PrizePicks entry for the AFC & NFC Championship games on Sunday

Three. More. Games. That’s it. That’s all we have left in the football season. The good news is, Conference Championship Sunday should be a really good one. The Bengals are justifiably big underdogs, but seeing what Joe Burrow can do going up against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs is must-watch TV. Something tells me this won’t be the last time we see this playoff matchup. In the NFC, it’s yet again the 49ers and the Rams for the 3rd time this season. It’s so hard to beat a team 3 times, can San Francisco do it? Here’s my PrizePicks entry for Sunday’s game. We also have full game betting previews for both the AFC Championship and NFC Championship.

Patrick Mahomes OVER 283.5 Pass Yards

Ok, this is the square pick and betting on the superstars isn’t always the sharpest of options. That said, he’s Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense has flipped their switch. Mahomes has easily cleared that mark in both playoff games this season, going over by 95 yards and 121 yards. He didn’t quite get there in the one matchup with Cincy this season, but I think we’re looking at a different Chiefs team, and more so a different Chiefs offense than the one we saw lose in Cincy. Mahomes has gone over 283.5 Pass Yards in 7 of his 10 career playoff games including 3 of his last 4. The only one in that 4 game stretch he didn’t go over was last year’s Super Bowl when he was constantly under pressure.

Deebo Samuel OVER 0.5 TD

There haven’t been many offensive weapons as dangerous and as valuable to their team as Deebo Samuel has been the last couple of months. He’s been Kyle Shanahan’s Swiss Army Knife being as effective out of the backfield as he has been split out. From the 49ers blow out of the Rams 31–10 on Monday Night Football in Week 10 til now he has 10 touchdowns and there’s only been 2 games that he hasn’t gotten in the end zone. No doubt Samuel will have a huge effect on the 49ers chances Sunday, I like his TD over whether that comes on a reception or a rush attempt.
