Welcome to the BParlay.com NFL Conference Championship Parlay guide.
It’s NFL Conference Championship week, and this means it’s the last time we can parlay two games together. There are just three remaining games on the slate, so let’s take advantage of our final parlay of the season.
The AFC Championship will be between the Bengals and Chiefs. The NFC Championship will showcase the Rams and Niners in the late spot on Sunday night. In the Divisional Round, we learned that “An Underdog is a Hungry Dog and Hungry Dogs Run Faster.”
Three underdogs won outright last week, and I am expecting a similar result this week. We recommend our readers learn more about some of the AFC Championship facts from past games.
Bengals +7 (-110) vs Chiefs
The Cincinnati Bengals are the worst team remaining in the playoffs, but they are finding ways to survive and advance. This is a critical metric to look at when betting, which is often missed. I believe General Joseph Lee Burrow and the Bengals will win on Sunday.
However, it’s a lot to ask The Chiefs to cover a touchdown spread. If you took the Chiefs at -7, they would need to win by eight for the bet to hit. At -6.5, I may consider Kansas City, but seven makes me want to take the Bengals.
The Bengals beat the Chiefs 34-31 in Week 17 in Cincinnati. This game will be at Arrowhead Stadium, making it tougher for the Bengals. Yet, the Chiefs are bad against the pass, and they could not cover Tee Higgins or Ja’Marr Chase in man coverage.
Burrow was throwing the ball up, and the receivers were just making plays. With this being said, I like the Bengals to be within a touchdown on Sunday. Why not take a look at the BParlay.com NFL Conference Championship Picks.
49ers +3.5 (-120) vs Rams
This +3.5 line is extremely juicy for the Niners against the Rams. Los Angeles is a talented football team behind Matthew Stafford. However, San Francisco presents a lot of problems for Los Angeles.
The Niners are very good in the trenches on both sides of the football. If the Niners can effectively run the football, they will control the clock. Additionally, San Francisco’s defensive line should get after Stafford.
The way to beat Stafford is by throwing the signal-caller out of rhythm. The Niners’ defensive front makes this a likely outcome on Sunday. Also, Kyle Shanahan has owned Sean McVay in head-to-head matchups.
Shanahan has won six straight games against McVay, and many of these have been as underdogs. The Niners know what they must do to win, and I like them to execute.
The combined odds of the NFL Conference Championship parlay is +250. A $100 wager would pay out $350.
