NFL
It all comes down to this Sunday, ! The Championship Round is coming up and once again, two out of four of the teams playing were in the Championship Round last year (Chiefs and 49ers). Last week I was able to go 4-0 in my picks, making me 6-4 in the playoffs. I have my personal favorites this week, but I am totally fine with being absolutely wrong on these picks. In the end, all four teams are playing great and I would be happy with any Super Bowl matchup combination. Here we go!
Sunday, January 28th
AFC Championship
| Matchup | Time/Network | Winner | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chiefs @ Ravens | 3:00p ET on CBS | Ravens | Confidence: Low - This is the fifth meeting between Jackson and Mahomes as the starting QBs. Baltimore is 1-3 in past matchups, and Jackson has a 56.2% completion with four TDs and two INTs. Now he is playing at an MVP level. Spagnuolo will need to keep Jackson contained with Tranquill and Bolton. Jones is a game-changer for the Chiefs, and Baltimore needs to generate an inside running game with Edwards and Hill. Flowers and Sneed will be a key matchup on the perimeter, and Baltimore needs to win that one a few times. The Ravens haven’t had an answer for Mahomes in those previous meetings where he averages 370 passing yards with 12 TDs and two INTs, a 71.8% completion. The connection with Kelce was back in full force last week, and he will test Smith and Queen. Pacheco has added a physical presence in the running game. I think we're looking at a potentially great game that will be hard to predict. I know a lot of folks are tired of seeing KC in the Super Bowl, but the way they're playing makes it hard not to think they can't do it again. Baltimore is looking great, so I'm going to nervously pick the home team to win this one. Mahomes just continues to find ways to get it done in the postseason. That said, the Ravens were my pick when the playoffs started so I'll stick with them knowing the Chiefs can blow that plan up. |
NFC Championship
| Matchup | Time/Network | Winner | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lions @ 49ers | 6:30p ET on FOX | 49ers | Confidence: Low - Samuel's shoulder injury could loom large in this game. He suffered a similar injury in Week 6. The Niners went 0-3 in that stretch, and Purdy posted just three TDs and five INTs while completing 62.5% of his passes. It could have a big effect on the passing attack if Samuel is out. CMC had 24 touches against Green Bay, and Purdy will test the middle of the field with Kittle up against Joseph and CJGJ. Purdy has taken just eight sacks in San Fran’s past seven games. McKivitz has allowed just nine sacks all season, and Hutchinson has three sacks in two playoff games, which makes their interaction something to look forward to. On the other side, Goff has averaged 282 passing YPG with three TDs in two postseason games. Goff’s passer rating drops to 89.4% on the road and he will be up against a fantastic edge rush with Bosa and Young. Goff will utilize a quick passing game with St. Brown on the perimeter and LaPorta will have to win against Warner and Greenlaw. The Lions are the best team against the spread this season at 13-6. Detroit is 1-2 as an underdog and those games were against the Chiefs, Cowboys, and Ravens. San Fran is 4-0 when favored by four points or less. Both teams are so good and I think either one will be an awesome NFC representative in the Super Bowl. I'd be totally fine being wrong on this and seeing the Lions have a storybook ending. It's just hard picking against San Fran in this one. |
Those are my predictions, let's hear yours. Keep it civil and fun. Best of luck!

No, none of them are written about going to Chicago, had more to it than the title with some other FAs.
Part pertaining to the Bears:
Chase Young will reunite with Montez Sweat in Chicago
Washington traded its star defensive line bookends at the 2023 trade deadline, with Sweat then thriving as the Chicago Bears' lead rusher and Young now competing for a Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers.
Chicago, in its efforts to bolster its pass rush, evaluated both Young and Sweat in the months leading up to the deadline. Sweat landed a four-year, $98 million extension with the Bears, who could spend more money in free agency to sign a pass-rusher such as Young.

They seem to be a dying breed. Flacco is the only OG left now that Brady, Mannings 1 and 2, Big Ben, etc are gone
The ones I can immediately think of are:
-
Flacco
-
Goff
-
Purdy
-
Cousins
-
Young? Didnt watch him this year
Do Carr and Stafford count? Will we ever see the end of the pocket passers?
