I hope the team I cheer for wins.


My apologies for my aggressive and hot takes.

Niners in their 3rd consecutive NFC Championship game and 4th in 5 years. They can’t seem to be able to get over this hump, though. The Niners have lost their last 4 tries.

Of course I am rooting for the Niners, but if the Lions make it to their first Bowl, that isn’t a bad consolation prize.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Go get em Lions.

Interesting stats…

The Niners are 7-11 all time in the NFC Championship Game
This will be their 19th appearance in the game, the most by any team (NFC, at least)
This is only the Lions 2nd ever appearance
The Lions are the only NFC team to never win the NFC Championship Game

Kerby Joseph took that knee cap thing a little too seriously

I'm guessing Niners will be 5-6 point favorites...is the line up yet? If Deebo doesn't play maybe 4-5

I saw it at 7.

People really see the Niners stronger than I do I guess. I'm getting a lot of pushback on the NBA board predicting if the Niners play the Ravens the Ravens will be 3-4 point favorites

That line seems about right to me. For the Ravens game.

If need more than 7 to take my Lions. Unless Debo is injured.

It's tough to bet on your team because if you lose you are sad plus out some money.

Niners cannot overlook the Lions either especially after yesterday. No games are locks in the playoffs

I feel a lot better about this match-up after the Niners last 2 games. But I'm realistic. The Lions need Purdy to play more like Mr Irrelevant than an MVP to have a shot.

The Rams game doesn’t count. That was a preseason game for the Niners. Yesterday, though, does concern me a bit.

Deebo will be a big factor if he can play IMO

I would suspect the Niner would win but I have to root for the Lions to get there finally.

Lions on the road are much different than at home. I'm hoping the Niners got all the rust and jitters out last night and will come out looking normal and get the win.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

I'm expecting a hard fought battle, should be a ton-o-fun. And of course that goes perhaps double for the Chiefs-Ravens game. Talk about anticipation!

I'm kinda hedged, want the Niners to win but Lions are my second choice to win the Bowl
