Commanders @ Eagles Pick: Washington To Keep It Close
Washington and Philadelphia will face off for the NFC Championship on Sunday after the Eagles defeated Los Angeles and the Commanders shocked Detroit last week.
Philadelphia might be favourites with betting apps, but they lost to Washington earlier in the season.
They played most of that game without Jalen Hurts as Jayden Daniels inspired another fourth-quarter comeback to secure the 36-33 victory.
An upset is possible here. Philadelphia’s ground game has been dominant, but can they rush for over 200 yards again against Washington?
Even that may not guarantee a win. Washington must step up offensively and Hurts’ health remains a question.
With uncertainty on both sides, The Panel believe Washington will keep it close and could cause a surprise.
The Panel Pick 1: Commanders +6.5 Points - 20/23 With Betway
Bills @ Chiefs Prediction: Bills To Win When It Matters
Last week, both teams found ways to survive. Buffalo caused three turnovers and stopped a two-point conversion to defeat Baltimore.
Meanwhile, Kansas City beat a mis-firing Houston team 23-14.
Back in Week 11, Buffalo beat Kansas City 30-21 to end their unbeaten record.
The Bills held the Chiefs to 259 yards of offense in a game where their defense forced Mahomes to make mistakes.
Buffalo will also have to run the football and often. Controlling the ball for more than 34 minutes was crucial in that win.
The Bills are more than used to a hostile environment but this may be the time for them to beat the Chiefs, who are second favourites for Super Bowl LIX on NFL betting sites, when it matters.
Our second Panel pick for Sunday is Buffalo to win on the road for another underdog victory.
