The NFL’s conference championship games are scheduled for Sunday, January 26, with four teams vying for a coveted spot in Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans.
The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Buffalo Bills in a highly anticipated AFC Championship, while the Philadelphia Eagles will face the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship.
AFC Championship: Chiefs vs. Bills
The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a dominant 23-14 victory over the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round, and they will now look to keep their momentum alive as they host the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game.
The Bills, meanwhile, are fresh off a thrilling 27-25 win over the Baltimore Ravens, setting the stage for what promises to be a tight and exciting matchup in Kansas City.
Las Vegas has made its early projections, with the Chiefs slightly favored to win by one point in this close contest. The Chiefs will rely on their explosive offense and experienced leadership to get past the Bills, who have shown impressive resilience all season.
NFC Championship: Eagles vs. Commanders
In the NFC Championship Game, the Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Washington Commanders in an NFC East rivalry matchup. The Eagles, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, are coming off a dramatic snow-filled win over the Los Angeles Rams at Lincoln Financial Field.
However, Hurts has been dealing with a knee injury, and his status may be a concern heading into the championship game.
Despite this, Las Vegas still gives the Eagles a strong chance to advance, with the Eagles projected to win by five points. Washington, who upset Detroit in the Divisional Round, will look to pull off another surprise win and make their way to the Super Bowl.
The NFC Championship Game between the Eagles and Commanders will kick off at 15:00 ET, followed by the AFC Championship Game between the Chiefs and Bills at 18:00 ET. The NFC Championship will air on FOX, while the AFC Championship will be broadcast on CBS.
