It’s championship weekend and you can bet (pun intended) that Chicago columnist Jon Greenberg and Browns beat writer Zac Jackson have some thoughts on Commanders–Eagles and Bills–Chiefs.
GREENBERG (2-3-1 last week, 74-61-1): I don’t know about you, but with about five minutes to go in the national championship game, I really thought we were going to be able to hit that under. And then Riley Leonard pulled a Keyser Soze and threw a perfect ball downfield for a touchdown. My wife got a good laugh out of my fleeting optimism. Ah well, that’s how it goes.
I did go 2-1-1 in the NFL playoffs, a nice bounce-back week. (Fun fact: I had slightly different lines when I bet the game, so, in reality, I pushed the Chiefs and won the Eagles instead of the other way around.)
Now we’re down to two games. How are you leaning?
JACKSON (4-3, 65-70): Every number matters, which is something you started to learn in second grade back in Steubenville. Be better, Jon!
You’ve still been really good. I’ve been more down than up, but we’re here for the rush, aren’t we? Chiefs-Bills is undoubtedly going to the fourth quarter and will provide us the rush. Can I really be against Patrick Mahomes in this spot? I know you’re sticking with KC, but I think I like Buffalo +2, especially…
