2019-20 NFL Postseason: AFC and NFC Championship Game Predictions


1. Kansas City Chiefs

- Tennessee Titans running back, Derrick Henry, is considered one of the best running backs in the game. He ran over New England and Baltimore's defense in this year's postseason. I expect him to make a big impact on Sunday's game against Kansas City. I can see him scoring a touchdown or two against that Chiefs defense. However, I don't think this will be the game that Ryan Tannehill can win. He has passed for less than 100 yards in both postseason games and is playing in one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL in Arrowhead Stadium.

Kansas City has too much to play for. Kansas City lost to Tennessee, on the road, earlier this season, lost to them in the 2017-18 NFL Wild Card game, and lost to New England in the AFC Championship game last season. For the Chiefs, they know that this is the year that they have to get to the Super Bowl. They will need to win this game by passing the football with quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. More pressure is on Kansas City to win this game, if they do not win this game, people on this organization will start losing their jobs. That's why I got the Chiefs winning this game.

2. San Francisco 49ers

- It is hard to beat a team twice in a year. San Francisco defeated Green Bay in Week 12 by a score of 37-8. I feel that San Francisco knows that Green Bay could be favorites in the game since they want to have revenge on them. So, as a result, I think the 49ers will play better and harder than before. I unfortunately feel that this could be the game that questions the legacy of Aaron Rodgers. He is a good quarterback as I think he can throw the ball farther than any quarterback in the NFL. However, I think the 49ers have better offensive weapons and a better defense than Green Bay. Honestly, if Seattle would have beat Green Bay, I might have the Seahawks beating the 49ers in the NFC Championship game because of the intense rivalry that both of these teams have. That's why I got the 49ers winning this game.
