5 Rams at Packers prop bet predictions for NFC Divisional Round
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 8:52 a.m. ET.
Packers WR Davante Adams UNDER 76.5 receiving yards (-110)
Rams CB Jalen Ramsey faced some of the top receivers in the NFL this season but didn’t allow a single one to go over 57 yards receiving when in coverage – and that group included players such as DK Metcalf, DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Evans, Amari Cooper and Allen Robinson.
Adams is extremely talented and can take over a game, but Packers QB Aaron Rodgers won’t force the ball to him with Ramsey in coverage.
Take the UNDER 76.5 (-110) here.
Rams RB Cam Akers OVER 70.5 rushing yards (-105)
Akers burst onto the scene as one of the top running backs in football over the last five weeks. He rushed for at least 72 yards in four of his last six games, including a 131-yard performance against the Seattle Seahawks last week. The Rams will rely on the running game against a Packers defense that ranked 21st in yards per carry allowed this season.
Take the OVER 70.5 (-105).

RAMS to call first time out (-115)
Ask any Rams fan and they’ll tell you head coach Sean McVay has a penchant for wasting timeouts early in games. If the play clock is running down on a key third-down play, or if he doesn’t like the look the defense gives, he’ll call a timeout and reset.
Take the RAMS (-115) to call the first timeout.
Rodgers OVER 1.5 touchdown passes (-200)
Rodgers had multiple touchdown passes in 14 of his 16 games this season. The Rams allowed only 17 touchdown passes all year, but Rodgers is a different breed. He’ll find the end zone at least twice against the Rams, even if they’re not of the deep variety. He and Adams will connect in the red zone.
Packers RB Aaron Jones OVER 25.5 yards receiving (-110)
Jones didn’t have a prolific season catching the ball, but he’s still highly effective in that phase of the game. He had six games with at least 3 catches and 26 yards, and he’s going up against a Rams defense that is weak at inside linebacker.
Expect Rodgers to dump it off to Jones often when the pressure comes. Take the OVER 25.5 (-110).
