Surprisingly close lines in both games today.
Chiefs are only a 3 point favorite and Packers 3 1/2.
I think I’m most surprised by the Chiefs line. I believe if you Like KC you must give up the 3. But there’s concern with Mahomes health. And if anyone could upset their quest for a repeat to SB the Bills look poised to deliver. I’ll be pulling for Buffalo and they were my dog about mid season to make some noise as I’m big on Allen but to actually put money on them winning and or covering isn’t what I’d call a good bet. Regardless the results looks like the Bills will be a serious contender for years to come .
In the NFC the Packers have been the best team all year. Rodgers of course on another MVP pace but it’s their defense which could win it for them. I’ll be rooting for Brady and the Bucs but it’s very difficult to pick Packers loosing at Lambeau in January. This is Rodgers 5th NFC championship game and first at home. But if anyone could pull off the upset Brady is the guy. The Bucs also have the home field in SB going against them which no other team has ever had which this year of course might not make as much difference except sleeping in your own bed .
I think we could see an upset in either of the games today and why Vegas has the lines so close. I also think the league and powers that be would like to see the Packers/ Chiefs SB. I was hoping the lines would be larger and I’d be tempted to take one of the Dogs as I see both with a real shot to win but I’d be rooting for one of them to cover while losing which is very difficult with the spread .
As always , a smart wager is made with your mind not your heart. Since I think both Dogs could win and the lines are too small I’m opting out. So, I’m going to bail on both games as too close to call and take the over in GB (52)and under in KC.(56).
Should be two great games . Which these playoffs haven’t had enough of. And any combination should be a great matchup for SB.
Go Bucs and Bills!!
