Kickoff for Saturday’s game at Lambeau Field is 4:35 pm EST. Check out the updated injury reports, as well as other betting options prior to kickoff, but let’s start with the lines for player props.

All odds taken Jan. 15th from DraftKings/FanDuel/BetMGM

Prop #1: Hand Akers the Rock

The Rams operated a running back by committee format earlier in the season. Down the stretch and into the playoffs, they’ve gone to Cam Akers as their feature back.

In the Wild Card Weekend win over the Seattle Seahawks, Akers became the first rookie running back in Rams history to rush for 100 yards in a playoff game. He also carried the ball 28 times.

Akers has run the ball over 20 times in four of LA’s past five contests. He established career highs with 29 carries and 171 yards on the ground in a Week 14 win over New England.

Considering that quarterback Jared Goff is nursing a fractured/dislocated thumb on his right passing hand, expect the Rams to rely on the run game against Green Bay.

Pick: Cam Akers over 16.5 rush attempts (-112), 1 unit

Prop #2: Adams Will Catch Up

In Green Bay’s regular season finale against the Chicago Bears, Packers wide receiver Davante Adams caught just six passes. It was only the second time in the last 11 games that he’d been held under 6.5 receptions.

This is a showdown between the NFL’s best pass defense in the Rams and the NFL’s most dangerous receiver in Adams.

Pick: Davante Adams over 6.5 receptions (-112), 1 unit

Who Are the Best Bets to Score a Touchdown?

Packers tight end Robert Tonyan has found the end zone in six of Green Bay’s past seven games. Three times, his was the first TD of the day for the Packers. Twice, it was the first TD of the game.

Adams is a TD machine. He led all NFL receivers with 18 TDs this season, three more than any other player. He’s scored in 10 of Green Bay’s last 11 games.

Picks:

  • Robert Tonyan first TD scorer (+1000), 1 unit
  • Davante Adams anytime TD scorer (-148), 1 unit
