While players from both squads are ecstatic for the upcoming opportunity to compete on the NFL’s biggest stage, they weren’t the only ones celebrating when Sunday’s contests came to an end.

Somehow, this gambler successfully predicted the exact final scores for both the AFC and NFC Championship games.
Things were looking grim when Kansas City jumped out to an early 21-3 lead in the afternoon contest, but Cincy battled back to win 27-24. This bettor then had to hold their breath watching the Rams dig out of a 10-point fourth quarter hole in a 20-17 victory. Making it more impressive, they parlayed the two matchups, meaning both bets had to hit in order to cash out.
It’s truly a thing of beauty.
There’s one more chance to bet on the NFL this season. It is the crown jewel of sports betting. The Super Bowl. Cincinnati and Los Angeles will face off in two weeks in Super Bowl LVI.
