NFL betting tips: All eyes on the Championship games

Joe Burrow has established himself as one of the top five QBs in the league and will be relying heavily on receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who racked up an incredible 266 yards and three touchdowns against the Chiefs when they met in Cincinnati earlier this month.

Chase is 7/2 to score a touchdown in a Bengals victory, while he is 4/1 to be the visitors’ first points scorer.

It finished 34-31 when the pair met earlier this month and another high-scoring game is expected at Arrowhead Stadium in NFL betting tips. It is 8/5 for a 60.5+ game once again, while you can find evens for over 6.5 touchdowns.

San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams

The LA Rams will be desperate to follow in the footsteps of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and compete for the Super Bowl trophy on home soil next month. They are 2/1 to win the Super Bowl but first they need to overcome the 49ers, who made the NFL showpiece two seasons ago.

It was the Buccaneers who the Rams beat last weekend thanks to a field goal, which helped them fend off a Tom Brady-inspired fightback from the defending champs.

They are 4/7 favourites here and their progress is largely in thanks to wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who is arguably the best player in the league in that position and could prove hard to stop alongside Odell Beckham Jr, who has been revitalised by his mid-season switch to the Rams.

Kupp is having a record-breaking campaign in terms of most receiving yards in a season and is a 5/1 chance for both the first and last touchdown of the game, while he is again 5/1 for a hat-trick.

The 49ers have been underdogs for both of their playoff games so far and won’t worry at having to stare down that tag again as the 19/20 outsiders in NFL betting tips.

They beat the Dallas Cowboys 23-17 before edging the Green Bay Packers on the road last weekend, a strong defensive display the key to their last-gasp 13-10 victory.

Jimmy Garropolo has faced plenty of critics this year and will come under the microscope against the Rams ‘galactico’ style defence, but if he shines he could throw San Francisco to their second Super Bowl in three years.

There was little to separate the sides when they met earlier in the season with the game going all the way to overtime. The 49ers managed to extend their winning run over the Rams to six then thanks to a field goal, but it would be no surprise to see another close contest.

There have been under 52 points in the last four clashes between this pair and under that number is 4/9 while barring this season’s match-up the last three have barely gone over 40 points. Under that number is 13/8 in NFL betting tips, while the 49ers to record a shock win and under 40.5 points is 19/4.
