2020 NFL DIVISIONAL (NFC / AFC) CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES


AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
SUNDAY 19th JAN 20:05

TENNESSEE TITANS 24 @ 35 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas


The AFC Championship game takes place first this Sunday and will NOT feature the New England Patriots for the first time in nine seasons. Instead we will see Tennessee Titans [9-7] head to play Kansas City Chiefs [12-4] for the right to represent the AFC in Superbowl LIV. Ryan Tannahill vs Patrick Mahomes, Derrick Henry vs Travis Kelce, Mike Vrabel vs Andy Reid should be a cracker to get us underway. Tennessee have been in great form beating both the reigning champions New England and then seeing off the bookies fancy Baltimore, they have another big test this time with the high scoring Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes in the way, even going 24 points behind couldn't stop them and the Chiefs possess plenty of weapons. That's not to say Tennessee are not without a shout themselves but the percentage call is a Chiefs win in a high scoring game.

Selected Bets
Kansas City Chiefs to win @5/6 WON [-7.5pt handicap]
Over 24 points half time @10/11  WON
Over 52 points total @10/11  WON


NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 
SUNDAY 19th JAN 23:40

GREEN BAY PACKERS 20 @ 37 SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara

The second Championship game will take place at the home of San Francisco 49ers (Levi's Stadium) who are headed to the NFC Championship game for the first time in seven years after a dominating 27-10 win over the Vikings. This has the best of the NFC paired up again and will mark the eighth time in the past 25 years that Green Bay [13-3] and San Francisco [13-3] have met in the playoffs, with the Packers currently holding a 4-3 edge. Green Bay have managed to get here with some tight games under Aaron Rodgers and could be a case of who's defence comes out on top tonight. The Packers advanced to the NFC title game thanks to a 28-23 win over the Seahawks. Green Bay will be playing in its fourth NFC Championship game with Aaron Rodgers (2010, 2014, 2016), who took over the Packers starting quarterback job in 2008. These two sides have met already this season when the 49ers were convincing winners 37-8. 
Selected Bets
San Francisco to win @5/6 WON [-7.5pt handicap]. 
Under 21 points half time @10/11 
Under 45 points total @10/11 

Wins for the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers sends them into Superbowl LIV on February 2nd.

We shall update the final scores later over the weekend and then look forward to the Superbowl itself in a couple of weeks time, that will be LIVE on BBC TV here in the UK which is great.
