NFL Playoffs: Conference Championship Online Betting

NFL Playoffs Conference Championships Betting

The field for the conference championship games is set with three of the top teams in the NFL in recent years looking to punch their ticket to New Orleans. The Washington Commanders busted the party by knocking off the NFC’s top seed Detroit in the divisional round and heads to Philadelphia on Sunday for a rematch with their division rival Philadelphia boasting the longest odds of the four remaining clubs to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. It would be ludicrous to dismiss the team formerly known as the Redskins after a pair of road upsets and Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels was spectacular in the win over the Lions.

The AFC title game features familiar faces with the Kansas City Chiefs making their seventh straight trip to the conference championship and facing the Buffalo Bills in the postseason for the fourth time in the last five years. The Chiefs won the previous three meetings all at home, including a thrilling overtime game in the divisional round following the 2021 season and in the AFC Championship the previous year. Both games are a rematch from the regular season with Buffalo winning at home, 30-21, in Week 11. Washington and Philly split their two regular season games with each winning at home.

2024-25 NFL Conference Championship Playoff Schedule (ET)

Sunday, January 26, 2025

NFC Championship Game - Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles - 3:00 PM FOX

Washington Commanders +6

Philadelphia Eagles -6

Over/Under: 48

Money Line: Commanders +239, Eagles -292

Heading to Detroit as an 8-point underdog, the Commanders beat and beat up the No. 1 seed Lions, 45-31. Daniels threw for 299 yards and two TDs with another 51 yards on the ground, and the defense intercepted three Jared Goff passes and forced five turnovers. Not even considered a playoff team with a new QB, head coach and GM at the start of the season, Washington is a win away from reaching the Super Bowl for the first time in more than three decades.

Beating Philadelphia on the road won’t be easy, though, and stopping Saquon Barkley is mandatory for any team success. Barkley riddled the Rams defense for 205 yards and two scores in the 28-22 victory. The Eagles have only one setback since late September, which was to Washington in Week 16. Daniels had a late TD pass for the 36-33 Commanders victory as the teams split the season series. Barkley rushed for nearly 300 yards in the two games and the Eagles limited Daniels to less than 200 yards passing with an interception in their 26-18 Week 11 victory.

AFC Championship Game - Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs - 6:30 PM CBS

Buffalo Bills +1.5

Kansas City Chiefs -1.5

Over/Under: 47.5

Money Line: Bills +108, Chiefs -127

It’s not wise to bet against the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, who’s won his last eight postseason starts and is 16-3 in his playoff career. He had the fewest passing yards and completions in a playoff start last week going 16 of 25 for 177 yards and a TD. The Chiefs, like they’ve done all season, used a strong defensive effort and some favorable officiating to down Houston, 23-14. In a lot of ways the Chiefs resemble last year’s team that won a second straight Super Bowl title. They finished the season ranked 15th in scoring, like they did in 2023, and their defense was among the best, like it was a season ago.

If the Bills are going to break the spell now is the time. Josh Allen had a MVP-type season leading them to 13 wins for the third time in five years. He threw for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns with only six interceptions during the regular year while adding 531 yards and 12 scores on 102 rushing attempts. But he had only 127 passing yards and the Bills totaled a modest 273 yards of offense. They thwarted several Baltimore drives by forcing three turnovers, a continuation from the regular season when Buffalo led the NFL with a plus-24 turnover margin. They will have to play much better against the seasoned Chiefs, though, who have not turned the ball over in eight consecutive games.

Buffalo’s defense ended KC’s unbeaten season in Week 11 holding the Chiefs to 78 yards rushing and 259 total yards. Mahomes tossed a pair of picks in that game, which was the last time the Chiefs had a giveaway. The Bills have had regular season success in the matchup winning the last three encounters. However, they’ve failed on the biggest stage.

The two franchises that have had the most success in the AFC Championship Game are the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots. Pittsburgh has been to the AFC Championship Game 16 times in their history, and the Steelers have gone on to the Super Bowl eight times. They are known as ‘Sixburgh’ after becoming the first team to win six Super Bowl titles, but the Patriots have caught them in just two decades.

New England was the greatest dynasty the NFL has seen from 2001 to 2020. The Patriots only made it to the AFC Championship Game twice in the 20th Century, but they made it to the conference championship game 13 times from 2001 to 2018. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady went on to a record nine Super Bowls, and they lifted the Lombardi Trophy six times.

Only three teams have been to the NFC Championship Game 10 or more times. The San Francisco 49ers have made it to the NFC Championship Game 18 times, and they have gone on to make the Super Bowl on seven occasions.

The Dallas Cowboys have won the NFC a record eight times. They haven’t been to the NFC Championship Game since 1995 though, as they have largely struggled over the last quarter decade. Dallas is tied with San Francisco for the NFC teams with the most Super Bowl wins at five.

The Los Angeles Rams went back to the NFC Championship in 2018 and 2021. They beat the San Francisco 49ers after the Niners beat them in the regular season twice, and they are now 5-6 all-time in the NFC Championship Game.
