3 p.m. ET

(2) San Francisco 49ers at (1) Philadelphia Eagles: Go 49ers! There is no real reason to root for one team over the other, but San Francisco’s story is a more remarkable one: the 49ers are down to their third-string quarterback and have nonetheless advanced all the way to the NFC title game. Seeing them advance to the Super Bowl would add another chapter, and make for some interesting offseason talk in regards to Jimmy Garoppolo, Trey Lance and Brock Purdy. | FOX, fuboTV

6:30 p.m. ET

(3) Cincinnati Bengals at (1) Kansas City Chiefs: Go Bengals! Kansas City’s self-proclaimed dynasty stands at one championship, and a Cincinnati win would keep it that way. Also, if you’re a fan of teams winning their first Super Bowls the Bengals also are your choice. | CBS, fuboTV
