To me it looks like the 49ers Lombardi to lose.

I'll go with the Bengals. Tough defense, best remaining healthy QB, us against the world mentality, overperforming OL.

Not sure how a rookie QB beats the 1 seed on the road. Barely beat a flawed Cowboys team at home. That Eagles team has no weaknesses. It's a tall task.

Bengals or Chiefs? 49ers or Eagles? We're on to the AFC and NFC title games with early previews

Here's everything you need to know for the AFC and NFC title games, including how each of the four teams can win and reach the Super Bowl.

I don't want the 49ers winning their 6th for obvious reasons.

Anyone but Philly, my man.

Smart money is on Cincy.
Burrow is by far the best qb of the 4 teams,with Mahomes hobbled.
Cincy has a better defense than KC.
This game might not even be close.
Philly/SF is dead even to me.
Both D's are great,but SF's is better.
Nick Bosa will have a monster game. He's savvy enough not to overpursue Hurts.
Obviously Philly has the advantage at qb but I'm not sure they have the advantage on offense. McCaff,Deebo and Kittle are all Swiss Army knives of the highest caliber- how the hell do you cover all 3 combined with Shanahan's brilliance.
SF is the more physical team as well, not that Philly is soft by any means.
I think SF wins a close game.
But no way I'm betting against Cincy vs. anyone

Im loving the Bengals moxy right now, hope they ride that to a win in kc!

people who talk about the 2001-2019 Pats being so lucky have obviously never watched the Chiefs these past few years
