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, fans and bettors alike are eagerly anticipating the matchups between the top teams in each conference. Along with the excitement of the games themselves, there is also plenty of interest in player prop bets, which allow bettors to wager on specific individual player performances.

One popular prop bet for the Conference Championships is the over/under on passing yards for the starting quarterbacks. In the AFC Championship game, for example, Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs and Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills are two of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the league. Bettors can place a wager on whether Mahomes will throw for over or under a certain number of yards, or whether Allen will surpass a specific yardage total.

Another common prop bet is the over/under on total touchdowns scored by a specific player. In the NFC Championship game, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers is known for his ability to throw multiple touchdown passes in a single game. Bettors can place a wager on whether Rodgers will throw for over or under a certain number of touchdowns, or whether a running back like Aaron Jones will rush for a certain number of scores.

In addition to passing yards and touchdowns, there are also prop bets available for other player statistics such as rushing yards, receiving yards, and tackles. For example, bettors can wager on whether a running back like Derrick Henry of the Tennessee Titans will rush for over or under a certain number of yards in the AFC Championship game.

Overall, player prop bets add an extra layer of excitement to the Conference Championships, allowing fans to root for their favorite players while also potentially winning some money. Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or just looking to add some extra fun to your viewing experience, consider placing a wager on one of the top NFL player prop bets for the upcoming Conference Championships.
