Quarterbacks highlight NFL Championship Sunday
Sunday’s two conference championship games aren’t lacking in star power at the quarterback position. The NFC features two legends in Tom Brady vs. Aaron Rodgers, while the AFC has two of its brightest stars in Patrick Mahomes vs. Josh Allen.
In the opener, Rodgers and the Packers find themselves as a 3.5-point favorite at home against Brady and the Bucs.
Rodgers is hoping to erase his worst performance of the season, when he threw for just 160 yards with two interceptions in a 38-10 loss at Tampa on Oct. 18.
Brady is playing in his 14th conference championship game and looking to lead a team to his 10th Super Bowl appearance.
In the AFC, Kansas City is listed as a 3.5-point home favorite as well against the upset-minded Bills.
Mahomes gave Chiefs fans a scare when he left last week’s playoff game with a concussion. However, the NFL MVP candidate is good to go on Sunday as he seeks back-to-back Super Bowl victories.
The Bills are looking to return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1993. Of the four remaining teams, Buffalo has the best record at the betting window this season at 12-6 against the spread.
