Score Predictions for AFC/NFC Championship Games

Every week, I'll release a prediction for every game in the NFL. Here's how I see things going down in the championship round of the playoffs.

WILD CARD PICKS: 3-1.

SEASON PICKS: 175-104.

Chiefs at Ravens

Patrick Mahomes silenced the critics last week by winning his first-ever road playoff game and defeating a red-hot Bills team in cold conditions. This week, it will be Lamar Jackson who silences the critics and saves the football world from witnessing a Taylor Swift Super Bowl. Baltimore has quietly been one of the best teams in the NFL all season and today, they make their mark as the best team in the AFC.

Prediction: Ravens 23, Chiefs 20.

Lions at 49ers

With Jonah Jackson out and Frank Ragnow having to fight through multiple injuries, it's hard for me to side with the Lions despite how bad I want to pick the upset. If the Lions were at full strength up front, I'd probably pick them to hoist the George Halas Trophy. The San Francisco front seven will create some interior pressure and get after Jared Goff.

Prediction: 49ers 28, Lions 21.

Carolina Will Have a New Offensive Coordinator in 2024
