2024 NFL playoff bracket: Conference Championship picks, predictions, best bets for AFC, NFC by advanced model

There are four teams that have made it to NFL Conference Championship Weekend, but managers will take a long look at the Detroit Lions before they make their final 2024 NFL playoff bracket picks. Detroit shocked fans on Wild Card Weekend when they won their first playoff game since 1991 and now are one step closer to getting a shot at their first Super Bowl victory in franchise history. The road to the Super Bowl stops in California, where the Lions visit a San Francisco 49ers team that looked rusty in the divisional round, but grinded out a 24-21 win against the Green Bay Packers.

The Lions are +250 underdogs to win the NFC Championship Game and are +750 longshots to win Super Bowl 58. Should you include them in your NFL picks? Before making any NFL picks or 2024 NFL bracket predictions for the 2024 NFL Conference Championship Games, be sure to see what SportsLine’s advanced computer model has to say.
