BettingPros Podcast

Joining us to break down the lines for the Championship Round is Iain MacMillan (@IainMacOS), a writer at OddsShark.com. We begin by recapping the Divisional Round, including the impressive performances by the 49ers (2:17) and Titans (8:21), a wild comeback by the Chiefs (15:32), and another ugly victory by the Packers (20:50). We then shift our attention to next week where we try to determine whether Patrick Mahomes or Derrick Henry is more unstoppable (25:04), and whether or not the Packers can compete with the 49ers after looking so bad against them in the regular season (30:53).
