I was pulling for the Jags, Cowboys, Chargers and Bengals in the playoffs
I don't know about Prescott with the Cowboys...is it time for a change? Ezekial Elliot doesn't have ooomph he did when he was younger either
Of the four remaining teams, I'm pulling for the Bengals. I think they can beat KC next week. Is this the year they finally win a Super Bowl?

Bengals started the season 0-2. Joe Burrow and most of the offense didn't play in the pre-season. Burrow had an appendectomy in August. The O-line didn't play together until the first game. They played as bad as they possibly could in the opener against Pittsburgh and if not for a blocked PAT on the final play of regulation AND a missed FG in OT they would have won that game. BTW, the long snapper got hurt in the first game which threw off the timing for the kicker - the snaps were slow and high with the back-up.
Since the 0-2 start the Bengals are 14-2 (the loss to Baltimore was on a last second FG after they had taken the lead with under 2 minutes to play). They played the Bills with three back-up O-linemen. They missed Chase for 4 games, both DE's missed games. Mixon missed a couple games. DJ Reader missed 4 games. Their top corner, Chidobe Awuzie, tore his ACL in game 8 and hasn't played since. The Bengals also haven't lost since -10 wins in a row.
This team is a complete team. Burrow is so confident and unshakeable. They don't care what the experts say, they don't have egos, they don't care where they play - they've won at New England, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Buffalo. Better send those refunds, they have to play us!

Even in the Daultan playoff days there was no real excitement in the air. I was able to take my son to both of the Daultan playoff games and was able to get tickets for half price. With Burrow those tickets are a couple hundred at a minimum. The spread from the game has shifted from +1.5 to -1.5 and could see it going higher. No doubt my money will be heavy on the Bengals. |

I have money on the Bengals to win the whole thing as well, but I’m slightly worried they’ve beaten the Chiefs so much lately they’ll be looking past a gimpy Mahommes…I think they’re the better team, but the game being at Arrowhead makes it dangerous. I think if they win on Sunday they match up much better with Philly than San Francisco….The 49ers have by far the best defensive line in the NFL and that is a team that could exploit the Bengals being down three offensive linemen. The Bengals actually matchup better with Philly |

These Final Four are truly the best teams in the league. No Cinderellas.
I honestly have NO IDEA who will win from this group. I could make a case for any of them.
Philly has been strong all year. Well balanced, offense and defense. Hurts has been playing at a very high level. But, how bad is his shoulder, really?
San Fran's addition of McCaffrey made them an immediate contender. Their defense is incredible, and they're pretty healthy. Big question seems to be: How long will Purdy keep playing the way he is? Wasn't that Brady guy a late round draft pick? I'm not betting against Mr. Irrelevant.
KC still has Mahomes and Kelce. As long as those two are playing, they have a real shot at winning.
The Bengals are playing as well as anybody right now. Joe is the "coolest" QB I've seen since Montana. He's unflappable and fiercely competitive. The Cincy defense has been quietly competent all year. They're not the BEST. But, they're good at every level.
It's going to be fun watching these teams slug it out.

There, I’ve just guaranteed an Eagles/Chiefs Super Bowl!! |

So both my college and NFL teams lost due to last second field goals - both on the brink of playing in the biggest game of the year. Very tough ways to lose for sure.
I was on the fence as to who to favor in the Super Bowl but after Travis Kelcey's post game comments....GO EAGLES!!! Obviously all these guys are professional players - and I include some Bengals in this comment, but many of them have a lot to learn about being professional.
