This weekend the four remaining teams in the NFL will battle for their respective conference championships. The match-ups feature the Green Bay Packers vs San Francisco 49ers and the Tennessee Titans vs Kansas City Chiefs. It should prove to be a defensive match-up between the Packers and 49ers both teams finishing the season with very effective defenses. The 49ers allowing the fewest yards per game by a big margin, so it will be interesting to see how Aaron Rodgers and his offense adjusts to face the best defense in the league. Now vice versa for the Titans and Chiefs, that is sure to be an offensive shootout. With Derrick Henry absolutely dominating in the playoffs right now, he is expected to destroy the Chiefs poor run defense, in addition, Ryan Tannehill has stepped up and has become a great starting quarterback who can lead this team. Tannehill’s best option is rookie wide receiver AJ Brown who has had an incredible season and is a candidate for offensive rookie of the year. Patrick Mahomes isn’t having the same season he had last year but he is still performing at a high level. Mahomes with his connections to Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill is due to shred up this poorly ranked Titans pass defense. These are going to be very exciting games and will determine who is playing in the Super Bowl. It would be ironic if it were the Packers vs Chiefs as that was the first-ever Super Bowl match-up and this is the 100th season of the NFL.
