Top Championship Round NFL predictions
One of the Championship Round NFL score projections from Hartstein, who is 78-55-2 (+1664) over his last 135 NFL ATS picks, is backing the Ravens to beat the defending champions 27-20 at home.
The Ravens feature on the league’s most dynamic offenses, led by quarterback Lamar Jackson. Baltimore enters Sunday’s showdown having scored 33 or more points in three of its last four outings. In last week’s win, Jackson completed 16 of 22 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns. He also recorded 11 carries for 100 yards and two scores.
“The Chiefs just allowed 182 rushing yards to Buffalo, and they’re liable to give up 200-plus to Lamar Jackson, Justice Hill and company,” Hartstein told SportsLine. “Patrick Mahomes will find it tougher going against a Ravens defense that just held Houston without an offensive TD.”
In the NFC Championship Game, SportsLine’s Eric Cohen is expecting to see a comfortable 38-17 victory for the San Francisco 49ers over the Detroit Lions at home.
The 49ers have dominated the series against Detroit in recent years, winning 11 of the last 12 meetings against the Lions. San Francisco has also won 10 consecutive games against Detroit at home. The Lions, meanwhile, have lost five of their last seven games against an opponent from the NFC West.
“While it has been an incredible run for the Lions, I’d be mildly surprised if they cover the spread,” Cohen said. NFL Championship Round picks, score projections
