NFL championship round picks: Consider Bills and Eagles this weekend
Lorenzo Reyes is back with his best bet for the AFC and NFC championship games. He also threw in a couple of bonus player prop bets for those interested.
The NFL’s version of the Final Four is nearly set for kickoff Sunday, both berths in Super Bowl 59, which will be staged in New Orleans on Feb. 9, on the line.
The action starts at 3 p.m. ET with the NFC championship game, the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, after splitting their season series, in the biggest matchup of their storied history. Philly aims for its third conference title in eight seasons, while Washington is on the verge of its first in 33 years, that team winning Super Bowl 26.
Sorta the same old story in the AFC, the two-time-defending champion Kansas City Chiefs meeting the Buffalo Bills for the fourth time in the past five postseasons at 6:30 p.m. But will it be the same old story? K.C., two wins from the first-ever Super Bowl threepeat, is 3-0 against Buffalo during that stretch but has arguably never had more at stake.
