The NFL playoffs have reached the NFC and AFC Championship games, with the Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens still having a chance to claim the Super Bowl title. Who will win today?
The NFL Playoffs have advanced to the AFC and NFC Championship games, with both contests kicking off on Sunday. First, in an afternoon game, the AFC’s third-seeded Kansas City Chiefs visit the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens. Then, the night game features the NFC’s third-seeded Detroit Lions at the first-seeded San Francisco 49ers. Will this year’s Super Bowl feature the top team from each conference, or will we see an upset today?
According to the latest odds for both games brought to us by DraftKings Sportsbook, the Ravens are four-point favorites to claim the AFC Champsionship and advance to the Super Bowl. The 49ers are then seven-point favorites to follow them to the Las Vegas hosted NFL championship.
Every week of the season, we have brought to you our straight-up winners picks from our group of contributors here on The Phinsider.
