Conference Championship sides and totals
Hitting the spread and over/under for both games
Last week was a good 3-1 week, bringing us to 6-3 on sides and totals in the playoffs. The idea the cream would rise to the crop in this year’s playoffs has proven true, as we’re down to a final four entirely taken from that tier of what was in my opinion five top teams entering the playoffs.
The Bills are the one elite team that didn’t make it, losing out to the Bengals last week. Betting on the other three to win and cover last week proved fruitful, even if the Chiefs failed to get there on the backdoor cover with the late Jaguars field goal. But now things change as the matchups are fascinating, balanced between teams of relatively equal strength and with a Super Bowl appearance on the line. It should be a fascinating Conference Championship weekend.
Contrary to my typical delay until the end of the week to make my picks, I’ve already got my positions crystallized. Here are my picks for Sunday.
