Championship Sunday Schedule Jan. 29

[milestogo]

NFC Championship

(2) 49ers at (1) Eagles, 3 p.m. ET (Fox, stream on fuboTV). The NFC's top-two seeds will be meeting in Philadelphia in what should be a showdown of epic proportions. The Eagles will be showing up with the NFL's third-highest scoring offense from the 2022 season and the 49ers will be looking to slow it down with a defense that gave up the fewest points in the NFL.

AFC Championship

(3) Bengals vs. (1) Chiefs 6:30 p.m. ET (CBS, stream on Paramount+). The Chiefs will get another crack at taking down a Bengals team they just haven't been able to beat. Since January 2022, the Chiefs have gone 0-3 against the Bengals, including a loss in last year's AFC title game. This will game will mark the first rematch the AFC Championship has seen in back-to-back seasons since Ravens-Patriots in 2011 and 2012.

1. While my team is out, I'm pulling for the Chiefs..

Their game against the Bengals will be a good one! I think the winner wins the Super Bowl. I wouldn't be upset with Cincy winning it all if the Chiefs can't.

Go Niners!!

6. I suspect that Joe Burrow will out-work everyone else...

... to prepare for Sunday, but I don't know if it'll be enough to win at Kansas City again.

I'm hoping for a Bengals win since they're my local team.

7. I think this is Burrow's year to shine.

They will beat KC on Sunday and beat the Eagles in the SuperBowl.

8. I hope so!

I was amazed how well all of those Bengals back-up offensive linemen played against the Bills! They'll need to keep doing it going forward, since it's still a team sport.

Joe Burrow during the 2020 NFL Combine:

"I think it's my mental capacity in the game," Burrow said last week at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. "I prepare better than anybody else. My physical traits are limited compared to some of the guys here. Everyone can see it."

"I have to be smarter. I have to prepare better and I have to know what's happening before it happens so I can play fast."

He witnessed a lot of hard-working people growing up in Southern Ohio, mostly getting jack-squat for their effort.

He threw 63 TD passes with only 2 INT's during his senior year in high school, so his later success certainly wasn't a big surprise to me. Parade All-American too, for scholastic achievements.
