I really do not have a dog in this fight . My Titans got eliminated last week. But since I am in Texas I will root for the Cowboys by default .

How about you guys ??

    My Son is going to the Bengals/Ravens game on Sunday with friends.

    Last year he, his wife and a small group of friends were guests of the Bengals - had a once in a lifetime trip to the SuperBowl with perks and team access...this year it's back to the recliners and snacks on Superbowl Day.

    Giants fan here! Been a long time since they were in the playoffs. Head Coach Brian Daboll rested the starters last week because the game had no playoff implications. This means the team has no players on injured reserved. Sunday we play the Vikings in Minnesota. We lost to the Vikings in the last seconds of the game on Christmas Eve. Expecting a close game again with my fingers crossed.

    At the beginning of the season, the Giants were not expected to go this far. So keeping the playoffs realistic. I don't expect to go to the Super Bowl, but would love to see the Giants win tomorrow!

    Interesting game saw the last 6 minutes. Tom Brady was trying to stage a late-game comeback. I hope the player leaving on the stretcher is okay today. It started to look similar to the Hamlin incident for a few minutes. Saw the kicker for Dallas set a record for the most missed extra points in a game. Dallas is on to San Fransico to take on the 49ers. That should be a tough game. Congratulations on the win!

    The Giants are on the way to Philly this weekend. They played last weekend but most starters sat on the bench. Looking for revenge for the early season loss! NFC East games are usually old-fashioned, tough, defense low scoring grind them out football.

    The Bengals also won!

    Well, the Giants got Blown out on Saturday. The match-up this weekend for the NFC Championship is Philadelphia Eagles at home playing the San Francisco 49ers.

    The AFC title game is the Cincinnati Bengals vs The Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

    Picking the Super Bowl will be Eagles vs. Bengals

      I could be wrong but I do not see the Chiefs losing to the Bengals at home. Burrow would have to have an incredibly special game. ( but who knows he just might)

        I saw the highlights earlier in the week when Mahomes injured his ankle. At that point, if he could not start, I went with Cinci. Now that he is starting. I'm not sure how he will play. but will stick with my prediction.

    Wow, what a game. Feel really sorry for that Bengal player who got the penalty for roughing the passer at end of game. But it was definitely the right call.

    Dwolfe, Pacheco played real good for the Chiefs. He is a Rutgers man from what I gathered.

    A lot of calls by the Refs in the Chiefs game were horrible. Especially the call, about the time on the clock. That should have been a 4th down, not a do-over. Because the ref blew the whistle and no one heard him. I do agree the last call was correct. Just a shame the play decided the game right there. If not it would have been a long field goal or possibly the game going into overtime.

    Yep, Pacheco played for the Scarlet Knights. He has a tragic background. His sister and brother were both murdered. But that is what motivates him to succeed in life.

    Going to watch parts of the game at home. I don't have a real preference for whoever wins the game. If the game is a blowout, I will switch to something else. Chief fans claim Philly has an easier schedule. So they should win in their minds. Yet the Eagles are a tough team, cannot count them out. Either way, looking forward to a close game.

    A decent Superbowl. Was disappointed in the ending. But the Chiefs played it smart. Would have loved if they scored a TD to see if the Eagles could answer.

    Btw, the halftime was really something with the 'floating' stages. Surprised Rihanna would do that being pregnant.

    Decent game Eagles looked good in the first half, Chiefs took over in the second half. Mahomes always seems to stage a comeback. At least he was able to start the 3rd quarter with his ankle injury a little earlier in the game. You could tell he was in pain when he went to the sidelines.

    I switched channels to skip the half-time show. I have no interest in watching any star perform during the half. The league should let the host stadium choose a local Marching band to put on a show. It's a great way to showcase local talent.

    As far as the commercials I skipped most of them. However the few I did see, the best one was the Amazon one with the dog. Also, Serna Williams playing golf commercial was funny. Some of the others were just dumb!
