Philly and KC All Ways, All Day On Championship Sunday
Another .500 weekend last weekend going 2-2. Bringing the season to 59-35-4. I like my Super Bowl picks today, straight up, ats, and parlayed.

I love the Brock Purdy story as much as the next guy, but rookie QBs don’t go into Philly in the NFC Championship and push around one of the best defenses in football. Dallas made Purdy extremely uncomfortable last week and I think Nick Sirianni does the same with his pass rush this afternoon. (Especially up the middle).
They are the best in the league (70 sacks, and 4 guys with 10+). They've allowed 200 net passing yards just once in the last seven games.
Collapsed pockets will create chaos for Purdy and co, and I think the birds hop on a few turnovers as a result, in what's sure to be a raucous Lincoln Financial Stadium.
Lay the points.
THE PLAY = Philadelphia -2
49ers 17
Eagles 34
Cincinnati Bengals 14-4, 13-5 ATS at Kansas City Chiefs 15-3, 7-11 ATS -2 (47.5)
What a crazy line this has been this week. It opened up with KC as a dog at home, catching a point and half, YET the moneyline favorite. It has since fluctuated to the point you could have either team at -2.5 depending on when you got your bet in this week. All due to the uncertainty of Patrick Mahomes and his ankle.
I really liked Cincy coming into this game until they and their entire fanbase started chirping all week.
Did they forget they still have to go into Arrowhead and play this game?
Yes, they lost a nailbiter last year at home, but home teams have still won 14 of the past 18 conference title games.
Don't forget how AWFUL Burrow and the Bengals' offense looked a couple of weeks ago vs. Baltimore. Yah, their shoddy offensive line looked capable last week in Buffalo, but that was more due to Sean McDermott dropping the ball than anything.
I think Chris Jones and Frank Clark make Burrow's day miserable today and the Chiefs handle this one fairly easily.
THE PLAY = Chiefs -2
Bengals 21
Chiefs 28
