The line for total touchdowns in the NFC Championship Game is set at 7.5 at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Bettors who like the OVER 60.5 points in this game might also be drawn to the OVER 7.5 touchdown prop bet, which would pay +110 if it hits.
The UNDER 7.5 total touchdowns line is set at -130. Green Bay’s 34-31 win over Dallas last week featured seven touchdowns, and Atlanta’s 36-20 win over Seattle had six.
In the Divisional Round, both the Packers and the Falcons had more points in the first half than they did in the second half. Will this trend continue in the NFC Championship Game? The first half being the highest-scoring half of the game is the favorite at -120, with second half plus overtime going off as a +100 underdog.
Second halves tend to be more low-scoring as one team tries to protect its lead, but if both teams trade blows all game long then the second half could be a high-scoring one.
Bettors considering wagering that the second half will produce more points might also take a stab on the “No” on the prop bet of whether there will be three straight scores by either team. “Yes” one team will score three straight times is a heavy favorite at -280, which would provide “No” bettors a nice payout of +240 if this hits on the NFL betting props.
Both of these teams are capable of scoring in bunches, but there may not be an instance in this one where Atlanta, the small betting favorite for the game, or Green Bay gets held scoreless on three straight drives.
With all of the offense expected in this game, will the defense get in on the scoring? “No” the defense won’t score a touchdown is a -210 favorite over “Yes” at +175. Aaron Rodgers has thrown only one interception over his last nine games and Matt Ryan has none in his last five games, so pick-sixes figure to be hard to come by with these two under center.
