Contrarian Corner: AFC Championship Game Best Bet (How to Bet the Spread)

It’s the NFL’s version of the Final Four. Championship Weekend has arrived, and in my mind, both games are difficult to handicap.

For the NFC, it is even more difficult to call as the status of San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel will likely be unknown until close to kickoff.

Our own Iain MacMillan pointed out that the 49ers are just 7-10 against the spread (ATS) without Samuel. As a result of the uncertainty, I’m sitting out this game.

The focus this week is all on the AFC. Which side am I going to land on?
