NFL Playoffs Betting Tips for the 2024 Conference Championship Match

Previous Betting News

The NFC Conference Championship will go down on Sunday, January 29th, between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles with a Super Bowl berth on the line. The NFC championship game features a matchup of the NFL’s top two defenses, which is only fitting.

The league’s best defense belongs to the 49ers, as San Francisco entered the playoffs tied for first place in the league in interceptions (20), total defense (300.6 yards per game), and points allowed (16.3). In the regular season, Philadelphia’s defense was ranked second in the NFL and led the league in sacks with 75.

Which NFC powerhouse will win this matchup? Below we will take a closer look at the best NFL Playoffs Betting for the NFC Championship and give you the best advice for this Sunday matchup.

Philadelphia vs San Francisco | Betting Advice for the 2023 Conference Championship

NFC Championship Game Odds

The San Francisco 49ers +2.5 (-110) and the Philadelphia Eagles -2.5 (-110), the two teams with the best records in the NFC, have advanced to the NFL postseason. When it comes to the Over/Under, the total has been listed at 46 points (-110). This matchup of football playmakers is worth betting on, and you can find all the Championship odds on MyBookie.

Why San Francisco will Win

Due to Trey Lance’s and Jimmy Garoppolo’s quarterback injuries, the Niners had their backs up against the wall. Despite this, the team turned to rookie “Mr. Irrelevant” Brock Purdy, and he hasn’t missed a beat going 7-0 as San Francisco’s starter. The combination of a number of playmakers and a top-ranked defense makes it difficult to win.

San Francisco is tough to beat, and they are arguably the hottest team in the NFL, with 12 straight victories. Be that as it may, they will have to travel to Lincoln Financial Field and play a flawless game, as no rookie starting quarterback has ever advanced to the Super Bowl.

Why the Philadelphia Eagles will Win

Since the beginning of the season, the Eagles have been the best team in the NFC. In addition to having the best record in the league, they also have one of the finest offenses and defenses in the NFL.

The 14-3 Philadelphia Eagles received the top NFC seed this postseason and got to sit out the first week of the playoffs and responded by trouncing the New York Giants 38-7 last week. They are the favorites to win the conference overall, according to oddsmakers, thanks to MVP finalist quarterback Jalen Hurts’ legs and arms.

NFC Championship Best Bet

The conference championship game on Sunday could turn into a defensive brawl. The 49ers and Eagles are demonstrating that defense wins championships. The difference maker in this matchup, however, will be the offense. While Brock Purdy has performed masterfully, going undefeated over his first seven starts, he struggled against his first elite defense.

Jalen Hurts, Nick Sciriani, and the Eagles’ offense on the other hand has been outperforming defenses all year. Jalen Hurts is 14-1 under center this year for Philadelphia, and the Eagles boast huge threats in both the pass and the run game. Additionally, they will have home field advantage in this one.

The Eagles will win this one by at least three points, cover the spread and be back in the Super Bowl for the first time since 2017.

NFL Betting Guide for AFC & NFC Championship Games

With both conference championships set to get underway in just over 72 hours, is there a better time for an NFL Betting guide that could help you cash in big on both affairs?

I think not! Now, let’s check the latest NFL odds and get to it.

Jacksonville Jaguars (12-6) at New England Patriots (14-3)

• When: Sunday, 3:05 PM ET
• Where: Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, Mass.
• TV: CBS
• Radio: 1010 AM (Jacksonville) / 98.5 FM (New England)
• NFL Betting Odds: New England Patriots -8.5 (Over/Under at 46.5 points)

The Jags shut the Bills down 10-3 to get the win in the divisional round and then hung a whopping 45 points on Pittsburgh to pull off the huge upset. New England beat the hell out of Tennessee 35-14 to win their divisional matchup last weekend.

Over/Under Betting Breakdown

The Over is 5-0 in Jacksonville’s last 5 games following a straight-up win and 4-0 in their last four games following an ATS win. However, NFL bettors should know that the Under is 8-2 in the Jaguars’ last 10 games against their AFC counterparts and 2-1 in their last three games overall. Of course, both under outcomes came against seriously offensively-challenged teams (Tennessee and Buffalo).

The Over is 4-0 in the New England’s last four playoff games, a pristine 7-0 in their last 7 playoff home games and a consistent 8-3 in their last 11 home games overall. However, you should know that the Under is 5-2 in New England’s last seven Conference Championships games, an identical 5-2 in their last seven games against a team with a winning record and 9-4 in their last 13 games overall.

I don’t know how crucial the head-to-head trends for this matchup are seeing as how the Jags are a completely different team from the one that compiled these trends.

