100%
I like the teams that had the the harder road for both games. We'll see.

Holy shit! Did you just pick the Eagles to win the game? Didn’t see that coming.

Sit down clown.
Bengals in a close one, Niners not so close.

Only thing I'll say - A lot of people seem to be putting a lot of stock into Mahomes being healthy almost in a way that assures KC will win this game as if the past 3 times the Bengals haven't beaten the Chiefs with a healthy Mahomes.

Three times in the past 13 months, at that.

I hope he's healthy - I don't want to hear excuses when/if Cincy wins. Best of luck to KC - they're a hell of a team....trying to beat them a 4th time in 13 months is going to be a hell of a chore....

Bengals 27
Chiefs 24

Oh so close

Lol, that was fast. Even a 60% Mahomes is pretty good. Can't keep track of the narrative. Should the Chiefs be expected to win, feel dIsReSpEcTeD, Mahomes da gawd, or just start Chad Henne.

How have the Niners had a tougher path playing in the NFC West?!?!? But also…feel even better about the game knowing you’re on the other side.

Mods can you fix this to include blue game thread

He is not going to be healthy. By the end of the first QTR people will be see how much it effects his performance.
The high ankle sprain can be harder to play on a week after the day you sprained it.

Mahomes himself sounds very unsure.


"I'll have to find ways to be able to push off and be able to still make the throws the right way," he said. "I'll push it a little bit today and then the next day and then the next day again and see what I can do then. Not reaggravate the injury, obviously, but push it to see what I'll be able to do on Sunday."

Every fan of any team hopes that Mahomes is good to go at reasonable level. For a better game. However, if not, there are chances the surrounding cast pulls up bootstraps to compete. Watch out for traps.

Boy...and you pride yourself as being smart?

2 playoff wins > 1 playoff win.
Do the math. LOL

The path doesn’t start when the playoffs do. Try and keep up. You insulting my intelligence was a nice touch. If people don’t recognize your inane rules apparently the person is now stupid.

You seem miserable. You’d think after 27 years of futility you’d be better prepared to deal with disappointment.

Keep up?
It was my statement and opinion dip shit.

Looking forward to both games.

Gotta figure out some gameday grub to make.


Go Bengals!

Go Eagles!

May I suggest some aromatic Skyline Chili, sir? I think grubhub has a promo … delivered to your door

I think he will be just fine. He is an amazing athlete, about to win a second MVP. He is having one hell of a season. He can throw the ball 40+ yards without planting his feet on a dime. We are still inexperienced a bit on our oline, and the Chiefs have an underrated pass rush.

I think the Chiefs will be fine, and this should be an epic game. I hope Cincy can edge them out, but this game scares me more than last years AFC Championship game because the underdog mentality with nothing to lose is gone, and all t he pressure is on the Bengals now with the media hyping them and changing their story going into Sunday's game.
