The NFC Championship between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams promises to have fireworks.

The Rams are 3.5-point favorites at WynnBET, and the 49ers are set at +150 (bet $100 to profit $150) on the moneyline if you're feeling aggressive. The total is set at 45.5.

With it being the second-last football game for us to bet on until next fall, we should be getting in on as much action as possible. One of the best ways to do that, is to sprinkle a few dollars on a same game parlay.

Here's a four-leg parlay that I've cooked up for tonight's finale. At +1470 odds, a $25 bet would have a potential payout of $367.60. Let's break it down.

Best Same Game Parlay for 49ers vs. Rams

  • Rams Moneyline -180
  • Tyler Higbee Anytime TD +200
  • Elijah Mitchell UNDER 70.5 Rushing Yards -115
  • OBJ OVER 54.5 Receiving Yards -125

Rams Moneyline -180

I'm personally on the Rams to win and cover in this game, but to be extra conservative for the sake of the parlay, I'm going to forget the point spread and just take the Rams to win outright.

I'm not buying into the narrative that Kyle Shanahan has owned Sean McVay and the Rams in his career, and I believe the Rams are the better team. Matt Stafford threw two interceptions in each game against San Francisco this season, and as long as that doesn't happen again today, I think the Rams will be advancing to the Super Bowl.

Tyler Higbee Anytime TD +200

This is my long shot bet of the parlay. The main reason why I like Higbee to find the end zone, is that he's clearly become part of the game plan against the 49ers this season.

In their two previous meetings, Higbee has scored three touchdowns. In fact, three of his five total touchdowns this season have come against San Francisco. I like his odds at +200 (bet $100 to profit $200) to find the end zone again today.

Elijah Mitchell UNDER 70.5 Rushing Yards -115

I think a lot of things work in the favor of Elijah Mitchell's rushing total going UNDER 70.5 rushing yards. The Rams rank fifth in the NFL in opponent yards per carry, and if Los Angeles gets out to an early lead, it's going to limit Mitchell's carries down the stretch.

I further broke down why I like this pick on the latest episode of Bet and Breakfast.

OBJ OVER 54.5 Receiving Yards -125

If the 49ers are smart, their gameplan on defense should revolve around slowing down Cooper Kupp, who was undeniably the best receiver in the NFL this season. That should open up opportunities for Odell Beckham Jr. in the passing game. He's caught 10 receptions for 123 yards this postseason, and I expect him to build on that number today.
