The stage is set for Super Bowl 60, but before that, there's a must-win showdown between the top contenders, the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game this weekend.
Sky Sports NFL experts Neil Reynolds and Jeff Reinebold are confident that the Seahawks have something that sets them apart from their opponents - a winning mentality. According to Sky Sports, head coach Sean McVay has publicly criticized his own play-calling following Sunday's win against the Chicago Bears, unhappy with how the team performed in terms of its feel for the flow of the game. The loss will have undoubtedly given McVay a lot to think about.
However, despite McVay's concerns, the Rams are expected to put up a strong fight. The question is whether their performance levels were consistent enough throughout the season, especially considering how they managed to win against the Chicago Bears despite struggling in key areas of play.
In contrast, the Seahawks have been in scintillating form recently, storming to the NFC's No 1 seed with an impressive 14-3 record. They have the hottest team in football right now and are likely to be the ones pushing for victory.
When these two teams met earlier this season, it was a closely contested game that went down to the wire. However, as Sky Sports expert Jeff Reinebold suggests, the Rams' performance levels in their previous games against the Seahawks were not as consistent as they need to be if they want to win this one.
Ultimately, both teams have something to give the other, and it's likely to be a game that goes down to the wire. If the Rams can put together a full 60 minutes of football, they could just about take Seattle down.
