Action Network NFL analyst C Jackson Cowart is in his first season with The Post’s Bettor’s Guide. Here are his best bets for the conference championship round.
Philadelphia Eagles-San Francisco 49ers: Under 46.5
If I had to choose one or the other here, it would be Philadelphia. But the safer play here is his unders between the two teams led by an elite defense. The 49ers allowed him the fewest yards in the NFL in the regular season (300.6 yards per game), and the Eagles allowed his second-lowest 301.5 ypg.

The 49ers offense finally looked deadly against the best defense Brock Purdy has ever seen, the Cowboys. The Eagles, on the other hand, could run into trouble against the best defense in the league.
Cincinnati Bengals (-1) Kansas City Chiefs
This is one of my favorite bets of the entire NFL season, as I think it will take a medical miracle for the Chiefs to win this weekend.
If Patrick Mahomes looked like he did in the second half against the Jaguars, it could be worse after a week of swollen ankles… defense.
Betting on the NFL?
Conversely, Joe Burrow has scored nine total touchdowns and just one turnover in three outright victories over the past two seasons with Kansas City. Expect him to make his perfect 4-0 on Sunday.
last week: 2-0. Eagles (won), 49ers (won)
Season: 22-15-1
