4 teams left, you win you’re in the super bowl you lose you go home.
The divisional round was as exciting as surprising. Starting with the Kansas City Chiefs 27-20 win over the jaguars but, the win came with a price as Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain. Later that night the Eagles showed the world why they are the number one seed destroying the Giants 38-7. Sunday started with the Bengals gliding past the Bills 27-10 forcing Bills fans to get a refund on the championship game tickets. Then the 49ers beat the Cowboys 19-12 in a game of mostly field goals.

49ers vs. Eagles (-2.5) Time: 3:00 My prediction: Eagles win 24-21
The game is going to come down to which O-line and D-line does better. Both teams have amazing D-lines ranking near the top for sacks and yards per carry and if the O-lines give their quarterbacks time in the pocket and holes for their running back to go through then they will win. The 49ers have been on a hot streak winning their last 12 games. The Eagles went into last week’s game against the Giants being called frauds but that only fired them up; they blew out the Giants and are still hungry. Plus the Eagles star corner back Avonte Maddox might return for the game. Nick Sirianni said that he is hopeful for him to return and that Maddox played in practice Wednesday but was limited. Whoever wins books the first spot into the super bowl.
AFC Championship
Chiefs vs Bengals (-1.5) Time: 6:30 My prediction: Bengals win 24-21
The last three times these teams have played, the Bengals won, so the Chiefs will be looking for revenge. But in last week’s divisional round game, Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain. Although coach Reid said that he will play, it is still unknown if he will be 100% for the game. The Bengals have just come off of a big win against the Bills and are still looking to prove to the Chiefs and NFL that they should not have started selling tickets to a Chiefs vs. Bills game before it happened. They also want to get back to the super bowl, but this time, unlike last year, win it. A chance to win the super bowl is on the line and every second will matter.
