NFL Conference Championships

New England Patriots at Denver Broncos
The NFL could not have wished for two better match ups. In the early game Tom Brady and the New England Patriots travel to Mile High Field in Denver to battle Payton Manning and the Denver Broncos. If this game is anything like the first match up this season then we are in for a treat.
I really like Patriots +5.5 and even to win this outright. Patriots Coach Bill Belicheck is so smart and has more versatility than the Broncos. Denver are very reliant on Payton Manning making a lot of 3rd and short passes and just passes in general. Patriots Defense played lights out in the second half of their first meeting and if they can reproduce that Denver will really struggle.
Even with all the Patriot injuries they find new ways to win every week. I trust Tom Brady in spots like this not to mention Bill Belicheck.
BET ON: New England Patriots +5.5

San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks
This could be one of the meanest matchups ever. These two teams are not fans of one another. The 49ers have timed their run well and are peaking at just the right time. Seattle have been atop the NFC all year and nearly impossible to beat at home. By now you may have heard of Seattle’s 12th Man, the home crowd at CenturyLink Field is so loud that they actually have a big outcome on games.
The game total is currently 40.0 which is very low. I agree this will be a low scoring game and the line looks off by half a point to me. There is only a field goal in this. Overtime would not be a surprise. We will gladly take the points in this game in what looks like a coin flip.
BET ON: San Francisco 49ers +3.5
SIDE BAR: With Seattle and San Francisco beating each other to death. I believe there is value in betting the Superbowl this week. They do get an extra week off before the Superbowl but there could be a handful of serious injuries from the NFC championship game. With that being said we are recommending a small play on New England Patriots at $6.00 to win the Superbowl.
