NFL Picks: Conference Championships

Each week Darren Dupont stops by with his betting picks and advice for our partners at ComeOn! Canada. Here they are for the conference championships!

BUF @ KC (-3)

I’ll start this by saying I really like the Buffalo Bills. But, Patrick Mahomes wasn’t 100% last week and still had the Chiefs running away with the game until his exit. So, even though I had Buffalo ahead of the Chiefs in my NFL Top-5 at the end of the season, I like the Chiefs in this game in Mahomes plays.

If you don’t think he finishes the game then feel free to take a flyer on the Bills. I’m going with KC.

TB @ GB (-3.5)

There is one scary team left in the NFL playoffs. It’s the Green Bay Packers.

The knock on their defence all season was they were too soft, and not physical enough. That’s changed. On offence you can only hope to slow down Aaron Rodgers, you can’t stop him. They don’t turn the ball over and they make you pay for mistakes. If Green Bay gets up early it could get ugly.

On the other side, if the Buccaneers can hang in and Tom Brady can put points on the board early Tampa Bay has a shot. Momentum will play a big role in the snow globe that is expected at Lambeau Field.

I’m a Tom Brady fan but… I have to put my money on the Packers.
