2023 NFL Conference Championship Parlay Picks

Well, with just two weekends left of the NFL 2022 Season where does my parlay performance stand?

I am yet to land one of my five-leg parlays.

My underdog moneyline, one over, one under selection, and a couple of spread bets are yet to succeed.

My moneyline selections are now 16-4 throughout the season. Unfortunately, my spread picks have generally been woefully short on performance!

Last week’s saw me correctly pick the Bengals to produce the upset of the Divisional games. I successfully foresaw the Jags getting within 8.5 points of the Chiefs.

However, my over went under and my under went over! And the Giants didn’t cover themselves in glory or the spread for that matter.

Not a great weekend in my parlay career.

Anyways, I now have five fresh picks for the AFC and NFC Championship games this coming weekend.

Should all five lands, according to www.parlaycalculator.com, the odds would be just under +2500.

Now for my picks.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Cincinnati Bengals Picks For Moneyline Parlay

Moneyline: Bengals (-102)

These two teams met in Week 17 in an entertaining game that saw Joe Burrow orchestrate a ten-point fourth-quarter turnaround.

The Bengals inflicted just the third defeat of the season on the Chiefs. They won 27-24. Since then Kansas City is undefeated.

I think it’s rather likely that we could see a carbon copy of this game again. After all, the other time these two teams faced off against each other in 2022 the score was also 27-24 to the Bengals!

Cincinnati achieving what they did in Buffalo rivals the Eagles’ dismantling of the Giants for the most impressive feat of the weekend.

With doubts over Patrick Mahomes’s fitness, I’m happy to bet on a negatively priced underdog with Joe Burrow under center.

Remarkably, Kansas City has only defeated Cincinnati once since 2007. The Bengals have the Chiefs’ number at the moment.

With the major injury doubt and this friendly trend of having won seven of their last eight games against KC, I’m happy to go for the Bengals to upset yet again.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Cincinnati Bengals Picks For Spread Parlay

Spread: Bengals to cover (+1) (-110)

With just two games to choose from, I have to align my spread bet with the Bengals to cover.

The Bengals have had yet another great season so far and exceeded many people’s expectations. They face the Chiefs on the road, having beaten them in Week 17. It was by their favorite scoreline, 27-24.

For the reasons cited above, I foresee a purring Bengals coming out on top this weekend in the AFC Championship game.

With the AFC West teams underperforming this year and Kansas City enjoying an easy stretch of games in the latter half of the season, I am not taking their unbeaten run very seriously.

This is certainly going to be a tough test for them. The longer that Patrick Mahomes can stay in the game, the better for all you Kansas fans and bettors.

I fear that his injury will flare up and we shall not see him ending the game. If that proves to be the case, it will be a miracle if the Bengals don’t cover the spread.

Come on Cincinnati!

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Cincinnati Bengals Picks For O/U Parlay

Over (Over 47.5 points)(-110)

If you are a trend better, you’ll be backing a 27-24 victory for the Bengals. Wouldn’t it be amazing if lightning struck for the third time in a row?!

I wonder whether this score has the most handle of possible results.

Knowing how many people choose lottery numbers which occurred the week before, it would not surprise me.

Anyways, you have to go back more than a decade until these two teams did not put up more than 50 points.

Surely they will put on another entertaining spectacle?!

Given the powerful offenses on the show and their history, this game has to be my over leg of this week’s parlay.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. San Francisco 49ers Picks For Spread Parlay

Spread: Eagles to cover (-2.5) (-115)

With Jalen Hurts not looking so hurt against the Giants and a defense restricting teams to less than 20 points per game, this feels like a safe leg for my parlay.

Yet I know that some of my BestOdds teammates will be doing the opposite given my confidence in the Eagles covering!

My track record this year on the spread legs in my parlays could only be labeled as disappointing or much worse.

However, Philly has the following in its arsenal. A very talented quarterback operating behind a hugely (in all senses of the word) powerful offensive line.

The 49ers’ front seven can certainly expect a busy afternoon. Add to this, a defense adept at snaffling opposition running games and pressuring opposition QBs and you have a well-balanced team.

What a trade Haason Reddik is proving to be. The poor Panthers must be kicking themselves thinking of what might have been had he remained in Carolina!

Brock Purdy may be on fire currently, but it is not beyond the realms of possibility that he will not be a starting quarterback next season.

Can a team in this situation really be expected to make it all the way to Super Bowl glory.

Each franchise needs a general on the sidelines and a general on the field. I don’t think the 49ers have one of each, despite his amazing winning streak.

Yes, George Kittle and CMC could turn on the stardust this weekend. But I expect Philly to smother their explosiveness.

I foresee another team leaving Pennsylvania with less than double digits in terms of points. It’s the Eagles to cover the spread easily for me.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. San Francisco 49ers Picks For O/U Parlay

Under: (Under 45.5 points)(-110)

The final leg of my typical five-leg parlay of the 2022 NFL Season. For the Super Bowl, I shall have to come up with a different format.

With the Eagles and 49ers first up this weekend, this fifth leg would be more like a second leg from a timing perspective.

Above I cited that Philly has restricted teams to less than 20 points per game so far. Well, if that isn’t respectable, wait for the 49ers’ PPG. Including the playoffs, San Francisco has given up an NFL leading 16.4 points.

There are not many times when a total is so far away from the averages of what the two teams are conceding.

We have the NFC’s highest scorers (Eagles) against the NFC’s stingiest defense (49ers).

If the weather forecast was not as mild as predicted this weekend, I would be placing an outright bet on the under. As it is, temperatures might be pushing 50 degrees this weekend.

The players will not be able to use frozen fingers as a reason for dropping the ball! I expect total yards to be on the high side, but defenses to come out on top in the red zone. I think the kickers will be busy.

It’s a shame for under bettors that Brett Maher plays for the Cowboys rather than the Eagles! If he was playing for the other team from the NFC East that is left in the playoffs, I would be all over this underbet!

Anyways, if my prediction of an easy Eagles victory by something in the region of 24-10 comes to pass, I’ll be a happy bettor. I’ll have landed two out of two legs of my parlay.

Then I’ll be eagerly cheering on for a high-scoring Bengals victory in Kansas. That would be a wonderful way to land a parlay this season, finally!

At the moment of writing this, BetRivers are the sportsbook with the BestOdds on this parlay.
