And then there were four. The NFL Conference Championships are underway and the four remaining teams are hungry for a shot at the Super Bowl. Teams have worked hard to get to this point, and both games could be battles. This article will be a quick one, but it is time to discuss the Conference Championships and here is what to expect from them.
Washington Commanders vs Philadelphia Eagles (Eagles -6) – The Washington Commanders have worked to get to this point. They went 12-5 in the regular season and took down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Detroit Lions. They beat the Lions 45-31. The Commanders were the underdogs in both of these games, and yet they still managed to get the victories and extend their season. They have another tough challenge ahead of them as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles finished the regular season with a record of 14-3. They beat the Green Bay Packers and the Los Angeles Rams to get to this point. The Eagles have a chance to get to the Super Bowl, which they made during the 2022-23 season. Regardless of what happens in this game, the Commanders have something to be proud of. This is especially true, as it is their first NFC Championship Game in 33 years. They have beat the odds and have shown that they have a promising future. This game could come down to experience. It will be a battle between Jayden Daniels and Jalen Hurts (who is expected to wear a knee brace). And Philadelphia should take it.
Prediction: The Eagles win
Buffalo Bills vs Kansas City Chiefs (Chiefs -2) – The Buffalo Bills fought their way to this point by going 13-4 in the regular season, then beating the Denver Broncos and the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs. This is an exciting matchup against a familiar foe. The Kansas City Chiefs are the defending champions and went 15-2 in the regular season. They beat the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round. These teams have battled each other, including their matchup in the 2023 playoffs. The Chiefs came away with that win, but this time anything can happen. It is all about Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes in this one, and in what will be a good game, the Chiefs should get the win.
Prediction: The Chiefs win.
