My heart says 49ers

But you never bet against Brady. Im.convinced he sold his soul to the devil. We got in miraculously yesterday, but I think we were the indirect beneficiaries so Brady could face the eagles this week, lucky b*****d.

eagles defense matchup pretty well against them and no Godwin and AB wil hurt them.

Eagles offense is so streaky though I don't think Hurts is very good tbh and Bucs run D is impenetrable so they will have to rely on his arm and passing weapons which eagles lack.

Obviously im hoping for an eagles win so we can keep the chance of playing a home game alive and then that way we have an extra day rest to play the Rams/cardinals

Imagine the championship game being played in Santa Clara against the Eagles. Got to wonder what the Possibility % it is for that to happen...

Not as low as people think but yes 2 of the lowest seeds winning out is unlikely. Eagles matchup pretty well to the Bucs and packers defensively but the offense is the issue for them it just isnt very good

im a first year season ticket holder so i already have my tickets if it happens so im definitely hoping it does lol

I'll take Derrick Henry coming back from a mini vacation with fresh legs to remind the world how dominate he was before his time off.

I'm glad you pointed out the Super Bowl match-up history Dr_Bill_Walsh as it's something I am acutely aware of and among other trivial facts it catches my interest every year, and I kind of like to see rematches between organizations.

I still don't know why KC/PIT is on Sunday night with sooo many other good matchups. Sunday night blowout.

This is what I see. Chalk in the AFC and upsets in the NFC. Titans have time to get Julio and Henry right. Great coach. Good weapons. They have the recipe to defeat KC in the AFC Champ. The 49ers I just think we are too physical and battle tested. We've been in playoff mode since October and look at the quality wins. Played both one seeds to a field goal and should have had em both. Swept Rams, beat Bengals on road, beat Philly on road.

Probably out of respect for the QB play Mahomes vs Roethlisberger in what could be his finale.
