S1 E18: NFL Conference Championship Weekend! Our Best Bets and our Favorite Conspiracies

The Huddle

We are down to the final four in the NFL postseason as the Kansas City Chiefs face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship and the San Francisco 49ers host the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship.

Today on The Huddle, the guys break down their six favorite picks from this weekend’s pair of games as they look to get back on track from a rough 1-5 record in the Divisional Round.

Speaking of the Divisional Round, the guys start the episode looking back at an absolutely wild weekend filled with upsets, near-upsets, absolute beatdowns and the expected: the Kansas City Chiefs defeating Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.

Ninja is still absolutely reeling from one of the toughest bad beats in all of the NFL this season after James Cook had his OVER 62.5 rushing yards beat going into the fourth quarter, but then losing it all and selling the bag in the fourth as he rushed for -6 in the final 15 minutes.

Then, the fellas rhyme off some of their favorite sports conspiracies after talking about the NFL script writers making an appearance once again of the weekend.

Before getting into our best bets, Tony breaks down what he sees in both conference championship games and whether or not the weather is going to play a factor, or how deep you should look into refereeing data as there is some “controversy” around the NFL’s choice to officiate the Chiefs-Ravens game, and if the 49ers should get an extra home field advantage considering the Lions don’t really play outdoors that much.

Finally, the fellas look to bounce back from a 1-5 show last week with their six favorite bets. Tony handles teasers, sides and totals while Ninja is all about player props this week.
