Prediction
Chiefs 27, Titans 17
Moneyline (?)
The CHIEFS (-334) are big moneyline favorites at home against the red-hot Titans. Despite the Titans defeating the Chiefs earlier this season (35-32 in Week 10), Kansas City’s offense is functioning at a much higher level now. While the odds aren’t fantastic, consider betting on the Chiefs to win straight up.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Chiefs to win returns a profit of $3.
Against the Spread (?)
The CHIEFS (-7.5, +100) open this game as a touchdown favorite over the Titans in the AFC Championship Game. While the Titans have certainly been impressive over the last month, the Chiefs have been pretty dominant as well. Kansas City has covered the spread in seven straight games as well as five-straight at home. If Kansas City can jump out to any sort of lead, Tennessee could have trouble keeping up. I like the Chiefs to win by double-digits Sunday as they move on to Super Bowl LIV.
Over/Under (?)
The total for the AFC Championship Game is set at 51.5 points, which feels far too high considering how Tennesee wants to play this game. The Titans are going to do everything in their power to shorten the game, which could limit the scoring opportunities for both teams. While betting the Under in a game featuring reigning MVP QB Patrick Mahomes is always dangerous, take the UNDER 51.5 (+105) in this contest.
