Conference Titles Set | Notre Dame-Ohio State Free Picks

The Conference Championship in the NFL Playoffs are set and we have some familiar teams. The Bills and Chiefs will play for the AFC title, while the Eagles will host the upstart Commanders. We went 2-0-1 with our Best Bets during the Divisional Round and nailed all three of our Teasers. Bobby had a Best Bet winner on the Bills to improve his run to 32-15 (68%). Jay had a Push with the Rams and is on a 24-15-3 (62%) run entering Championship Weekend. We will have our free picks and Best Bets later this week.

We now turn our attention to the College Football Championship game featuring Ohio State vs. Notre Dame. It’s been a solid postseason run for both Jay and Bobby, who are a combined 22-11-3 (67%) this Bowl season. You can find our picks for tonight’s final game in today’s newsletter.

Check out our daily YouTube videos to get Jay Cooper and Bobby Babowski’s Best Bets of the day including recaps of last night’s picks.

Jay continued his strong run in College Basketball with another winner on Sunday with Rice. Jay enters the day on a 16-7 (70%) run and has a play in today’s Eastern Washington vs. Montana State game. We have a total of 3 Best Bets in today’s newsletter.
