But even with 285 yards on the ground, Philly barely snuck by with a 28-22 win \u2014 needing a red zone stop in the final minute to prevent disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington\u2019s defence might get run over, too. But Jayden Daniels and Co. have what it takes to punch back. The Commanders have three upset victories during their seven-game win streak, and both regular season matchups between these teams were decided by one score.<br><strong>Pick:<\/strong> Commanders +6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Perri says:<\/strong> Washington blew out the NFC&#8217;s top-seeded Detroit Lions on the road while Philadelphia eked by the Los Angeles Rams in favourable weather conditions. I&#8217;ll happily bank six points with the Commanders, who have covered this number in six straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniels has been unstoppable over his last six full games, accounting for 18 touchdowns with just three turnovers (side note, the rookie hasn&#8217;t lost a fumble all season long). Jalen Hurts&#8217; mobility will seemingly be limited with a knee injury, which should make Philly&#8217;s offence more one-dimensional. I like Washington to win outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pick:<\/strong> Commanders +6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AFC championship picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bills vs. Chiefs (Sunday, Jan. 26: 6:30 p.m.)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:107150\">Embed: #107150<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NorthStar Bets line:<\/strong> Kansas City -2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Horrobin says:<\/strong> Picking the Chiefs hasn\u2019t been this tough to justify in years, as they hold an 8-10 ATS record and have failed to exceed 31 points on offence in any game this year (Buffalo, meanwhile, <em>averages<\/em> 30.7 points\/game). But if you\u2019re willing to bet against Patrick Mahomes at Arrowhead, you\u2019re bolder than me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KC is 9-0 at home this year, covering or pushing this spread in eight of those games. Mahomes\u2019 Chiefs are also 3-0 in the postseason against Josh Allen\u2019s Bills. Buffalo went 5-4 on the road this year, failing to cover this number in each of those losses.<br><strong>Pick:<\/strong> Chiefs -2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Perri says:<\/strong> Tony Romo was beside himself at how little Allen threw the ball in Buffalo&#8217;s win over the Baltimore Ravens last week. It ended up working out, just barely. I can&#8217;t see that game plan being successful again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Spagnuolo&#8217;s defence can stop the run and Buffalo&#8217;s largely unproven receiving corps is playing in a hostile environment. But this play is really about Mahomes. The alpha dog of this generation is 13-2 at Arrowhead in the playoffs and 3-0 against the Bills. How can I bet against that? <br><strong>Pick:<\/strong> Chiefs -2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Regular season ATS records:<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Horrobin<\/strong>: 120-132-7 | <strong>Perri: <\/strong>116-136-7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"thestar\">Looking to get started? <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNzQxMyZsPTEzNTI3NDExJnA9MjMyNDM%3D\">Sign up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most epic Sundays of the NFL season is here, with the AFC and NFC conference championship games due up.
