Taking the CHIEFS. Gotta say this is a tough one as we have had Tennessee plenty of times this season. Cashed them vs Patriots in Round 1, lost with Ravens in Round 2. Now, the AFC Championship. 3 straight playoff road games. 4 straight road games overall. We have seen Henry be a beast. We have seen trick plays. We have seen defense. I like their HC. Think the defense is a bend don't break unit. But KC sees the door ajar. They lost here to New England last year. Off an epic comeback - it's one for the record books. Records were set. They look pretty focused. They didn't get away from what they did all year when down 24-0. The Ravens folded up like a tent. KC also with revenge from a Week 10 35-32 loss at Tennessee. They led 29-20 going into the 4th quarter. 29-27, 32-27 and then 35-32 as Tannehill completed a 23 yard pass with 23 seconds left to pull out the win. That was Mahomes first game back from injury. Titans a different team with Tannehill under center and what could have been if he played the entire season. I am not going to knock his 2 playoff games this year with 88 and 72 yards passing - Henry for 195 and 182 show what kind of team this is. That being said - I think KC is in the zone. They let it slip away last year. Heck- Go back to January of 2018 and Mariotta was beating Alex Smith here 22-21 after KC led 21-0 at half! Those 2 teams are eons ago. They were a 3pt home fave last year over the Patriots. Down 14-0 at half, 17-7 entering the 4th. Do you remember this game? Under betters haven't forgotten. A 21-17 lead at the 7 minute mark. Down 24-21 with 3 + to play. Up 28-24 with 2 minutes left. Down 31-28 with 30 seconds left. Tied - OT - Brady Magic 36-31. They have battled back when needed. Twice in the playoffs. They have faced the adversity. I am not saying the Titans aren't a great story. Holy Cow Tannehill coming back to Miami to be the starting QB in a Super Bowl is Kurt Warner story-book time. Maybe a slight, albeit by the tiniest margin, an edge at HC. But this Tennessee team is really cooking. I just think in the end - what KC has been through in their last playoff games adds a big edge to them. Titans with the house money, but with that you don't get a lot of urgency. The World wanted Chiefs / Saints last year. KC holds up their end of the deal here. 5* Best Bet KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Taking the PACKERS. I had GB way back in November when San Fran totally ran them right out of the building on Sunday Night. I couldn't even get the over as the cheese melted so fast that Rodgers took to the bench. I get SF is cruising. Making it look easy over Minny last week dominating the clock with their run game with Jimmy G completing just 11 passes. But here comes an MVP in his own right. A guy with a monster chip on his shoulder over his last game in this stadium. Also - he is exercising the demons of his old coach. Make no mistake about it - Rodgers is the one calling the shots here. He will gladly gamble and take shots. And as we saw last week, won't be shy about handing the ball off when need be. GB can get pressure on the QB themselves. This might like simple. But I just have to take Rodgers here getting this amount of points. Especially off an embarrassing game. Rodgers had 26 TDs and just 4 INTs this year. Aaron Jones rushed in for 16 TDs. Say we take 6 of those away and the conversation about Rodgers changes to oh, 32-34 TDs, just 4 INTs .. over 4000 yards. So efficient. Putting my faith in a HOF QB to keep us in the battle. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS
