 Welcome to the Fandall hurry up here in the sports grid studios. I'm Ariel Epstein joined now by sports region self Gabe Marenzi gave How excited are you for the weekend? I'm very excited. I'm ready to rock and one of the things I'm most excited about is the first AFC conference championship game since 2010 it hasn't involved the New England Patriots fresh blood fresh blood It's all about the nines. I hear chief's last Super Bowl appearance 1969 which happened to be Super Bowl one against the Green Bay Packers and the Tennessee Titans haven't made the Super Bowl since 1999 let's get to it that puts us in a place We haven't all really been in before and that's betting on four of these teams to make it to the Super Bowl Gabe with the first game the Tennessee Titans up against the Kansas City chiefs The chiefs are seven and a half point favorites in Arrowhead. Who are you going within this game? Well, you know, this is a rematch similar to the NFC conference said championship game something interesting that I discovered In my research this week as far as rematches. I was wondering. All right. We got rematches. What does it mean? I don't know how do the teams do against each other the second time around in a conference championship game setting It's actually happened seven times in like the last five years or so and the team that won the first game Is six and one straight up in the second game So not very much has changed and if you're wondering who won the first time that the Kansas City chief said the Tennessee Titans played It was the Tennessee Titans The Titans trying to become the first team since 2012 at a Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl as a wild card and pretty crazy There's a lot of crazy stats and stuff that's been thrown out this week But if the Titans are able to win this week They'd be the first team in NFL history to win four straight road games teams have won four straight road games before obviously But never four weeks in a row on the road They play their final regular season game on the road as well So they're trying to accomplish something that's never been done before listen The Titans weren't intimidated going into Foxboro. We told you the Titans were gonna cover the number What did I say last week? I said well the Tennessee Titans weren't scared of going into Foxboro to play Tom Brady They're not going to be scared of going into Baltimore to play a Lamar Jackson and what happened they won and in fact We're actually eight and oh Against the spread in the NFL playoffs with our sides. I don't want to talk about the totals. All right But let's we're all about the positivity here but we've been crushing the sides and we've been riding the Tennessee Titans and I don't really see a reason to jump off right now Okay, now let's get into this a little bit You're gonna hear a lot of people talking about how well if the Tennessee Titans fall behind early They're gonna be in trouble wrong They fell behind 10 nothing the first time that they play they still want a football game 3532 if you're the Kansas City Chiefs Yeah, I think you're a little bit concerned You already play the Tennessee Titans this year and how about this guys and in fact the Titans and Chiefs play each other often In the last five years they have played four times the Tennessee Titans have won Four times Andy Reed is 0-4 straight up against the Tennessee Titans as head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs So you're gonna hear a lot of people talking about if the Chiefs fall behind Or if the Chiefs get ahead and the Titans fall behind about how they're gonna be in trouble They came back the first time they were down 10 nothing it didn't matter But if you're the Chiefs, I'd be worried about the fact that the first time that First time you play the Titans my home's through for like 466 yards Tyreek Hill lit it up had like a hundred and seventy-seven yards or something Hell Damien Williams had like seventy-seven yards on the ground and you still lost the football game Honey Badger was asked what it's like tackling Derek Henry he said he thought he got his job broken I saw a funny video of players that have played against Derek Henry in high school And they were saying what it was they were calling what it was like trying to tackle him And I say the same thing NFL players say like running into a rock Like trying to tackle a horse We could go on Henry's the only guy ever to rush for 180 more yards in three consecutive weeks And oh, yeah, the Kansas City Chiefs give up a buck 29 on the ground a lot of people and a lot of smart guys that I Respect the hell out of think this is gonna be a lower scoring game. I don't see it I just I just don't see it on you know They played earlier this year and it wasn't how long ago was in week 10. They put up a 67 combined points Have you watched the Kansas City Chief offense play? They're gonna put up points. Alright, Tennessee's defense is good But they're not gonna totally shut down my homes in Kansas City Kansas City got screwed over last year should have went to the Super Bowl a couple of bad calls and They didn't so I'm not saying that Tennessee's gonna win this game outright, but I do think the point spread is too high Here's something else that's interesting. I ask you will Derek Henry rush for a hundred yards I think he's going to about this teams that rush for a hundred yards in Conference championship games 313 and 1 against the spread very impressive and I think Henry is gonna get to a hundred Ryan Tannill really hasn't asked You know to do very much in the postseason so far the fact he's only completed 15 passes But the Titans are still 9 and 3 to the over with him under center The Kent City Chief offense is a freaking juggernaut. I'll be on the over of this football game I hope and I think we're gonna have a classic guys I think we're gonna have sort of a rematch of what we saw earlier this year a back-and-forth affair in which both team lands some punches And when it's all said and done The winning margin will be less than seven and a half points. Give me the Tennessee Titans plus the points and The over a little bonus proper here for you and you know in the next game I've got some more obscure props this one. I'm captain obvious. Okay We're going with Derek Henry the rushing prop was a hundred and eight and a half yards earlier in the week It's been bet up to a hundred and ten and a half yards seems like a lot But as we stated it isn't all right, they're gonna give him the rock And it's like trying to tackle a rock as we've heard players say Derek Henry's gone over this number In seven of his last eight games Now the guys on a roll. He's gonna get the football Kent City can't stop the run We're gonna play Derek Henry over a hundred and ten and a half power rushing yards as well Keep moving on to the NFC championship game You have the Green