The 49ers beating the Eagles would send the Rams to Chicago and give LA a chance to potentially host the NFC title game

The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers won their games during Wildcard Weekend on Jan. 10 and Jan. 11, but who are they playing against next?

The NFL wild-card round certainly lived up to its name. The Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks -- the top seeds in the AFC and the NFC, respectively -- will get in on the action this coming weekend in the divisional round after earning first-round byes.

I don't want to say that the NFL should cancel the rest of the postseason, but the league might want to give it some serious thought because there's no way anything is going to top what happened on Wild Card Weekend.

The Rams will go to Seattle to play the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, if the betting odds are to be believed.

In Sporting News picks and predictions against the spread for the divisional playoffs, top seeds Seattle and Denver survive tough tests while underdog No. 2 Chicago gets a lot more respect.

With the 49ers' 23-19 win over the Eagles on Sunday, the No. 5 seed Rams are headed to Chicago to take on the No. 2 seed Bears at Soldier Field in next weekend's divisional round of the playoffs. Rams-Bears will take place Sunday, January 18. The kickoff time will be announced Monday night (Jan. 12).

The 49ers, the No. 6 seed in the NFC, won 23-19 at Philadelphia on Sunday in the wild card round to advance, and as the lowest seed to move on to the divisional round, they'll head to Seattle. Had the Eagles won, the Seahawks would have hosted the fifth-seeded Rams, but instead the Rams will head to Chicago to face the Bears, the NFC's No. 2 seed.

If the Packers hadn't blown a 21-3 halftime lead to the Bears, the Seahawks had a chance to avoid playing either of their two division rivals that currently are in the NFC postseason.
