NFL Playoffs Picks: AFC and NFC Conference Championship
We’ve won money on seven of the eight playoff games so far, missing only our lowest confidence play on the Chargers game in the first round. Here, we have two games that I’m nowhere near as exciting about gambling on as I was with all the other games so far this playoffs. Still, we have some thoughts.
AFC Championship:
New England Patriots at Denver Broncos (-4)
I like the Broncos here, but not with confidence. So far in the Manning V. Brady rivalry, Peyton has either won a tight game or gotten blown out. That said, the Broncos defense is much better than the Colts defenses ever were. I think there’s revenge on Manning’s mind in this winner-take-all game. I like the Broncos ML, and I’m not confident they’ll cover. Dangerous game, but this should be as fun as it gets to watch. I’m rooting for the Broncos, I’m on them on the money line, and that’s about all I’ve got for this one.
Broncos 30 – Patriots 28

NFC Championship
San Francisco 49ers (+3.5) at Seattle Seahawks
I like the drama and the silly story lines behind this one, like the Seahawks not selling to California addresses. Still, it has no bearing on this game. I’ll be honest, I hate the Seahawks. I hate their coach, their star cornerback, their attitude. Without grace, hopefully comes humility. I’m not the biggest Niners fan in the world, but I’m rooting for them here.
Mostly, this is an emotional pick. It’s my lowest confidence play of the whole playoffs, and I’m recommending to just stay away. Still, if I had to pick, and I could ignore my angst, I side with the 49ers. They’re hot, they have the defense to control this game, and their versatile offense should carry them to a cover.
49ers 27 – Seahawks 21
Niners +3.5
All low confidence plays. Count your money from the rest of the playoffs and gear up for the Super Bowl.
