The Kansas City Chiefs are still standing, but they’ve still got to deal with some heavyweights ready to finally add some new fingerprints to the Lombardi Trophy.
With the conference championship games upon us, it’s still all about the Chiefs’ quest to become the first three-peat Super Bowl winners. They’re just two wins away from football immortality, but joining them in the NFL’s Final Four are a pair of opponents desperate for a title and a new squad eager to crash the party.
There’s a 50-50 chance to get a Super Bowl rematch. If the two hosts win this weekend, the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will enact a second take of Super Bowl LVII. If it’s the two road winners, though, the Buffalo Bills and Washington Commanders will renew acquaintances from a lifetime ago at Super Bowl XXVI.
Once again, The Athletic has solicited a panel of coaches and executives from around the league to predict the winners. As a reminder, picks were not solicited from anyone in the panel if their team is involved in one of the games this weekend.
