Squawka Signal, our own NFL model, is live for the NFC Championship. It rates every NFC team from five seasons of results and its projected quarterback, then simulates the season tens of thousands of times to work out how often each one reaches Super Bowl LXI. The full board is below, and it moves with results, injuries and quarterback changes.

What the Squawka Signal says
Squawka Signal makes the Seattle Seahawks its NFC Championship favourites at 21.9%, with the Los Angeles Rams the main threat on 20.4% and the Philadelphia Eagles next. These are the model’s numbers — a data-led read from tens of thousands of season simulations — and they move after every week of results.
How the Squawka Signal NFL model works
Squawka Signal is a power-rating model. It starts from an Elo rating built on every NFL game since 2021 — a single number for each team’s strength — then applies a quarterback adjustment, the biggest single lever in projecting NFL results, so a team is rated on who is actually under centre rather than last year’s roster.
From those ratings we simulate the rest of the season tens of thousands of times — every game, the playoff bracket and a neutral-site Super Bowl — and count how often each team lifts the trophy. The numbers refresh as games are played, moving with results, injuries and quarterback changes. Full detail is in our Signal methodology.
NFL NFC Championship odds FAQ
Our Squawka Signal model rates every team from five seasons of results, adjusts for each side’s projected starting quarterback, then simulates the rest of the season tens of thousands of times. The figure is a model probability, not a sportsbook price.
The model refreshes as games are played — through the regular season and into the playoffs — so the numbers move with results, injuries and quarterback changes.
No. These are our Squawka Signal model’s probabilities, not a bookmaker’s price — a data-led read on the race, updated as games are played.
