Conference Championship weekend is at our doorstep with just four teams left vying for an appearance in Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, AZ. In an amazingly rewarding fashion, I think we\u2019ve all been given the four best teams of the NFL Season playing in the final four &#8211; brilliant! If you\u2019re an upset guy or a Cinderella story stan, this is not the playoffs for you. The cream rose to the top, and there are crossing themes with the final contests of the NFL season ahead. On the NFC side, we\u2019ve got two teams that lead with defense, grind you down play by play and wear you down with punishment on offense. On the AFC side, it\u2019s just two swagalicious QBs balling out like only they can and spinning their teams into championship form when it matters most.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Divisional Weekend slate was proof that winning QBs come in all forms and from any spot in the draft. From Burrow to Mahomes and Hurts to Purdy, there\u2019s uniqueness in the game\u2019s best leaders at the moment. What all four of these guys have in common is limiting mistakes, something Dak Prescott and Josh Allen could not eliminate when push came to shove. Now we&#8217;re left with the four best teams and two dynamite Sunday matchups to punch tickets to Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>BTW Our <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/play.articles.runyourpool.com\/the-precision-playoff\"><strong><em>NFL Playoff contest<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em> is still live so get yourself involved in postseason picks!

This spread indicates lots of respect for the 49ers on the road, traveling cross-country, and fielding a QB in Brock Purdy that does not have an experience like this under his belt. The Eagles looked great last weekend but had a far inferior test against their opponent. This early week spread tells me that the public money will be wooed into betting on the Eagles, and I personally do lean on the home team in this spot. I also see the 49ers offense having a hard time getting past 21 points in this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Alex\u2019s Early Play: Eagles -2.5<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles.runyourpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Eagles_Football_23022668564117.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/23213149\/Eagles_Football_23022668564117.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/23213149\/Eagles_Football_23022668564117-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/23213149\/Eagles_Football_23022668564117-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/23213149\/Eagles_Football_23022668564117-215x120.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AP Photo\/Matt Slocum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Point Total: O\/U 45.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Off of that analysis, the number is at a tempting spot to make you want to bet the over. In theory, if that Eagles offense is anywhere near as productive as last weekend they\u2019ll do their part in getting past 45, but with a spread so tight it\u2019s implying that this game gets muddy. I can\u2019t see this game getting too out of control, and even an Eagles rout at home could stay in the 30s for total points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Alex\u2019s Early Play: Under 45.5<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chiefs (EVEN) vs Bengals &#8211; 6:30 pm ET &#8211; CBS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Spread: Pick&#8217;em<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What spread? This game opened late Sunday with the Chiefs as 1 point favorite but it was quickly bet down to a pick&#8217;em. This line is subject to lots of movement, but the only thing that gets it outside of a field goal in movement is if Mahomes literally cannot play. Even a hobbled gimpy Mahomes at 60% health has this as a pretty even matchup. There\u2019s definitely the temptation to wait for some Mahomes practice footage before placing a bet, which is understandable. However, if you want the Monday lean right now, I would get the Chiefs at Even money now. The news will likely only improve on Mahomes as the week progresses, regardless of his actual level of mobility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Alex\u2019s Early Play: Chiefs ML<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Point Total: O\/U 47<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s one dramatic take I will deliver &#8211; this game will be frenetic and out of control so buckle up! Last year\u2019s matchup in this exact spot got to 51 points and I\u2019m seeing even more in this year\u2019s matchup. The reason why &#8211; both of these defenses are coming off of inspired performances but now facing a different animal in their opponent. That formula leads me to believe big plays will be busted on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Alex\u2019s Early Play: Over 47<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DIVISIONAL WEEKEND BETTING RECAP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a split decision and a 3-3 wildcard weekend, it was\u2026you guessed it\u2026another melodramatic 2-2 split on the spreads for last weekend. I read the Unders this weekend perfectly and posted those on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/courseoflife1\">@courseoflife1<\/a>, but it\u2019s still an even clip for the playoff action picks here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Divisional Weekend: 2-2 ATS, Postseason Overall: 5-5 ATS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Remember &#8211; our <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/play.articles.runyourpool.com\/the-precision-playoff\"><strong><em>NFL Playoff contest<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em> is live so there are more chances to win this postseason!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EATS AND DEETS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The best crowd: If I had to pick one, I have to lean toward<\/strong> <strong>Arrowhead.
