The end of the NFL season is almost upon us. Just three more games to go until our champion is crowned. We have two incredible conference championships to get to today though and we will find out who will be heading to New Orleans for the Super Bowl.

I will likely be adding some more picks before the games so make sure to check back.


Washington Commanders @ Philadelphia Eagles

This had felt like a tough game to pick all week, but I took a step back and looked at these teams and it is hard for me to go anywhere but the Eagles here. From top to bottom I just think they have the better roster. My only slight concern is Jalen Hurts health. He went down in the second half of the last game with a knee injury but it seems as if he will be ok to play. But for me, the keys to the game for Philly come in Saquon Barkley and Jalen Carter. You have two of the most dominant players on either side of the ball there and I think it will be hard for Washington to keep either out of the game. If they can be succesful, then I think they can drag the Eagles to another Super Bowl.

The Commanders have been the story of these playoffs so far. The upset of the Lions last week was a shock to the NFL world and they will be riding high. But I think this is where it comes to an end but this should be a very entertaining game.

Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs



This is a real head vs heart one for me. I would love to see Josh Allen and the Bills get over the line finally and make it to the Super Bowl. But I just can’t look past the Chiefs here. Kansas City just find a way to win in the playoffs. We saw last week that Travis Kelce has been saved up for these playoffs and when he is firing as he was, the rest of the offence goes with him. The Chiefs have looked so good in this run and at home in that incredible Arrowhead atmosphere, they are close to unbeatable.

That isn’t to say I don’t think the Bills have a chance. But they will need to play almost perfect – something they did do against the Ravens a week ago. For me, Allen is the MVP this season but it looks like once again he will be overlooked for Lamar Jackson. But doing that two weeks in a row is hard, and up against this fantastic Chiefs defence – one that is great against the run – will be so hard for them.
