San Francisco 49ers VS Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears hold a rest advantage from playing last Saturday versus the 49ers' Monday game, crucial for a travel week, and face San Francisco's injury-weakened defense, ranked poorly with high completion rates allowed[1]. ESPN FPI favors 49ers but multiple picks highlight Bears' strong second-half offense against weaker defenses and comeback wins[2]. 49ers acquired edge rusher Keion White but their defense remains vulnerable; Bears at 11-4 with playoff motivation[1][2]. Odds at 2.57 offer value as true win probability exceeds implied ~39% given Bears' edges.

New England Patriots VS Denver Broncos
The Patriots are heavy favorites due to Broncos QB Bo Nix's season-ending ankle injury, forcing backup Jarrett Stidham into a tough matchup against New England's top-ranked defensive DVOA since Week 14. New England boasts a 14-5 ATS record this season and held Houston to 16 points in the Divisional Round. Public betting is 85% on Broncos but money is only 15%, indicating sharp action on Patriots amid reverse line movement from -4.5 to -5.5. Broncos' home dominance (14-5 SU) is undermined by the QB downgrade and poor 2-5 road ATS record.

Los Angeles Rams VS Seattle Seahawks
Seahawks are favored across all sources with a -2.5 spread and recent dominant 41-6 playoff win, while Rams escaped in overtime against Bears[2][3][5]. Seattle's top NFC defense and strong rushing success (139 and 171 yards) against Rams in prior meetings support home edge at Lumen Field[2][6]. No recent injuries noted; market stable at Seahawks moneyline around -155 to -160, indicating value on home favorite[1][3][7]. Head-to-head favors Seahawks controlling possession if QB Darnold emphasizes ground game[6].
