The AFC Championship Game will kick off at Arrowhead Stadium Sunday at 3:05 p.m. Eastern time between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans. Who will move on to the Super Bowl?
Here are our picks for the game in terms of the spread and point totals.
Money Line
Simply put, the Chiefs should win this game. They are the superior team. They have the superior quarterback. They play at home and the Titans are banged up. They lost in overtime the AFC title game a year ago. They have the experience.
At -358, you won’t make a ton of money but it is mostly a sure bet.
Would you bet on Ryan Tannehill or Patrick Mahomes straight up? This is easy.
Against the spread
The Chiefs are favored at home at -7.5 (+100). While the Titans have the running game to slow the game down and keep the game close, the Chiefs have the superior firepower. They are on a roll and coming off a 51-point explosion over the final three quarters of their win over the Houston Texans.
Take the Chiefs at -7.5.
Over/under
The point total is set at 51.5. I expect this game to be a blowout and don’t expect the Titans to get to 20 points. Take the UNDER.
