AFC/NFC Championship Game Thread
Mates,
It is Championship Sunday for the AFC and NFC. After a foot and a half of snow up north it is sunny and gorgeous, albeit a bit windy. A fine day to watch some football.
In the AFC the surprising Tennessee Titans go to KC to take on Mahones and the Chiefs. Like many, I didn't think much of the Titans' chances to go this far, but I also didn't know their RB was 6' 3", 247 lbs, and an outstanding runner. Wow. Chiefs are a 7 point favorite, and kick off is in a couple of minutes.
In the NFC Green Bay is out west in San Franciso to play the 49'ers. The Niners are a 7.5 point favorite.
So today's question is simply this, picking with the points: Who are you taking in today's games?
Stay warm and enjoy,
XM

Tune your antenna to CBS?
If you don’t have an antenna and aren’t too far from a transmitter, you can literally stick a paper clip in the coax input and get signal.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:22 PM ^
Antennas don't want to work here. Tried 3 and no luck. Too many trees maybe? I live in St. James WOODS so there are a "few" trees here lol

Thank you!

I want the Chiefs to win it all. They’re tremendous fun.
Not confident they can slow down the Titans offense, though.
I lean Niners in the late game, but Rodgers could just light things up and that could be that.
Love the environment at KC. Big games. Football does them so well.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:47 PM ^
I just want to see Andy Reid finally win a Super Bowl.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:02 PM ^
Yeah, I used to root against him because it’s never fun to see Philly fans have nice things, but it would be nice to see him win with KC. He’s a really good coach and it would be great to see him get a ring. It would be sad to see him become the Charles Barkley of coaches.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:12 PM ^
49ers need to lose cause Jed shouldn't have nice things
January 19th, 2020 at 3:26 PM ^
Kind of ironic that letting Harbaugh go might have been a better deal for the 49ers than for Michigan.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
The 9ers firing Baalke and hiring Lynch was probably the reason why they are back. But you can go with your terrible narrative.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:28 PM ^
Show me one single 49ers fan who says they'd rather have Jim Harbaugh right now, especially after they smoke Green Bay tonight.
January 19th, 2020 at 5:16 PM ^
Probably not too many would want to trade Shanahan for Harbaugh right now. That’s not the point. I could find plenty that were pissed when he was fired. Also plenty of them would have rather had Harbaugh over Tomsula and Kelly. The 49ers got worse after Harbaugh left. John Lynch brought them back by drafting guys like Kittle and Bosa, trading for Jimmy G, and signing Sherman. But yep the 9ers fleeced Michigan and they were better off without him. I’m sure no other NFL teams would want Harbaugh over their current coach.
January 19th, 2020 at 6:49 PM ^
Ironic, don't you think
January 19th, 2020 at 3:30 PM ^
you are right about jed, but my brother should have nice things and he's a niners season ticket holder for years and will be there with some of his niner buddies. for that reason i shall root for the niners. that said, i am the probably rare lions fan who always liked the packers so if GB wins, so be it.
January 19th, 2020 at 7:34 PM ^
Lookin like he might have a nice night as a 9er fan
January 19th, 2020 at 7:49 PM ^
Yeah. Tail whipping in progress. Fumble by Rodgers a problem for them.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:18 PM ^
I like Tennessee. They will shorten the game with Large doses of Henry. 24-21.
San Francisco will blow out the Packers. Their DL against the Packers OL is a huge mismatch. It will be glorious. 38-17.
January 19th, 2020 at 11:53 PM ^
Part of this was an excellent prediction.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:22 PM ^
Call stands...
January 19th, 2020 at 3:29 PM ^
Of all the playoff teams, I wanted the Patriots to win it all. My second choice was the Ravens and third KC. Following this trend, I expect the Titans to win.
In the NFC I want Green Bay to win by default because I don’t want to see Bosa’s racist ass to win anything.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:50 PM ^
Never heard the Bosa racism stuff. What happened?
January 19th, 2020 at 5:22 PM ^
Good try, Fredo. Kap is a clown. My ancestors were slaves.... guess what, this is still the greatest country in the world. If you don't like it, you and Kap are welcome to leave.
Go Chiefs!
Go Pack!
Fuck San Francisco and Fuck Vrabel.

