CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS

We’re down to just 4 teams. Playing for a trip to the Super Bowl. 

Kansas City Chiefs @ Baltimore Ravens (-4)

The Chiefs continue to be the NFL’s boogie man. Even on what we all thought was a down year, Mahomes and Co. have sauntered through the playoffs eliminating the teams we thought might finally get over the hump. Is Taylor Swift bewitching the league with her vampire powers? People are asking. 

The Ravens are a new challenge, though, as some advanced metrics say this is one of the best teams of all time. Plus they have that nasty Baltimore swag. If Jason Kelce jumps out of the box this week I can’t promise they’ll be as receptive as the Buffalonians were last week. 

Can’t count out Mahomie, but I think Baltimore could smash. 

Detroit Lions @ San Francisco 49ers (-7)

The battle of a number 1 overall draft pick versus the actual last pick. Wild how this league works. Jared Goff has been balling this year. Jared Goff chants have been breaking out across Michigan this week at all sorts of events. He has the chance to do something historic as the Lions have never been to a Super Bowl. But they may have run into a wagon in the Niners. When they got to this game last year all their quarterbacks got hurt and they’ve been wee wah-ing ever since. So they want another crack at it. But cmon. Who can root for the fancy California team over the gritty Motown boys… let’s go Lions.
