-The public is relatively split when it comes to the NFC Championship. Just over half the bets, but also some sharps, are backing the home favorite 49ers which has pushed the line from San Francisco -7 to -7.5. Pros and Joes have also targeted the over, moving the line from 45 to 46.5.

One thing we haven't discussed this week: prop bets.
Also known as "exotics" or "fun bets," propositional bets can be any bet on the game that isn't the conventional spread, moneyline or over/under. Bettors have a plethora of prop bets available to them this weekend.
Let's discuss a handful of props available at Circa Sports.
