We’re down to four. Four NFL teams remain in the hunt for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. And after tomorrow, that field will be cut in half. For my best bet for Sunday, January 25th: NFL Predictions, we’re headed to Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, for the AFC Championship Game. Let’s get this money!
Best Bet For Sunday (January 25th): NFL Conference Championship Predictions
New England Patriots vs Denver Broncos
Start Time: 3:00 PM EST
The top two teams in the AFC (at least according to wins), the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos, hook up tomorrow at Mile High to determine who’s headed to Santa Clara for the Super Bowl. This is the furthest the Broncos have advanced in the playoffs since winning the Super Bowl in 2015, but the ride stops here.
That’s because Denver will be starting a quarterback tomorrow who hasn’t thrown a pass since 2023 – Jarrett Stidham. The career backup will be thrust into action after Bo Nix broke his ankle last week. For a so-so offense, even with Nix at the controls, this has to be a death blow.
The bookies say Nix is worth around six points on the spread, so I’ve taken that into account when handicapping this game. After crunching all the numbers, my line is New England -5, so I’m going with the Patriots to cover and punch their ticket to the big game.
Best Bet: New England -3.5 (-105)
Best Bet Overall 2026 Record: 16-8 (67%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $464.47
Return on Investment: 19%
