Predictions For NFL Championship Sunday: Bet on 49ers being 'Good as Gould'; Chiefs, Mahomes walking through the Bengals

What's an NFL Championship Sunday without making any wild predictions, especially from someone who takes great pleasure in analyzing betting information, to help you make smart and educated bets? 

Besides, short of Travis Kelce stealing Joe Burrow's helmet before kickoff and Nick Bosa getting lost on his way to Levi's Stadium, just about anything is possible on NFL 2023 Championship Sunday.

(You might want to check with your favorite sportsbook for updated lines, but the last time I refreshed the Chiefs (-1) and Eagles (-2.5) were favs to meet in Arizona on Feb. 12th.) 

Here are my (serious) predictions with a betting slant, of course. Please bet responsibly and within reason. :  

🏈 'Good as Gould': 49ers kicker Robbie Gould, who has never missed a playoff kick in 67 tries, will nail a game-winning FG as time runs out in regulation. So, go find yourself a Robbie Gould prop for Championship Sunday. After, you bet he never pays for another drink in the Bay Area. 

🏈 'Hot for Arizona': Kansas City All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce is going to torch the Bengals all day. Kelce, who led all tight ends in catches (110), receiving yards (1,338) and touchdowns (12) this season, is a safe bet to catch a lot of passes on Sunday. And it doesn't matter, if its Patrick Mahomes or Chad Henne throwing Kelce the football. Please, take the over on Travis Kelce receptions on Championship Sunday. 

🏈 Super Running Game: The 49ers were a ridiculous 14-1 SU and 12-3 ATS when they outrushed their opponents this season. The Eagles were 10-0 SU when they outrushed their opponents this season. All told, the 49ers and Eagles did a nice job of riding their respective offensive lines, while hiding their quarterbacks (Jalen Hurts, Brock Purdy). Only, I'm trusting the better coach in this spot (Kyle Shanahan) to get it done again and help the 49ers plan for Arizona. So, look for Christian McCaffrey to go off.

🏈 Chiefs 34, Bengals 20: Stop praying for Patrick Mahomes. I'm betting the Chiefs will be just fine vs. the Bengals, with or without their star quarterback on Championship Sunday.

🏈 49ers 23, Eagles 20: Bet on Robbie Gould wrapping up a physical NFC title game with a FG to send the 49ers to the Super Bowl, and get Kyle Shanahan one step closer to forever redemption. 

Championship Sunday Betting Preview: Will Patrick Mahomes' injury really be a factor vs. the Bengals?

Championship Sunday is here and it has  enough storylines to make NFL bettors want to wrap their ankles in cold ice and search for Brock Purdy on their iPads, before praying for Patrick Mahomes if you have a big bet on the Chiefs to win it all . 

That's after you store the number '13' in the back of your heads, and study the history of the Miami Dolphins for the next 72 hours, because somehow the Dolphins are going to work their way into how this year's Super Bowl is going to play out ..

Seriously, there are plenty of legit questions you should be pondering about Championship Sunday, only none of them should begin with Patrick Mahomes' high ankle sprain. That's just cold ice for your favorite ESPN talking head to throw all over an educated opinion.

Instead, you should be reminding yourself that the Bengals led the Bills by a score of 14-0 after the first quarter last Sunday. After, making sure you know the 49ers have won 12 straight games, including seven of those 12 games with Brock Purdy as their starting QB.

Now, go look up Pete Rose and Chad Henne.. but not necessarily in that order. 

Happy Championship Sunday, everyone..

Playoffs: 7-1

Regular Season: 31-14-1

Overall: 38-15-1 

49ers @ Eagles (-2.5, Total: 46): For all about the high ankle sprain heard around the world, little has been said about Jalen Hurts' sprained shoulder, including last week as the Eagles toyed with the Giants. 

But 154 passing yards from Hurts, who may or may not be playing with a serious injury, won't get it done against a 49ers defense with more than enough depth to pressure Hurts and be able to run with Philly's speedy receivers all day. Hurts, who has had the luxury of playing from in front for much of the season, could be in for a rough day, if the Eagles offensive line gives in even for a sec .

