A spot in the NFC Championship will be on the line when the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears square off in the Divisional Round on Sunday evening at Soldier Field in Chicago. Both teams are already on their proverbial second lives after surviving respective thrillers during wild-card action last weekend. The Rams went into Carolina and outlasted the Panthers in a back-and-forth battle, while the Bears came back from 18 points down to beat the visiting Packers.
I have been cashing Same Game Parlays left and right throughout the season, so let’s keep the momentum rolling with my SGP for this 6:30 pm ET Sunday kickoff on NBC. Also be sure to check out our full Rams vs Bears predictions.
Puka Nacua to score a touchdown (-115)
Colby Parkinson to score a touchdown (+235)
D’Andre Swift to score a touchdown (+160)
Rams vs Bears SGP odds: +1600
I like the Rams to win, but they don’t have any value against the spread at -3.5 – nor do they have any on the money line as -198 favorites. Instead, I will exclusively hammer the player props market – specifically touchdown scorers. Both of these prolific offenses should be able to put up plenty of points at the expense of 2 defenses that have been struggling a bit of late. I see several different players finding the endzone on Sunday, so let’s throw a trio together in a lucrative parlay.
Rams vs Bears parlay pick: Puka Nacua to score a touchdown (-115)
Nacua has scored at least 1 touchdown in 4 consecutive contests, including 2 in a Week 16 overtime loss at Seattle. He finished the regular season with 10 TDs before catching 10 of 18 targets for 111 yards and 1 touchdown during a 34-31 victory at Carolina. Nacua also rushed for a score in the wild-card round. Playoff success is nothing new for the BYU product, who made 9 receptions on 10 targets for 181 yards and a TD during a 2023 wild-card loss to Detroit.
Rams vs Bears parlay pick: Colby Parkinson to score a touchdown (+235)
This should be a relatively favorable matchup for everyone involved in the Rams’ air attack. The Bears’ defense ranked #22 against the pass during the regular season and #28 in yards per pass attempt allowed, while surrendering 32 touchdowns through the air. Only 4 teams gave up more. Don’t be surprised if Parkinson takes advantage on Tuesday after he scored the game-winning TD at Carolina in the wild-card round. The tight end out of Stanford also scored twice in the regular-season finale against Arizona, so he is on an absolute heater. Matthew Stafford will have utmost confidence in Parkinson, especially in the red zone.
Rams vs Bears parlay pick: D’Andre Swift to score a touchdown (+160)
Swift scored 4 touchdowns in the last 4 games of the regular season. The former Georgia standout followed that up by rushing for a TD in last weekend’s 31-27 win over Green Bay. You could argue that it’s a surprise when Swift doesn’t score, so getting him all the way at +160 represents great value. Although L.A.’s defense is quite good in general, it has been gashed in recent weeks by Carolina, Seattle and Atlanta. When Swift faced the Rams during the 2024 regular season, he torched them for 165 yards from scrimmage and 1 touchdown.
