Seeking values in NFL conference championship betting on 'Bayou Bets'

We’re down to just two games this weekend in the NFL playoffs, so betting has become much more nuanced — and heavy, on both the NFC and AFC championships.

That’s why the crew of “Bayou Bets” spent Thursday’s episode trying to find every little value they could in both the Eagles-49ers matchup and the Bengals-Chiefs.

Hosts Zach Ewing, Jim Derry and Spencer Urquhart also chatted with Max Meyer of Caesars Sportsbook, the official odds partner of Bet.NOLA.com, who gave a report on the action and line movements for each game.

The Eagles are favored by 2½ with a line that’s been relatively stable — and has also led Jim and Spencer to declare tremendous value on the 49ers, both on the spread and the +122 money line.

The AFC spread has seen much more movement, with the Chiefs favored first before the line jumped the fence to the Bengals, only to reverse course in the past 24 hours. Spencer was still on Cincinnati, but Jim and Zach are taking Kansas City. There was also disagreement on the game’s totals, which are both between 46 and 47.

The crew will recap the games and talk early Super Bowl line live at 4 p.m. Monday.

‘Bayou Bets’ airs live at 4 p.m. every Monday and Thursday and can be watched anytime on the Bayou Bets YouTube channel.
