NFL Spread Picks for the AFC and NFC Championship Games (Trust the Underdogs?)

The NFC and AFC Championship Games both feature the No. 1 and No. 3 seeds facing off, but the NFC title game has a much wider spread than the AFC game.

The San Francisco 49ers find themselves as seven-point favorites against the Detroit Lions while the Baltimore Ravens are just 3.5-point favorites against the Kansas City Chiefs.

I have a spread pick for both games, and this is a bounce-back week after a tough showing in the divisional round.

  • Wild Card Weekend Record: 1-3
  • Season Record: 143-135-4
