Oddsmakers are bracing for bettors to put a ton of cash on the pivotal Lions-Rams matchup. Patrick Everson breaks down that and more.

Notable odds: The Rams are essentially a lock to make the playoffs (97% odds on NFL.com), but they are still in a very tight race with the Seahawks and 49ers in the NFC West. The No. 1 seed isn't a lock by any means but the Rams are the favorites, per The Athletic's playoff odds, at 48%.

The SportsLine Projection Model is leaning towards the home team on the spread, as the Packers cover the 6.5-point number in 53% of simulations. However, the model sees value on Bears money line as Chicago wins in 32% of simulations to bring value at +251 odds. The Over hits on 44.5 in 56% of simulations.
