  • NFL Divisional Round recap, AFC & NFC Championship preview
    EPISODE 46 
    Big time upsets this week in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Both the AFC & NFC number 1 seeded teams get bounced out in this round. Titans might have been too comfortable with that first-round bye as they started off the game poorly. Evan McPherson hits the walk-off field goal to send the Bengals to the AFC Championship game. The San Francisco 49ers steal a win from Aaron Rodgers and the Packers and advance to the NFC Championship game. Aaron Rodgers and the offense didn't do enough to win a game where the opposing team's quarterback basically wasn't playing. We discuss whether this is Aaron Rodgers final season at Green Bay. Tom Brady almost does the impossible and tries to mount a comeback win against the NFC Championship-bound LA Rams. Josh Allen vs Patrick Mahomes, Bills @ Chiefs, one of the best games in history. We give our predictions on which teams win the AFC & NFC Championship games and advance into the Super Bowl.
