Official Conference Title Games Thread

[bobblehead]

Going to be fun day of football. 2 of the best Ds in the game, with very physical styles in the NFC and imo the best 2 QBs in the game in the AFC. Philly surprised me with the thumping they put on the Giants. I thought it would be closer. I think the game is almost dead even (thus home team getting 2.5). As for betting it? I usually ride the better QB, but in this case the slightly better D and much better coach is on the other side. Screw it, just give me under 45.5

I'm surprised the Bengals are favored in this one, but I think its the right call. This game is a mess though. Bengals OL is banged up, and Maholmes is banged up. Both teams D is somewhat under rated though. I think the public likes the over in this game, but I'm going contrarian and betting the under. In this case KC has homefield and a much better coach. But man I'm a fan of the modern day Joe cool. He is almost Peyton Manning like, but with better weapons and not having to play the patriots (who were allowed to hold and interfere with receivers for a decade without getting flagged). I'm just betting both unders I think. I'll be cheering for SF and Cincinatti though.

-- #Eagles CB Avonte Maddox (toe) has no designation and will play.
-- #Chiefs TE Travis Kelce is listed as questionable with a back injury, but participated fully in practice.

Chiefs, Eagles…although I’m rooting for a Bengals Niners rematch.

Leaning under on SF/PHI, but going with the over on CIN/KC. Evenly matched teams with a lot on the line. I don’t think the injury hampers Mahomes much as a passer, and Reid will have a game plan for it. I expect a shootout in KC.

So did Mahomes not actually get an ankle sprain or what is the deal with that? If he’s not even on the injury report give me KC and Philly although I am rooting for Joe Cool and Cincy. It is mind boggling he didn’t get a chance at OSU. He is going to be so damn good when all is said and done.

I still don't know enough about the Eagles to have an opinion there.

I do know that Shanny is one helluva coach and that roster is fucking stacked.

[Sparkey]

Eagles rolling early. Purdy sure that the Niners ride ends here.

[Joemailman]

Not a catch by Smith. Oh well.

[Teamcheez1]

It just feels odd that the Packers aren’t playing. I’m so used to us finding another way to lose an NFC championship game.

[Joemailman]

Purdy sure 49ers are in trouble.

[smuggler]

Purdy is out. 49ers are in deep shit.

[Joemailman]

Looked like Purdy was throwing on the sidelines. Not sure if he can throw hard.

[George Cumby]

Feels like Philly is heading to the 'Owl.

[Joemailman]

49ers D buying time for Purdy?

[Joemailman]

The McCaffrey Drive.

[bobblehead]

Journeyman Josh just isn't good enough. Its a shame. And his bad play might cost me the under.