Bay Packers at the San Francisco 49ers with kickoff at 640 p.m. Eastern time Jimmy Garoppolo going for his first ever Super Bowl appearance Whereas the quarterback of the Packers Aaron Rodgers has been here before Aaron Rodgers and his Packers seven and a half point road favorites as they go back to where Aaron Rodgers is from in California, where are you going with this one? Yeah, you know Aaron Rodgers that returns home and it hasn't always been pretty for him If you add it all up Aaron Rodgers is played against the San Francisco 49ers nine times in his career He's just four and five straight up oh and two in the playoffs and just off the top of my head Earlier this week. I was recalling when Colin Kaepernick went into a freezing Lambo and beat the Green Bay Packers Actually to go to the Super Bowl. So we've been down this road before We've also been down this road before in which this is a rematch. We've talked about this in the last five years We've had seven games at the rematches the team that won the previous game is six in one A lot of people think San Francisco is gonna do the same thing that they did to Green Bay in week 12 And it was a 38-7 win That was one of the worst performances of the year for the Green Bay Packers and for whatever reason that week and there I believe was the next week. They played the Chargers like California did not work out. Well It was not California dreaming. It was a nightmare for the Green Bay Packers But that was just a little blip Green Bay are playing the best football of the season right now Listen San Francisco or a dangerous football team, you know the respect that I have for Kyle Shanahan And there's a lot of bad blood in this football game Aaron Rodgers still holds a big grudge man And you know Aaron Rodgers the guy's vindictive. All right, I mean it holds a grudge against everybody He still holds a grudge going back 15 years to 2005. He grew up wanted to be a San Francisco 49er So did So did Tom Brady actually the Niners do a good job of pissing off Hall of Fame quarterbacks by not drafting them and Motivating them to have great careers The Niners took Alex Smith instead so Aaron Rodgers got a chip on his shoulder some's not being talked about Davante Adams is actually Literally from there like Aaron Rodgers from the area But Davante Adams from Palo Alto played his college ball in the area too at Fresno State So we got a homecoming for him He was held in check the first time they played like everybody was Rodgers had the worst game of his like life Basically in that football game. This one's gonna be different. This one's gonna be tight The Green Bay Packers are a good football team people are gushing right now about the San Francisco 49ers and rightfully so But let's not forget. This is a Green Bay Packer team that has managed to be on the winning ledger 14 times already this year Aaron Rodgers Showed last week that he can still throw the football when he has to Davante Adams will have a chip on his shoulder after getting shut down by Sherman in the first matchup Jimmy Garoppolo very very good and Kyle Shanahan puts them in great situations and positions to succeed But if you get pressure on them you can force a turnover or two He will force a football Green Bay did a great job harassing Russell Wilson last week They actually sacked them five times So if you sack Russell Wilson five times that means you probably out of money pressure about 35 times because Russell Wilson is that freaking Hard to bring down so the Packers the Friends of Front has done a nice job Packers secondary is gonna have to play better than they have this is you know if there's a weakness here and Shanahan is great at exploiting weaknesses and Speaking of the bad blood Shanahan and Mike Patton used to be together in Cleveland The offensive coordinator or a Mike Patton at a Packers used to be the Browns head coach Shanahan was the offensive coordinator So they didn't like each other and Shanahan actually quit and basically snitched on Patton Wrote it like a report up when he left said this is why your team sucks and basically threw everyone under the bus You know Mike Shanahan wasn't very popular Amongst his peers and I don't think Kyle Shanahan is either but you know what it's not a popularity contest They're trying to win a Super Bowl Shanahan is a great great great play caller. I was on the Niners last week. They rolled through the Vikings This is gonna be a different test. I do believe and normally I don't like betting on an underdog If I don't think they're gonna win the football game But I do think San Francisco are going to win this football game But I think Green Bay are gonna cover to me this game is like 26 23 27 24 2421 I got it as a 3-point game 4-point game 5-point game Hey, if it's a 6-point game if it's a 7-point game, I still cover the number. I'm gonna go With Aaron Rodgers right here. I think the guy could have one big run left in him You know, am I gonna sprinkle on the money line? Maybe a little sprinkle on Tennessee and Green Bay in the money lines here But I gotta look at the points in this contest. I do have a couple of cool props here though All right, Jimmy Garoppolo Jimmy Garoppolo Quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers passing attempts prop over under 31 and a half attempts in the football game It's too many. All right was 19 passes last week He threw 20 passes in the week 12 win against the Green Bay Packers. If you look at Jimmy Garoppolo It's actually been seven straight football games that he has attempted 31 and a half or less passes If San Francisco needs to throw that much then Green Bay is gonna win the game outright And I don't think Green Bay's winning this game outright So give me Jimmy Garoppolo under 31 and a half passing attempts and let's wrap it up with Kendrick born Nobody talks about the born conspiracy But I hit the prop last week over 19 and a half yards It's the same thing this week last week was 18 and a half 17 and a half 19 and a half Whatever 19 and a half the guy averaged over 11 yards of catch and only it takes a couple of catches San Francisco have so many weapons Green Bay is gonna be worried about others and Kendrick born just sort of finds these seams And they go to him early as well He's gone over 19 and a half receiving yards and six of the San Francisco 49ers last eight games So give me the Green Bay Packers plus the points give me Jimmy Garoppolo Jimmy G under 31 and a half pass attempts and Kendrick born conspiracy over 19 and a half yards receiving enjoy the games made of winners be yours. I Like both your underdog picks right there Gabe I'm going underdog as well with the seven and a half before we kick off on Sunday for everyone here at sports grid We've got you covered on the AFC and NFC championships games coming up this weekend for now I'm Ariel. I've seen enjoy the playoffs everybody
