- It’s time to lock in and start getting bets down for the NFL Conference Championship slate

We’re looking at two games this Sunday, and that’s it. Most weeks, we’d say, “this sucks” but it’s Championship Sunday, so it’s fine. We expected this. We knew at the beginning of the season that this would happen so we’re ready. Honestly, Championship Sunday is low-key one of the best days in sports. So much is on the line, and between both games, we’re looking at 6+ hours of action. Now obviously, we need to bet these games since our NFL betting days are numbered. We only have one more game after this Sunday, and then we’ll be on our own for awhile. Not to fear, I went through both games with a fine-toothed comb. I left no stone unturned, and we were all gifted two of the greatest bets anyone could ever make because of that effort. Feels good.

Jayden Daniels Has A Cannon
Being a rookie in the NFL is very difficult. You’re basically a kid playing a very physical sport with a bunch of grown men. And that’s just being a position player. We’re not even talking about being a rookie quarterback in the NFL.
But, as the saying goes, “when you got it, you got it,” and Jayden Daniels definitely has it.

Let’s have a little honesty session here people. Trust tree activities. I didn’t think Jayden Daniels was getting the Washington Commanders past the Detroit Lions. In my brain, the Lions were going to the Super Bowl and there was no one that could stop them. I was wrong. Takes a big man to admit something like that.
Here’s the thing, I should have known the Commanders were a real threat. We all should have. They literally won seven straight games after being embarrassed by the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. That’s what good teams do whenever they get beat by a bunch of scrubs (no offense Dallas).
While this is a team game, it was Jayden leading the way in those seven games. He threw at least two touchdowns in six of those games, and in the game he failed, he only threw 12 passes since it was a meaningless Week 18 game. What’s more important is, the last time he saw this Eagles defense, he threw five touchdowns. We only need two Sunday. Feels easy.

Josh Allen Also Has a Cannon
The world is one win Kansas City Chiefs win away from another Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl appearance. Every fanbase (except for the Chiefs’) is not happy about it. I get it, people don’t like seeing the same team win over and over again. It’s just how people roll. They want the other guys to win every now and then.
At this point, only one man can save the world from having to see Kansas City back in the big game. His name is Josh Allen.
Dear Josh Allen,
Please beat the Chiefs.
Sincerely, Literally everyone in the world.

Here’s the thing about this game, I don’t know if Josh Allen is going to be able to stop the runaway freight train that is the Kansas City Chiefs. In know he did it once already this season but now we’re asking him to do it on Championship Sunday. That is a gigantic ask.
But, one thing we know for a fact will happen is Allen will definitely go down swinging (if he goes down). The man has a cannon, and this game will likely be a dogfight. That means throwing the ball will always be in play. There shouldn’t be a situation where Buffalo is just sitting on the ball because they’re up four scores. And if they are up four scores, it’s probably because of a Josh Allen laser show.
I know that Allen only threw one touchdown against the Chiefs last time they played but he was right there for the second one. The man ran the ball in from 26 yards out instead of throwing it. Whatever. Still, in the seven games since then, he’s thrown 2+ touchdowns in five of those games. I think he does it again on Sunday. Feels right.

As the NFL Conference Championships approach, many football fans are looking to add some excitement to the games by placing prop bets on individual player performances. NFL player props can be a fun way to get involved in the action and potentially win some money while watching the games.
One of the most popular types of NFL player props is betting on a player’s total passing yards, rushing yards, or receiving yards. For the Conference Championships, some of the top players to consider betting on include Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, and Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills. These quarterbacks have been putting up impressive numbers all season and are likely to continue their success in the playoffs.
Another popular player prop bet is betting on a player to score a touchdown. In the Conference Championships, players like Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams, and Stefon Diggs are all prime candidates to find the end zone. These players have been consistent scoring threats all season and should continue to be key contributors in their respective teams’ offenses.
For those looking for more unique player props, there are also bets available on things like total completions for a quarterback, total tackles for a defensive player, or total receptions for a wide receiver. These types of bets can add an extra layer of excitement to the game and allow fans to root for specific players to hit certain milestones.
When placing NFL player prop bets, it’s important to do your research and consider factors like each player’s recent performance, matchup history, and injury status. It’s also a good idea to shop around at different sportsbooks to find the best odds and maximize your potential winnings.
Overall, NFL player props can be a fun and engaging way to enhance your viewing experience during the Conference Championships. Whether you’re betting on a quarterback’s passing yards or a wide receiver’s touchdown total, there are plenty of options available to cater to every type of football fan. Just remember to gamble responsibly and enjoy the games responsibly.
