NFL CONFERENCE FINAL PICKS: Eagles run wild while Bills finally stop the Chiefs

The lines are from Covers.com and the home teams are in CAPs.

PHILADELPHIA -6 over Washington

The Commanders feel like a team of destiny, turning around a franchise with a remarkably quick rebuild from where it was a year ago. But as nice of a story as it has been, the Eagles are just too talented. Let’s throw out the Week 16 game between these two, in which we saw Kenny Pickett under centre for Philly after Jalen Hurts was concussed. Saquon Barkley was dominant both times out against the Commies, racking up a total of 296 rushing yards, and should be able to do to go wild once again. The Eagles won their first matchup by eight at home and we should see a similar result. The time isn’t quite right, but it will be soon for Jayden Daniels and Co.

Buffalo +1.5 over KANSAS CITY

They can’t keep getting away with it, right? That’s the common refrain when it comes to the Chiefs being to repeatedly escape tight games with wins. But the one team to actually defeat the Chiefs when they played at full strength this season was the Bills. After all the talk this week about the favourable calls Patrick Mahomes and Co. have been getting this one should be called straight down the line, or even go a bit the other way. While it has been foolish to go against the Chiefs in the playoffs during their dynastic run, we can’t help but do it here. Buffalo has built a team and has the battle scars to know what it takes to topple the Chiefs and we feel confident it will happen here.

Last week: 0-3-1

This playoffs: 4-5-1
