AFC & NFC Championship Betting Predictions: Best Picks to Win their Conference | MyBookie Regular Season Preview

Regular Season: September 7th, 2023 – January 7th, 2024

Top National Football Conference Picks

NFC Top Pick: San Francisco 49ers +360

The San Francisco 49ers have a good problem. SF boasts three legit starting quarterbacks on their roster. Brock Purdy projects as the starter.

Trey Lance could be the backup. Or Sam Darnold could be the backup and Lance could be third string. No matter which way Kyle Shanahan goes, he knows he’s got a legit starter at the position.

The reason that’s important is because Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey are two of the top skill players in the league. George Kittle is also up there.

When it comes to SF’s defense, forget it. The Niners will boast a top three unit. So SF turns the tables on conference rival Philadelphia in the title match this season.

Second Pick: Philadelphia Eagles +280

Philly could be even more effective on offense now that they’ve committed to star quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Defensively, losing a player like Javon Hargrave, to San Francisco no less, will have an effect. But even if top draft pick Jalen Carter doesn’t pan out, the D is good enough to stop most offenses. Philly is for sure in the mix to win the NFC Championship.

Best Underdog Play: New Orleans Saints +1325

Derek Carr should have the best season of his career. For starters, he lands on a team with plenty of skill player talent, including a top wide receiver duo in Chris Olave and Michael Thomas.

More importantly, Carr plays for a stable franchise, which is something he never had in Las Vegas. Also, Derek has more room to make mistakes because the Saints D is going to be stellar.

Top American Football Conference Picks

Top Pick: Cincinnati Bengals +520

The missing piece to the Bengals quest for a Lombardi, the reason Cincinnati fell to the Rams in the 2022 Super Bowl and lost to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship last season, was a great left tackle.

The Bengals solved the issue this offseason by attracting Kansas City’s excellent LT, Orlando Brown Jr. With Brown Jr. firmly set at left tackle, Joe Burrow should have even more time to get the ball to Ja’Marr Chase.

The defense will be one of the AFC’s better units. For the Cincy Bengals, it’s all systems go.

Second Pick: Baltimore Ravens +940

Losing your left tackle is a big deal, which is why we believe Baltimore challenges Cincinnati for the conference title and not Kansas City.

Lamar Jackson, for the first time in his NFL career, has a legit WR1 target in Odell Beckham Jr. We know the rushing attack will be fantastic and the Ravens defense bounced back big time in 2022 after a subpar 2021. Baltimore can win the conference.

Best Underdog Play: Jacksonville Jaguars +1325

Trevor Lawrence and the Jags got a taste of what playoff football is like. TL rallied the Jaguars to a victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Jacksonville’s wild card game.

The Jags played well when losing to the KC Chiefs in the divisional round. This season, the Jaguars could take the next step and make the Super Bowl. On paper, few teams in the league show as talented of a roster as the Jacksonville Jaguars.