Minnesota Vikings (14-3) at Philadelphia Eagles (14-3)

• When: Sunday, 6:40 PM ET
• Where: Lincoln Financial Field, Philly
• TV: Fox
• Radio: 1270 AM (Minnesota) / SportsRadio 94WIP (Philadelphia)
• Stream Option: Fox Sports Go
• NFL Betting Odds: Minnesota Vikings -3 (Over/Under at 38 points)

The second-seeded Vikings needed a miracle to advance to the conference championship 29-24 over New Orleans while Philadelphia smacked Atlanta around in their respective divisional round showdown 15-10.

The Under has been a rock for Minnesota, going 10-2 in the Vikings’ last 12 road games against a team with a winning home record and an equally consistent 20-7 in their last 27 games against a team with a winning record. The Under is also 4-0 in Philadelphia’s last 4 home games, 6-0 in their last six home games against a team with a winning road record and 6-2 in the Eagles’ last eight games overall. Also, the under is an unblemished 4-0 in the last four meetings between these NFC rivals when they meet in Philadelphia and 5-2 in the last seven meetings overall.

There’s some ATS history here, but then again, these two have only met once as they are currently composed with Philly bagging a 21-10 home win in October of 2016.

Previous Betting News

And just like that we are down to just 4 teams remaining in the NFL playoffs, which means that the Conference Championship Round is now upon us. It is a pair of interesting battles that await us, particularly in the AFC, where the #6 seeded Tennessee Titans are still alive and looking to take another big scalp when they head to Kansas City to face the Chiefs. In the NFC, it is the top two seeds who will be doing battle, with the Green Bay Packers heading west to face the San Francisco 49ers.

We will be breaking these games down over the course of this week and making some predictions as we go, but for now, let’s take a closer look at the NFL odds for both games this coming Sunday, keeping in mind that the odds may move a little as the week progresses.

Betting Guide for 2020 NFL Conference Championship Games

Tennessee Titans vs Kansas City Chiefs AFC Championship Game

• When: Sunday, January 19, 3:05 p.m.
• Where: Arrowhead, Kansas City
• TV: CBS

After coming from 24-0 down to beat the Houston Texans 51-31 in the Divisional Round, the Chiefs were immediately installed as the favorite to win the Super Bowl. Their pick as the favorite was certainly aided by the fact that they will be at home to the #6 seed Tennessee Titans this weekend. It’s no real surprise then that the Chiefs are a pretty big favorite, with their SU odds set at -370. The Titans have already had a pair of massive road wins as an underdog in the playoffs, and if you like them to make it 3 in a row, you can get them at +280.

As far as the point spread goes, the Chiefs are in as a 7 ½ point favorite for this game, a position that they have been in over their last 4 games. They are 6-3 ATS in home games this season, which makes them seem like a good bet. The Titans are used to being the underdog, as they have covered twice as the dog in these playoffs.

Finally, the point total for this one is set at 52. These two teams have a combined O/U record of 19-16 this season, so this is one that could really go either way.

NFL Betting Trends

• Titans are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games against an opponent in the AFC conference
• Titans are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games on the road
• The total has gone OVER in 9 of Tennessee’s last 12 games
• Chiefs are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games this season
• Chiefs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games at home
• The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Kansas City’s last 6 games played on a Sunday

Green Bay Packers vs San Francisco 49ers NFC Championship Game

• When: Sunday, January 19, 6:40 p.m.
• Where: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara
• TV: FOX

It is always interesting when you get a playoff game that features a pair of teams who already met in the regular season. That is what we are getting this weekend, as the San Francisco 49ers will be looking to do the double overt the Green Bay Packers, a task that is going to be easier said than done. The 49ers won in comfortable fashion in the previous meeting and are in as the favorite at -330. If you like the Packers to ger their revenge here, then you can play them at +260.

It was a bit of a blowout the last time these two met, with San Francisco winning that one by a score of 37-8. The bookies don’t seem to be convinced that we will see a repeat of that, though, as they have the 49ers in as a much more modest 7-point favorite, although the regular season meeting had San Francisco in as just a 3-point favorite.

The point total for the NFC Championship Game has been set at 45. Thus far, these two teams have combined to go 15-18-1 O/U on the season.

NFL Betting Trends

• Packers are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games against an opponent in the NFC conference
• Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games played in January
• The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Green Bay’s last 5 games on the road
• 49ers are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home
• 49ers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games played on a Sunday
• The total has gone OVER in 7 of San Francisco’s last 10 games against Green Bay
