Seahawks host Rams in NFC Championship with Super Bowl berth at stake

Cbssports reports the Seattle Seahawks will host the Los Angeles Rams at Lumen Field on Sunday, Jan. 25, at 6:30 p.m. ET in the NFC Championship, with the winner advancing to the Super Bowl on Jan. 25, 2026 at 2:06 pm ET.

Seattle reached the conference title after a 41-6 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round, while the Rams advanced following dramatic postseason wins, including an overtime victory over the Chicago Bears; Los Angeles has won its two playoff games by a combined six points. The teams split their regular-season meetings — the Rams won 21-19 in the first game, forcing four interceptions from Sam Darnold, and Seattle won the second in overtime after erasing a 30-14 fourth-quarter deficit. Odds listed via DraftKings Sportsbook show Seahawks -2.5, O/U 46.5.

Key storylines include Sam Darnold’s varied results against the Rams’ defense, Matthew Stafford’s contrasting performances in the two matchups, and Seattle losing Zach Charbonnet to a torn ACL, which leaves Kenneth Walker III as the likely feature back (George Holani could potentially return from injured reserve). The article’s prediction favors the Rams in a close game — pick: Rams 23, Seahawks 20 — with the outcome hinging on quarterback play and matchup execution.
