The totals won’t get as much attention as the Championship Round NFL spreads, but perhaps they should, especially in the 2024 NFC Championship Game. The Over is a combined 21-15-1 for the Lions and 49ers and Sunday’s game has a total of 51, nearly a touchdown greater than the over/under of 44.5 for the 2024 AFC Championship Game. Creating Championship Round NFL parlay picks will be popular for Sunday, utilizing a combination of total, straight-up and against the spread NFL picks. If including the over/under for 49ers vs. Lions is one leg of that parlay, which other NFL predictions should you pursue for a winning combination?

Top 2024 Championship Round NFL picks
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Over (44.5) in the 2024 AFC Championship Game of Chiefs vs. Ravens. Both teams rested starters in Week 18, so if you take away that outcome, each offense is peaking entering this matchup. Kansas City has scored 25-plus points in its last three games with Patrick Mahomes under center, while Baltimore has averaged a whopping 41 points over its last three with Lamar Jackson as starter. That includes the Ravens hanging 33 on San Francisco’s No. 3 scoring defense, while the Chiefs just scored 27 points on Buffalo’s No. 4 scoring defense.
One also can’t overlook the elite kicking games with these teams, with the forecast looking favorable for the special teams units. Justin Tucker has made 13 straight FG attempts, while Harrison Butker has converted 14 straight. With how exceptional the quarterbacks are and with how reliable the kickers are, there shouldn’t be many possessions that don’t end in points. The model has both defenses allowing more points in this game than what they gave up on average in the regular season, as the Over (44.5) has all of the value.
