The 2019 NFL Conference Championships are here! Hard to believe, honestly…it feels like only yesterday that we were talking about the NFL’s 100th season approaching. We were getting ready for Bears-Packers on that Thursday night in September…we blinked….and now only four teams remain. It’s one of the few dates on the calendar I circle to make sure that we get one of our trademark patented drinking games out to the masses. As for the games themselves, I think we’re in for a pretty entertaining Sunday.
Both of the AFC teams are red hot heading into the AFC Championship. The Tennessee Titans have had to go on the road for the duration of the playoffs, but they seem to be relishing that role. They knocked the Patriots out, and then went into Baltimore’s house and stunned the top-seeded Ravens…a team that appeared to be a shoo-in for the Super Bowl just a couple of weeks ago. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs just hung 51 on the Houston Texans AFTER going down 24-0.
It’s going to be a clash in styles, and even though the Chiefs are favored by 7.5, I think it’s going to be a close game.
In the NFC, the top seeded San Francisco 49ers handled their business by whooping up on the Minnesota Vikings in what was essentially a tune-up game for the NFC Championship. They look like the most complete team left standing, but these Green Bay Packers have kinda flown under the radar all season long. This is going to be a scrappy team with a proven Hall of Fame quarterback. I expect no shortage of fireworks.
It’s my favorite football day on the calendar, baby. LFG!
