NFL Championship Round Predictions Thread (2023 Playoffs)

Post Body

It all comes down to this Sunday, /r/NFL! The Championship Round is coming up and surprisingly, three out of four of the teams playing were in the Championship Round last year (Bengals, Chiefs, and 49ers). Last week I was able to go 4-0 in my picks, making me 8-2 in the playoffs. I have my personal favorites this week, so my picks are slightly more biased than usual, But in the end, all four teams are playing great and I would be happy with any Super Bowl matchup combination. Here we go!

Sunday, January 29th

NFC Championship

Matchup	Time/Network	Winner	Comments
49ers @ Eagles	3:00p ET on FOX	49erss	*Confidence: Low* - The Eagles have been sack machines all season, and they will need to keep it up to put pressure on Purdy before he can hand it off to CMC or Mitchell, or air it out to Samuel or Kittle. Hurts will need to be consistent to his three favorite targets in Brown, Smith, and Goeddert. Hurts plays great at home, so I'm not confident at all in my pick and wouldn't be surprised of Philly has a great game. But that 49ers defense, man. They will cause all sorts of chaos and I feel they're going to be the deciding factor in this matchup. Possible OT scenario here.

Bengals @ Chiefs	6:30p ET on CBS	Bengals	*Confidence: Low* - Cincy is heating up all through the playoffs, showing swagger and cerebral gameplay with Burrow acting like an old vet out there. Burrow will have his downfield choice among Chase, Higgins and Hurst. If Mixon averages 5.0 YPC on top of that, then the Bengals will be in business. Mahomes' high ankle sprain is going to play a factor in his gameplay, even if he won't admit it. Expect some flashy passes to Kelce, Smith-Schuster, and MVS while Mahomes is less mobile than he'd like. This could be a shootout.

Those are my predictions, let's hear yours. Keep it civil and fun. Best of luck!

Update: 0-2, LOL. On to the Super Bowl!
