If you're betting on the NFL conference championships, you're in the right place because this video will help you. Believe it or not, I spent over 10 hours researching these two games this week because it's my job and that's going to save you a ton of time. We've already won over $5,000 betting on the NFL playoffs this year. And in this video, we're going to break down the 10 best bets you can take advantage of this weekend. Let's begin with the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver in the NFC Championship game against the Rams this week, Jackson Smith and Jigba, because he currently has a prop in the market set at six and a half receptions. I want to look at his receptions total, but the question becomes, do we want to take the more or the less than on this? We just saw last week, the Ram secondary that has struggled at times a lot this year, played really well against the Bears. I mean, outside of that crazy Caleb Williams play at the end of the game,

0:41.6

for the most part, they played very well. However, this is a totally different test for the Rams

0:46.0

this week facing Seattle. Because JSN is unlike any receiver the Bears have. I know Luther

0:50.8

Burton has been great and at times when Healthy Roma Dunzee was good, they They're nowhere near the 2025 version of JSN who's averaging 9.6 targets per game, who led the NFL

0:59.9

with an insane 36% target share. Let's not stop there. Led the NFL with about 1,800 yards,

1:06.1

a top five finish of all time, number two in yards per outrun. You get the gist here.

1:28.3

This was one of the best wide receiver seasons we've seen in the past decade, really of all time. Number two in yards per out run. You get the gist here. This was one of the best wide receiver seasons we've seen in the past decade, really of all time when you factor in efficiency and receiving production on a team in Seattle that didn't throw that much. And then you also factor in this is the third time these teams are facing each other. And in the first two matchups, JSN did just fine. Earlier this year, I believe was a Thursday night game.

1:45.6

He goes for nine catches, 105 yards, double-digit targets. And the craziest part, if you actually watch that game, it felt like JSN was doing nothing. It felt like you look up and it's like, oh, what is JSN doing? It was like the quietest nine catch, 100 plus yard game you'll ever see. And then later in the season, they ended up rematching them and JSN in overtime.

2:19.6

A game that goes to overtime catches eight balls, 96 yards a touchdown. He gets another 13 targets. So even though the entire Ram secondary in defense knows that JSN is really the only wide receiver on this team that's going to get target volume, they still can't stop the guy in two matchups this year, and basically no team in the NFL could. So I'm expecting pretty similar results this week. I'm expecting JSN to see probably around another 10 plus targets in a game that should remain close with a close spread and has a high total. JSN, I think,'s going to be actively involved. That's not a hot take. And I think he'll be involved enough to clear this number of six and a half catches. Now you might look and say he didn't clear that number last week. Yeah, well,

2:38.2

the team only through 17 times in a 41 to 6 blowout. There was only 12 completed passes in that game. They really didn't have to throw the ball basically after the first quarter after Rashid Shaheed had a kickoff return touchdown. They got a turnover. The game was over. So we'll start that JSN play. Now I want to at Pukinikua because he has a very interesting play on the opposite side of this game. You can see right here,

2:49.8

Pukinaku's rushing yards are set at four and a half. I think that's very interesting. It's also pretty interesting and fun that these were the two best wide receivers in football this year going up against each other for the third time. We like to see that. Now, as I mentioned, I've said it a couple of times. This is the third time these teams are facing each other. You have to get a little

2:53.5

bit crafty and artsy with your... third time. We like to see that. Now, as I mentioned, I've said it a couple of times. This is the third

2:51.1

time these teams are facing each other. You have to get a little bit crafty and artsy with your playbook. And if there's any player or coach in the entire league that I trust to do that, it's Sean McVeigh, Matthew Stafford in this Rams offense with probably the offensive player of the year, maybe Pooka Naku.

3:05.0

JSN is going to be the odds on favor for that.

3:06.8

I get it because Puka missed a couple of games.

3:08.6

But on my vote, if I had a vote, it would be Puka.

3:10.6

Now, if we look so far, player of the year, maybe Pooka Nakuo. JSN is going to be the odds on favor for that. I get it because Puka missed a couple of games.

3:08.6

But on my vote, if I had a vote, it would be Puka. Now, if we look so far at Puka's rushing production in the postseason, we can come over in these two games. He's had at least multiple carries in every game, two carries for six yards and a very key fourth down against the Chicago Bears. and in the first playoff matchup, three carries for 14 yards.

3:24.2

He also, for what it's worth, earlier this season when heoff matchup, three carries for 14 yards.

3:42.0

He also, for what it's worth, earlier this season when he faced Seattle, had two carries for 18 yards in those two games. So four and a half yards, it's nothing crazy. He probably gets that on one carry, especially if he's getting multiple, he should see that. And I'm very interested because he's going to be massively involved in this game. Devante Adams is still, although he's six weeks or so removed from his hamstring injury,

4:33.8

we've seen it just as recent as last week, still somewhat limited in terms of ability to separate and earn a lot of targets. Which makes sense for a serious hamstring injury. It normally is a six to eight week until you're 100% out there again, especially if you're a 33-year-old wide receiver. So I'm not expecting Devante to be 100%. Now, I don't have to tell you this, but Puka Nakuwa is obviously massively involved this season. He saw 10.4 targets per game. Third in the NFL with 166 targets, despite basically missing two games this season. That's obviously great. You look at his yards per route run for the second straight season, the most efficient stat or the most important stat for wide receivers in terms of your efficiency. Second straight year, he leads the NFL there. Puganakuwa, I believe he'll obviously be involved massively as a receiver. Wouldn't be shocked to see another 10 plus targets in this game. But I also think they're going to have to get creative. The third time facing this very good Seattle defense, he's going to be involved multiple times in this game on the ground. So I will take Pookaukuwa for more than four and a half rushing yards. If you got it earlier this week or if you shopped the lines, you could actually get it probably at two and a half earlier in the week and maybe it's still out there. We're going to build a couple of slips by the way in this video. This is the first slip. We'll build another two slips later on and then I'll give you a nice little bonus promo code for free bets that you and all your friends can use. So let's keep building this first slip and let's go to Sam Donald, a player profiler
