Four teams will compete on Championship Sunday for two spots in Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas on February 11, 2024. In the AFC, Patrick Mahomes is looking to punch his ticket to his fourth big game against Baltimore’s No. 1 defense while Jared Goff’s Lions battle Brock Purdy’s Niners in the NFC.
Who will lead the Conference Round in passing, rushing and receiving yards? Before we look at the odds for each, here’s where you can find the best tips for betting on the 2024 NFL playoffs and the top betting sites for NFL football.
Most Rushing Yards – Conference Championship
| Player |  |  |  |
| Christian McCaffrey SF | +115 | +115 | +115 |
| Isiah Pacheco KC | +375 | +375 | +375 |
| Lamar Jackson BAL | +450 | +450 | +450 |
| David Montgomery DET | +850 | +850 | +850 |
| Jahmyr Gibbs DET | +900 | +900 | +900 |
| Gus Edwards BAL | +1200 | +1200 | +1200 |
| Dalvin Cook BAL | +1500 | +1500 | +1500 |
| Justice Hill BAL | +1500 | +1500 | +1500 |
| Clyde Edwards-Helaire KC | +2500 | +2500 | +2500 |
| Patrick Mahomes KC | +5000 | +5000 | +5000 |
| Brock Purdy SF | +30000 | +30000 | +30000 |
Lamar to run wild again?
Christian McCaffrey (+115) is almost an even-money favorite to lead the league in rushing yards on Championship Sunday. After pacing the NFL with 1,459 yards in 2023, CMC racked 98 yards and two touchdowns in San Francisco’s 24-21 Divisional Round win over Green Bay. However, he has a more foreboding matchup this weekend. Detroit allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game (87.7) this season. David Montgomery (+850) and Jahmyr Gibbs (+900) are also in tough against the 49ers’ 3rd-ranked run defense (92.3).
Isiah Pacheco (+375) piled up 97 yards and a score in KC’s 27-24 victory over the Bills. Look for Andy Reid to run the rock to keep the Ravens’ No. 1 rated pass rush at bay. Lamar Jackson (+450) recorded his third 100-yard playoff rushing performance in Baltimore’s 34-10 victory over Houston – the most by a quarterback in NFL history. And the Chiefs permitted Josh Allen to run for 72 yards and two TDs on Sunday.

Most Passing Yards – Conference Championship
| Player | | | |
| Brock Purdy SF | +150 | +150 | +150 |
| Jared Goff DET | +200 | +200 | +200 |
| Patrick Mahomes KC | +225 | +225 | +225 |
| Lamar Jackson BAL | +750 | +750 | +750 |
Purdy favored after rough outing
Brock Purdy (+150) looked horrendous against the Packers, but pulled up his socks on the game-winning drive, completing 6-of-7 passes for 47 yards. With drier weather forecasted for Santa Clara this Sunday, the sophomore QB should carve up a Lions defense that allowed the second-most passing yards (256.9) per week in the NFL this season. Don’t forget Baker Mayfield diced up Detroit for 349 passing yards and 3 TDs last weekend.
Jared Goff (+200) faces a mediocre 49ers pass defense after throwing for 287 and 277 yards the past two weeks in wins over the Buccaneers and Rams. Patrick Mahomes (+225) vanquished Josh Allen’s Bills yet again, but he only need 215 passing yards to do it and Baltimore’s D is even stingier than Buffalo’s through the air. Lamar Jackson (+750) has failed to throw for 300+ yards in all but three games this season and faces KC’s No. 4 ranked pass defense.
Most Receiving Yards – Conference Championship
| Player | | | |
| Amon-Ra St. Brown DET | +400 | +400 | +400 |
| Brandon Aiyuk SF | +450 | +450 | +450 |
| Rashee Rice KC | +650 | +650 | +650 |
| Travis Kelce KC | +950 | +950 | +950 |
| Zay Flowers BAL | +950 | +950 | +950 |
| Deebo Samuel SF | +1200 | +1200 | +1200 |
| George Kittle SF | +1500 | +1500 | +1500 |
| Jahmyr Gibbs DET | +1500 | +1500 | +1500 |
| Mark Andrews BAL | +1500 | +1500 | +1500 |

Aiyuk set to feast
Amon-Ra St. Brown (+400) had 77 receiving yards and a TD in the Divisional Round. The “Sun God” finished No. 3 in the NFL with 1,515 receiving yards this season, hitting the century mark in 10 of 18 games. While Brandon Aiyuk (+450) only made three receptions for 32 yards on Sunday, two of them were tough grabs that went a long way to saving San Francisco’s season. He also had three 100+ yard outings in the month of December.
Rashee Rice (+650) was kept in check on Sunday with only 47 yards, but he put up 257 yards and a score in his previous two games. His teammate Travis Kelce (+950) went for 75 yards and two tuddies last weekend. However, Mr. Taylor Swift hasn’t exceeded 100 receiving yards since mid-October.

Best Longshot
While Aiyuk is our favorite bet at +450, George Kittle is a great value at +1500 with Deebo Samuel likely to miss the NFC Championship Game. Kittle led all tight ends this season with 18 catches over 20 yards, including three 40+ yard splash plays.
Detroit’s defense also gave up the most TDs (11), and the fourth-worst catch rate, to tight ends this year.
