AFC/NFC Championship - Game Day
Mates,
Later today we get the AFC and NFC Championship games. Last weekends games were epic, one after the other, with the finale being a mind-blowing OT game with Buffalo and the Chiefs. I read a funny one on Monday: Super Bowl cancelled; NFL to schedule best-of-7 series with Chiefs and Bills.
Today's games start with the AFC finalists, a 10-7 Cincinnati team vs. those 12-5 Chiefs. The Chiefs are favored by a TD and the game is on CBS
Chiefs 7 Bengals.
The second game of the day is a rematch of sorts and identical records of 12-5 vs. 10-7. LA will host the 49'ers, with LA as a 3.5 point favorite. The 49'ers have had the Rams' number of late, winning 6 straight including 2 this year, 27-24 in LA to start the regular season, and a 31-10 win at San Francisco's place. This game is on FOX.
LA 3.5 49'ers
Picking with the points, who are you taking? And is there any way we can get these games to be like last week's? Would be so much fun to have barn-burners.
Have a great Sunday,
XM

Go Niners!!
January 30th, 2022 at 7:46 AM ^
Chiefs.
Rams.
Largely an uneducated guess, since I don't really track the NFL as much when the Giants suck. And oh how the Giants suck.
January 30th, 2022 at 7:57 AM ^
Clarence, with sympathy because your Giants are a little down, you have to understand most of us are lions fans. That makes the Giants look like America’s team compared to what we get to root for.
January 30th, 2022 at 9:19 AM ^
Right???
The only team I can conjure the tiniest amount of sympathy for is Cleveland. There are no other teams that elicit the scarcest amount of feels from me... When friends at work start whining about the WFT, I pretty much tell them to F Off while reminding them of the Super Bowls their team has won.
January 30th, 2022 at 7:55 AM ^
I'm rooting for the Niners the rest of the way. They are not a team of superstars, but they play inspired, tough-ass football. Debo Samuel is must watch television.
I've grown tired of the Chiefs, so I'll root for the Bengals today. I think however, the Chiefs will win and go onto win the SB.
Should be some wings and beers involved today.

Rams-Chiefs in The Big Game…don’t sleep on the Bengals that game will be close!
January 30th, 2022 at 9:09 AM ^
Rams have too much firepower - will be hard for the Niners to stay close I think.
Chiefs have liabilities on defense - but experience and too much offensive talent wins the day.
Chiefs / Rams in SB - with Stafford and Rams winning it.
January 30th, 2022 at 9:12 AM ^
would love to have stafford get a super bowl, but with the niners on a 6-game winning streak against the rams, including two this year, seems like the niners know how to deal with that firepower?
January 30th, 2022 at 11:11 AM ^
I'm literally the only Lions fan I know that is not rooting for Stafford. Maybe I'm a hater, whatever.
He asked to be traded and he luckily was born on 3rd base with the Rams. He does seem like a good guy, can't say the same about his wife ?. But yah I'm not rooting for him.
January 30th, 2022 at 9:22 AM ^
I don't have a rooting interest in any of these teams, except maybe the Rams - because of Stafford. He deserves a SB win as much as anyone, and I wouldn't mind seeing it. Dude gave what he had for the Lions, and still loves that organization. Besides, who better to win than the guy that dethroned Tom fucking' Brady?
January 30th, 2022 at 9:29 AM ^
Go Niners. Go Bengals.
January 30th, 2022 at 10:20 AM ^
You would say that.
January 30th, 2022 at 3:51 PM ^
He sure tries hard.
January 30th, 2022 at 5:21 PM ^
looks like he got tubed. he sure tried hard.
see ya kolesar99. wonder what his next name will be
January 30th, 2022 at 12:22 PM ^
No way I root for the Bengals. There are a ton of Bengal fans here in Central Ohio and even all 4 of the major stations are behind them. I like Burrow but that's as far as it goes
January 30th, 2022 at 9:42 AM ^
Man, it’s just another awesome weekend of Packer-less Playoff football.
I’m here for it.
January 30th, 2022 at 11:03 AM ^
Will never get old.
January 30th, 2022 at 3:21 PM ^
Aaron Rodgers is a genius?…you can’t lose in the NFC Title game, if you don’t make it there.
January 30th, 2022 at 10:16 AM ^
Rams and Chiefs
My Rams blowing leads this year scares the shit out of me, but I think we do it this time against the Niners.
January 30th, 2022 at 10:39 AM ^
The upstart Bengals are a feisty bunch playing with house money, and the Chiefs may start slowly after last week's fireworks. It'll be close at the half, but the Chiefs pull away in the fourth. Frank Clark will get to know Joe Burrow very well. Chiefs cover, 34-20.
In the nightcap, it'll be a comfortable Rams win. They're a much more balanced offense with Akers back. So as long as he doesn't cough up the ball twice, giving Garoppolo short fields, I don't see how SF can keep pace. Rams 30-17.
January 30th, 2022 at 12:58 PM ^
vlady, you're not worried about the 6 game winning streak, including two with stafford at the helm for the rams?
older brother did say that the three 49'er pro bowl guys all limped off the field last week and might not play or play banged-up at best. said jimmy g. is also dinged up. could indeed be the rams' day today.
January 30th, 2022 at 11:00 AM ^
Let's go underdogs.
January 30th, 2022 at 11:03 AM ^
Excellent post and game info except your missing game times. Just fyi.
January 30th, 2022 at 12:31 PM ^
Oops:

6:30 (I think)

The NFL has so much money dependent on match ups. It’s not really enjoyable to watch. The key QBs are living in a glass house. KC is always holding when Mahommes runs around. It’s comical watching and zero holding calls. They tackle defenders and it’s allowed. It’s too bad.
January 30th, 2022 at 5:23 PM ^
mahomes just got sacked. looks like this game got muy interesante.

Danna puttin in work.
