NFL conference championship Sunday

[Cosmo]

All times local

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP
San Francisco at Philadelphia (-2.5/45.5), 3, FOX

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP
Cincinnati at Kansas City (-1/47.5), 530, CBS

Bengals are really freaking good, and if Mahomes is limited in his ability to move around and/or escape the pocket like he was against Jacksonville, it could be a long day for the Chiefs. I have no idea how the 49ers-Eagles came is going to turn out, but it's the matchup we've wanted to see all year. Right teams in the championship in both conferences.

I figured it would be closer to Philly plus 6 and KC plus 4.

Eagles 30, 49ers 0

Bengals 35, Chiefs 14

I have no idea what the money line is for Bengals-Chiefs, but it looks like money to me playing Cincinnati. I do not know how a team with a QB on one leg can be favored. I'd have to go with the 49ers, too. The one Eagles' weakness is run defense. Not good against the Niners.

Mahomes getting hurt was the biggest break for the Bengals in this game. Not that they couldn't win with Mahomes 100 percent, but it got a whole ton easier.

I think Niners-Eagles is going to go the same way Niners-Rams went last year. LA stuffed the run and had enough big plays on offense late to pull out the win.
I expect the Eagles to jump out in front, control the line of scrimmage and dare Purdy to beat them. Hurts will have a big day.

But LOL Niners getting shut out. Same LOL I had when I saw the Cowboys were going to put up 49 on that defense when only one team put up north of 40 and it took Mahomes to do it. No one has shut out the Niners this year and it isn't happening this weekend. I'll bet my avatar they do not get shut out.

Last year I rooted for the Rams because of Matthew Stafford and they won the Super Bowl
This time I'm pulling for the Eagles
No not because of Ndamukong Suh
That mercenary already has a ring
Darius Slay was the best corner the Lions had in years
Matt Patricia comes in and says to Slay, who had been working out with Richard Sherman, Aqib Talib and Xavier Rhodes: "What are you doing with those guys? You aren't elite."
Jeff Okudah, who was the Lions' No.1 pick, told Slay he modeled his game after his and couldn't wait to work with him
Never got the chance
Slay was traded to the Eagles for a 3 and a 5
Big Play Slay deserves a ring to wave in Matt Patricia's face

Since a family member Bengals fan I know pashed away right before Christmas, I'm hoping Cincinnati wins it all.

I'm hoping that Cincinnati and Philadelphia make it to the Super Bowl on the outside chance that someone might write the story that could use the way-too-long head: As God as my witness, I thought Eagles could fly.

I'm harmed and feeling emotionally redlined by your pashive-aggressive LOL'ing lol

Same LOL I had when I saw the Cowboys were going to put up 49 on that defense

You may have missed the first line in the post last week when I said it's what I'd like to see.

Picks are more what I'd like to see ...

I didn't miss it. You want to see the Niners crushed. And I LOL at you thinking they will be.

The line has now shifted to a pick'em, so it's -110. You have to lay 1.5 points to get onto the plus side of the odds.
Even when it was Bengals +1 you were probably better off taking the point, since the odds weren't appreciably better on the money line.
