Only 2 games left until the big game. Lets see whos left. Im not going to address what happened in the Divisional Round because paradroid pretty much nailed it. It was the best weekend of football I have ever seen. And the Bills/Chiefs game is probably the best game Ive ever watched.
Bengals (8th) @ Chiefs (1st) – Chiefs
Lets see if I can go 0-3 on the Bengals. Ive said it before but I just dont think the Bengals have what it takes to beat the Raiders Titans Chiefs. Sure Burrows has proven that he can take a team down the field despite getting sacked roughly every 7th play. But, they only got into the end zone once last week and twice the week before. Mahomes and the Chiefs scored more touchdowns in like the last 64 seconds then they did in 2 weeks.
49ers (5th) @ Rams (2nd) – 49ers
Its hard to put your finger on exactly what makes the 49ers such a threat. Jimmy G certainly isnt an elite quarterback. I give him Eli Manning (barf) status, at best. They really dont have a number 1 player in any position. They have several good players, second most in the pro bowl for the NFC this year; but there isnt that Tom Brady or Derrick Henry that you think will just make the difference. But, here they are, playing for the NFC title and a trip to the Super Bowl while Brady and Henry will be watching the games at home.
Im super excited for the Matthew Stafford and the Rams. Taking out Brady in the playoffs is something very few teams have done. Well, a low percentage of teams have done anyway. Hes spent about 3 seasons worth of games in the postseason. But I think this is the end. The 49ers, despite theyre terrible division record, have taken out the Rams twice this season. I think they may be the NFLs Braves and ruin our power rankings.
