2020-21 NFL SEASON DIVISIONAL (NFC / AFC) CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 
Sunday 24th January 20:05

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31 @ 26 Green Bay Packers [H/T 21-10]

Lambeau Field Stadium, Green Bay

We are down to the final four teams for this year's NFL Championship. The two conference winners will battle it out for Superbowl LV in two weeks time and this year it's the NFC Conference that steps up first. This should be a cracker, the No 1 seeds Green Bay Packers, led by this years MVP candidate Aaron Rodgers, host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers led by six time Superbowl winner Tom Brady. If the Bucc's can win they would be involved in a Superbowl at their home ground, which I believe would be a first. Brady's main weapons are Mike Evans and Chris Godwin while he has a well established long relationship with Rob Gronkowski and it will be interesting to watch who he uses most. Having beaten New Orleans Saints 30-20 last week they will have to be at their best again to be victorious against Green Bay who themselves beat the LA Rams 32-18 the combination of Rodgers throwing bombs to Davante Adams and Allen Lazard helping to secure that win. 
Selected bets;
Expecting a high scoring affair with these strong offensive line ups, so 50+ points the call. 
Allen Lazard to score a TD @9/4.
Antonio Brown to score a TD @5/2.


AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 
Sunday 24th January 23:40

Buffalo Bills
 24 @ 38 Kansas City Chiefs [H/T 12-21]
Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City

The second of this season's Championship game features the AFC No1 seed and current Superbowl champions Kansas City who will host the No2 seeds Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen has been outstanding this season and we're really seeing four outstanding quarterbacks in this seasons championship pair ups, at least we really hope so as Kansas QB Patrick Mahomes was taken out of the game last weekend against the Browns in the 3rd quarter of the match suffering with concussion. So will have to wait and see what the doctors say about that and hope that he can recover, also seemed to have a foot injury too so might not be 100% which would give the Bills more than a fair chance. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said postgame that Mahomes is doing well and that he passed all the preliminary tests. Mahomes will still have to pass protocol during the week in order to be eligible for championship Sunday. The Bills did an outstanding job of stopping the Baltimore Ravens running game in their 17-3 win last weekend, with Stefon Diggs scoring again and will be a threat once more.
Selected bets;
Half time over 24 points.
Total points in match over 51.
Stefon Diggs to score a TD.

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