NFL Conference Championship Games

The matches are set for the NFL Conference Championship Games. Kansas City Chiefs will play the New England Patriots and the Rams will play the Saints. Before we make a selection lets talk about the divisional games. We picked Indy and Dallas and lost both games on Saturday, We hit with Patriots and the Saints under on Sunday. Record was 2-2. When you include Wildcard weekend the record is 5-3.

Chiefs have the most electrifying offense in the league. They are explosive and will score 30 like it's nothing. Their defense played outstanding against Indy. We are not sure if that was a one time performance. We are sure that Mahomes is MVP of the league. Tom Brady is on his way to his ultimate goal.This is his 8th straight Championship game.They match up earlier this year with the Pats winning at home. Kansas City returns the favor. More weapons than Pats. Andy gets the best of Bill this time.

Rams showed the ideal balance against the Cowboys. Two players rushed for over 100 yards. The defense controlled Zeke Elliott Brees led Saints from 14 point deficit against the Eagles. The Saints offense is not as prolific as they were prior to the loss to the Cowboys in the regular season. They finish drives now with field goals. That is not the formula for success  against the Rams. This will be a lower scoring game than the last time these two teams squared off. We see the under as the play. More time of possession drives for both teams. It is currently at 56.5.  Saints in a game that they win by 9. Payton gets the best of McVay again,

NFL Elite Eight

We did well in the Wild Card Weekend round. Depending on when you got your bet down, Seahawks covered the 2.5 and pushed on the 2. Indy won outright and  the Eagles game went under. Ravens were not successful against the Chargers. 3-1 was the record.

So this week..

We like Indy with the points against the Chiefs. Indy has the formula that will keep the Chiefs at bay. Strong running game and long drives engineered by Andrew Luck. Mahomes had MVP season. This game will go over. Andy Reid exits playoff early again.

Cowboys have momentum. They are not as impressive on the road. Defense will travel and they will stop Todd Gurley. If you can find a prop bet that features Elliott vs. Gurley, take Zeke to have more rushing yards. Rams may have peaked too early. Take Boys and the points.

Patriots vs. Chargers. This one is easy. When you can get Brady and not lay a touchdown you take him. He is 7-0 against Rivers. Second straight cross country does not bode well. We are impress with the coach of the Chargers. But not over Belichick.

Eagles and Saints. Foles magic is still in the air. Dallas gave the blueprint on how to slow down Brees. It will work for a half.  Saints will finish more drives than Birds. If you must take this game go under. 50 is a lot in a playoff game.
