Bookmakers Review

Bookmakers Review spoke with the lines management team at popular offshore sportsbook BookMaker.eu to see how the betting action is split for today’s NFL Conference Championships.
Washington Commanders vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders are fresh off their upset of the Detroit Lions and are playing with house money at this point.
The NFL betting odds have the Eagles priced as -6 point favorites.
”It was either the Greek Philosopher Socrates or the early 90’s Hip Hop Duo “Black Sheep” who said “Frustrating like Waiting”; well, we are getting frustrated. The Eagles opened as 6-point favorites over Washington, flirted with -5 for a minute, but has been back at -6 since Tuesday. There is a little sharp money on Philly -5, with more respected money on the under 47.”
Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Call it the Taylor Swift effect, or perhaps the idea that the Chiefs have an extra man on the field (roughing the passer?), but the public is all over Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to get past the Bills and have a chance at a threepeat this year.
“KC opened as 1-point favorites over Buff. The line went as high as -2 before settling in at -1.5, as sharp money had been drowned out by the public. Smart money came back in over the weekend shifting the line back to KC -2.”