I also suspect Kyle Shanahan finds a way to hide Brock Purdy as much as possible by putting the ball in the hands of Christian McCaffrey and Eli Mitchell, if completely healthy. San Francisco has been the better team for much of the season, not to mention has played a slightly tougher schedule as of late. Despite traveling across the country to play the NFC's No. 1 seed in an early game, the 49ers are just a slight road 'dog in this spot. Something smells really bad, so give me the points with the road underdogs, por favor.

Bengals (-1, Total: 47) @ Chiefs : So, the Bengals, who have won three straight games against the Chiefs, are suddenly 'America's Team' because they beat a fraudulent and overvalued Bills team on the road .. a week after surviving against the harmless Ravens.

I'm not sure, I'm buying all the hype behind the Bengals, who jumped out as slight road favs here because of the uncertainty surrounding Patrick Mahomes' high ankle sprain. 

Only I'm betting Mahomes plays and Kansas City, home 'dogs for only the second time all season, will eventually wear down the Bengals with an effective running game and plenty of Travis Kelce. And if Mahomes can't go the whole way, I trust Chad Henne to do just enough to help send the Bengals packing for the hills. (Looking to connect or have a question/feedback? It would be great to hear from you on here.)

3 For NFL Bettors: Tips To Help Improve Your NFL Betting Strategy In Time For Championship Sunday

The arrival of (NFL) Championship Sunday means pro football bettors are one step closer to finding out what two teams will be packing up for the Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona. 

With only three games to bet on, including Sunday's conference title games and the Super Bowl, it also means this season's betting opportunities for NFL bettors are nearing the end. That, however doesn't mean it's too late to learn how to stay ahead of the game, while  improving your overall NFL betting strategy. 

Here are 3 NFL betting strategy tips you can start using before Championship Sunday. 

(Note: While I appreciate NFL stats and trends, I'm a strong believer in using my intuition and acumen when it comes to making NFL bets. 

So, it's all in my stomach and mind for me, when deciding to bet on what NFL team is going to win the big game. 

I've watched, covered and attended enough NFL games to know NFL stats and trends can be very misleading.)

1.) Read: You don't need to know Patrick Mahomes shoe size 😉, but reading up on Championship Sunday, or on any other NFL Sunday, is important if you're a pro football bettor, no matter your betting level, and expect to cash in on most of your bets 💰.  

So, put your best Google 🔎 skills to use, while pouring over NFL player profiles, team schedules and team rosters on your way to discovering a little more about the Chiefs backup QB. It will all help you stay ahead of the game, while learning that Chad Henne is not only really old, but once played for the Miami Dolphins, a team you should look up before betting on this year's Super Bowl. 

Especially, if you appreciate your wallet and Super Bowl history, which is filled with  average Joes ending up in Disney World. 😉 

2.) Listen: Being all ears around the dinner table as another lame fishing trip is being planned is not going to help you cash your next NFL bet, or find out what Brock Purdy had for breakfast this morning  🍳 🍣. But using your given 👂👂skills to make sense of every time your favorite ESPN Radio host references how many games in a row the 49ers have won since America's favorite QB took over for Jimmy G., will definitely help you, when making bets on NFL games. 

Yes, taking mental notes and applying your analytical skills to what you hear and feel will help your NFL betting strategy, and lead to winning more of your NFL game bets

Hint: Instead of sweating out why the 49ers are scheduled to play in the early game on Championship Sunday, despite having to travel from San Francisco to Philadelphia and play on a short week (kind of), you might want to search 'undefeated' and '12'.

3.) Study: Just like you would for an exam, if you really want to get out of the University of Miami before your 35th birthday and you enrolled at the university in Coral Gables in 2018, becoming a solid NFL bettor requires being prepared. Therefore, you should make plenty of time to study the material because every piece of content matters. Especially, if it adds value to the NFL bet you're thinking about making. 

Don't know who the Bengals backup QB is? Who is the NFL coach partly responsible for blowing a big lead a few years ago in the Super Bowl? What is Joe Burrow's favorite 🍺 and cigar? Just kidding! 

But putting it all together in your mind and applying it before making a bet on an NFL game is quite like acing a big test.

Especially, if you're prepared !!
