NFL Conference Championship Sunday Bets: Patriots-Broncos, Rams-Seahawks

Only four teams remain as the 2026 NFL Playoffs march towards Conference Championship Sunday. Betting expert Chad Millman is joined by professional sports gambler Simon Hunter to discuss every game for this penultimate weekend of NFL betting action. Together the duo provide initial betting picks and predictions for the Wild Card games, covering both spreads and totals as their free SHARP OR SQUARE PRO FOOTBALL PICK 'EM CONTEST continues throughout the playoffs at https://sharporsquare.thevolume.com/

First off, Chad reports on his time at the College Football Playoff National Championship game between his Indiana Hoosiers and the Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium, as Indiana captures its first football national title in thrilling fashion behind MVP Fernando Mendoza and coach Curt Cignetti.

Moving to the NFL, today's betting coverage starts with their producer joining the show to comment on the firing of Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott and promotion of general manager Brandon Beane. 

On Sunday, gambling action starts with the AFC Championship between the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos. With quarterback Bo Nix lost to a broken ankle, Denver turns to backup Jarrett Stidham as home underdogs. He will square off with MVP candidate Drake Maye, who looks to keep the Patriots' incredible playoff run alive for coach Mike Vrabel.

On Sunday night, the NFC Championship game is a thriller between division foes. The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks face each other for a third time this season, as quarterback Matthew Stafford led the Rams past the Chicago Bears last weekend in overtime. Is Sam Darnold ready to take the Seahawks to the promised land of a west coast Super Bowl? Chad and Simon have strong opinions. #Volume