Hey XM, I sent you an email yesterday morning
January 19th, 2020 at 3:32 PM ^
thanks for the heads-up. will check in a minute. and congrats on the new job, very happy for you.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:37 PM ^
Thank you so much my friend!
January 19th, 2020 at 3:31 PM ^
I played the AFC championship game 3 times in Madden 20 last night and Tennessee won every time
January 19th, 2020 at 3:33 PM ^
can someone tell me how the titans went through the regular season 9-7? they have looked great in these playoffs, but i saw exactly zero titan games this year before then.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:49 PM ^
I was wondering the same thing. Looking at their schedule, they split the games with everyone in their division even thought it’s not great aside from the Texans.
However, their worst losses were early in the season with Mariota. Going by the schedule, they look like a team that improved over the season, especially when they dumped Mariota. Tannehill lost his first game and at that point they were 2-4.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:35 PM ^
Two Michigan men in this game, who I’m not a huge fan of per some of their actions and characters issues. That said, both Taylor Lewan and Frank Clark are playing good football these days.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:50 PM ^
don't we all love a story of redemption? maybe both of those guys will get there. they are michigan men after all.
January 19th, 2020 at 7:28 PM ^
People don't change. Lewan was a hotheaded douche when he was here. I haven't read or seen anything that comes to redemption.
Go KC.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:49 PM ^
Mahomes is Aaron Rogers evolved. He makes more throws off his back foot than Jeff George back in the day, except they are accurate as can be.
Never seen a qb so effective throwing the ball while backpedaling, and rendering a good d-line and pressure almost innocuous.
January 19th, 2020 at 3:58 PM ^
Idiot Mathieu talking trash after he gives up a 1st down.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:02 PM ^
Maybe Clark shouldn’t have ran his mouth before the game. Henry looking like his normal self.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:02 PM ^
tennessee's #60 is so round that the weather is different on his front side than it is on his back side.
and the titans' just put mariotta in for a goaline play. interesting.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:02 PM ^
Frank Clark made a bunch of disparaging Pregame comments about Henry and how he's not that good of a running back. And now Frank Clark is getting his ass handed back to him which is very typical. The guy will never learn. He is trash
January 19th, 2020 at 4:04 PM ^
Fat Man TD!
January 19th, 2020 at 4:04 PM ^
Well I was kind a hoping for a rematch a Super Bowl I but I don't think it's gonna happen that way.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:05 PM ^
tackle eligible TD. very nice play.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:05 PM ^
Their partying down on Broadway in N"Ville. That used to be my hang back in the day.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:13 PM ^
And KC right back with a TD. Love good football games.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:14 PM ^
KC scores fast. Tennessee's best bet is to keep the ball a long time and hope they only give KC a few more possessions the rest of the game.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:30 PM ^
Great run by mahones. Loving this game so far.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:30 PM ^
KC has the lead. Doesn't look like Tennesse is going to stop them at all. KC probably pulls away now for a comfortable win.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:35 PM ^
Excellent first half. Always nice when championship Sunday has some good games. Often look forward to it more than super bowl Sunday.
January 19th, 2020 at 4:39 PM ^
Mahomes, man. What a run. He is so much fun to watch.
Good chance KC is up by 11 the next time Tennessee gets the ball... but I still think they’re right in this. Their offense is playing really well. A loooong TD drive followed by just one defensive stop and they have the ball in the fourth quarter with a chance to take the lead.
I won’t complain if Mahomes just lights everyone up, though.
January 19th, 2020 at 5:25 PM ^
Mahomes’ runs look like when I used to play NCAA with Denard using 4-verts on every other play. Imagine how bad he would shred defenses if he was fast.
