I'm going to pick the home teams this week. Chiefs vs 49ers Super Bowl.

However, the Titans are playing outstanding football.. I certainly didn't think they'd make it this far. It's been a long time since we've seen a back do what Derrick Henry has done the last few weeks, if it has ever happened. Titans vs Chiefs preview: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/game-previews/2020/afc-championship-preview-2020

both road teams are winning on sunday.

Titans need to play defense to stop KC. The Chiefs are like the Chip Kelly-era Oregon Ducks....they rely on fast, quick scores, but have very little defense. Their MO is not to stop the other team, it is to outscore the other team. TN beat them in the regular season...they could do it again. However, after a 50 year hiatus I think KC finally return to the Super Bowl.

San Francisco's defense is legit. Kyle Shanahan is legit, creative and smart. I think Shanahan out coaches GB's HC and Salah and his star studded D stifle Rodgers.

SUPER BOWL Prediction: KC v SF. High octane offense vs bruising Defense. My money is always on Defense overpowering and stopping the offense.

Imagine in the 100th Anniversary of the league if we have a Super Bowl 1 reunion w/KC v GB Super Bowl.

I'm Picking KC over Tennessee, to much fire power unless the Titans get the lead and control the clock ..

I'm Picking GB over SF Rodgers ism rolling now ...

Tennessee needs to shorten the game, make Mahommes forced to press and hope for turnovers.

If KC doesn't turn the ball over, the Titans do not have a chance.

Chiefs and Niners blowouts!

I am under the impression that defense and run games still win championships.

Titans vs 49ers in SB.

I'm rooting for the Packers so that we can hire Joe Woods already. Pettine needs to do us a favor and make it happen.

I'm hoping the 49ers lose so we can get our offensive coordinator sooner.

Woopty Freakin Do!

Home teams win, I think, but I wouldn’t be shocked if either of the road teams won, too. I’m in a playoff pool and I’ll win $100 if KC wins the SB, so I’m in their corner.

KC and San Fran both win. 49ers D is too good and KC will jump out early, making Henry less of a threat.

I think the Packers will get boat-raced in SF, just like they were earlier this year. Tennessee has a chance if Derrick Henry can gash the Chiefs early and often, like he did when they played KC earlier this year. Titans will also need to force some turnovers to win, IMO. Otherwise, its a Niners-Chiefs Super Bowl.

Fixed it for you.

Niners - Chiefs, Chiefs win it all.

Want to bet on that?

Chiefs vs. 49ers.

Titans and Niners

Man, I'm really rooting for the Titans. Nashville is on FIRE right now!

For a style of ball people say is outdated and the past, the Titans have shown that's simply not true. They made a mockery out of the Ravens "new style" of football. I grew up in the time of the big, bruising RB's who just beat you down and wore you out through all four quarters of the game. That by the fourth quarter, were just running all over you. I love that style of football. That combined with a bruising defense and you have a winning formula.

Alas I still give KC the edge. If they get out to an early lead, the Titans just aren't built to come back from that. However, Andy Reid has a reputation, and rightfully so, of blowing the big games.

The Green Bay verses 49'ers game I look to be a blow out with the 49'ers running away with it.

So prediction?

A 49'ers verses Kansas City SB.

My hope?

A 49er's verses Titans SB.

I’ll say SF and KC meet in the title game

KC and the Packers.

I usually don’t have a favorite in the playoffs but this year I really want to see the Titans brand of trench domination, sound tackling and zone blocking/run down your throat win the day. The last 4 games of theirs I’ve watched I keep flashing to my Browns and thinking this is who we should be!

They also seem to have the magic this year. Going to foxburough and beating the patriots and then going into Baltimore and beating the Ravens is a pretty stunning stretch of road games. Plus them against the 49ers in the SB would be very very interesting from an X&O standpoint.

As much as the comparison pains me, the Titans remind me of the Steelers the year they got in and won all their games on the road on their way to the one for the thumb. (Correct me if that wasn’t the right year). I feel like no one wants a piece of the Titans right now. Any of them would almost prefer to play any of the other three than the Titans. There’s zero mystery to what they’re going to do, you are either going to beat them on the line of scrimmage/ front 7 or you won’t.

I thought the first game was on at 1:00 ... dang, another 2 hours to wait

+1

People are sleeping on the Packers defense and run games. They are pretty good, too, and a hot Rodgers probably trumps Jimmy G.

I'm not sure it's as foregone a conclusion as some are making out.

The ghost of Hank Stram will help the Chiefs matriculate down the field into the Super Bowl.

Adam Humphries active for TEN

Man do I miss watching my Browns play in the championship, I watch them play the Packers in 1965, the Colts in 1968, the Vikings in 1969, I count the Raiders in 1980 because that was the winner take all, the Broncos in 1986-87-89 I long for the Browns to win again ...

I’m jealous of you. I’ve literally never seen the browns do anything of note

First pregame is all about Derek Henry,
little coveragae about the Titans stopping Mahomes.

Surprising to me.

Sorry just reminiscing but those were good times

haha yeah I’m just messing ... I’ve heard it was awesome

Every year we can see it to some extent more or less,

Pressuring the quarterback .. WILL NOT! .. be enough to get teams out of this round and on to the Super Bowl.

It takes another umph. from the offense.

Quarterback pressures alone, is NOT enough to get teams past the Championhship rounds and into the Super Bowl.

You can see it every year, just watch.

Can the Browns keep their top 4 Tight Ends on the team by opening day 2020?
I mean, can they return their top 3 tight ends from this past year and have one name in the mix to add depth?

It's what is on my mind.

I hope we keep RSJ and Stefanski gives Njoku the chance Freddie wouldn't ...

hmm. Maybe. May have fixed it.

Do people know the context of the U.S. national anthem?

The context, Francis Scott Key, wrote it,

The words to a tune that was already around,

He was in a jail, or prisoner of war, or in a cell, and infirmed in a bed, (I presume), and has to ask another person, (presumably another person captured)

And the question goes out if the City, if the City or Fort had withstood the onslaught of the British forces attempt to take/subdue it,

And the evidence would be the flag on the flagpole,
And the night before the battle raged on and as morning rose, the Words are asking what the outcome of the battle was.
