There are just three NFL games left this season as we head toward Championship Sunday on Jan. 28, and we're set for the conference title games:
Below are AFC Championship odds along with NFC Championship odds and previews for both matchups.
2024 NFC Championship odds, preview: San Francisco 49ers (-6.5, O/U 50.5) vs. Lions - Sunday, 6 p.m. ET
The 2024 NFC Championship odds have been posted for next Sunday's matchup at Levi's Stadium:
Despite being outplayed by Green Bay for huge portions of the game, late heroics from the 49ers’ offense gave them a 24-21 victory over the Packers at Levi’s Stadium in the Divisional Round.
Brock Purdy ended the night with 252 yards and a touchdown but as always, the star of the show was Christian McCaffrey. The all-world RB ran for 98 yards, caught seven passes for 30 more yards and tallied a pair of touchdowns in the victory. Unfortunately for the Niners, WR Deebo Samuel was injured and his status remains in doubt for next week’s NFC Championship.
Without much quality depth behind Brandon Aiyuk and the Lions likely to come after Brock Purdy early and often, having Samuel as a running and receiving threat will be key to keeping Detroit’s pass rush honest. The Lions will have pass-protection concerns of their own, considering the Niners’ talent in the front seven and the fact that Jared Goff is a different quarterback when pressured.
After not winning a playoff game for over 30 years, the Detroit Lions are back in the NFC Championship for the first time since 1991. This team is 14-5 since the start of the regular season and have five wins in its last six games dating back to Week 15.
It was a tie game at the half with Tampa Bay, but the Lions turned it on in the second half with Goff finishing with nearly 300 passing yards and two touchdowns.
San Francisco is just 3-7 ATS as a home favorite since the start of the regular season, but 7-3 against the number overall in playoff games since Kyle Shanahan took over as head coach in 2017.
Meanwhile, the Lions were 7-2 ATS on the road this past regular season, including 2-1 as a road underdog.

2024 AFC Championship odds, preview: Baltimore Ravens (-3.5, O/U 44.5) vs. Chiefs - Sunday, 3 p.m. ET
The AFC Championship odds are out for the defending Super Bowl-champion Kansas City Chiefs visiting the Baltimore Ravens:
Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes proved to be the Bills’ postseason kryptonite yet again Sunday evening, breaking Buffalo’s heart with a 27-24 victory to cement a place in the AFC title game for the sixth consecutive season.
Kansas City got it done with clutch defense and a balanced offensive attack that saw Mahomes play an unfamiliar complementary role. Whether the Chiefs can pull off the same offensive approach against the fearsome Baltimore defensive unit remains to be seen.
The Ravens' defense dominated the Texans on Saturday in a 34-10 win in the Divisional Round, punching Baltimore’s ticket to the city's first home AFC Championship game since 1971 and the first in the history of the Ravens. Baltimore limited Houston to 2.7 yards per carry and zero second-half points, holding the Texans' offense without a touchdown for the second time this season.
Baltimore could well have Mark Andrews back in the fold from his ankle injury after the star tight end managed to wrap up divisional-round prep with two full practices, a development that would represent a notable boost for an already-potent offense.
The two teams have not met since Week 2 of the 2021 regular season, when Mahomes and Lamar Jackson had a hand in three touchdowns apiece in a 36-35 home win for Baltimore.
The Ravens were 6-3 ATS as a home favorite this season and are 14-7 against the number in the postseason since John Harbaugh’s arrival in 2008. The Chiefs were 5-3-1 ATS as a road team in the 2023 campaign and boast an 11-5 mark against the number in postseason games since Mahomes assumed the starting job in 2018.
