Any of these 4 remaining teams are good enough to win it. It's just a matter of who executes the better game plan and limits their mistakes. As an NFL fan I'm excited to see these upcoming conference championships as well as the Super Bowl. All 4 have explosive offenses which should result in high scoring games relative to previous championship games.
AFC- Patriots at Chiefs: It's hard to pick against the Patriots because no matter the situation, they win most of the time. Brady and Belichick have been doing this for a LONG(since 2001) time and no game or moment is too big for them. I, like a lot of people, keep waiting and thinking that maybe this is the year that they FINALLY look old or that their reign is over. Somehow, they execute a game plan offensively and/or defensively that exploits the other teams weaknesses. I think as long as Brady is still effective, they will keep winning along with Belichick coaching also. But..the Chiefs have already beaten them this year so that mental hurdle is gone.
Plus, the Chiefs are at home which against the Patriots doesn't mean as much, but it's much better for them than having to play the Patriots in New England in the playoffs. The Chiefs with Mahomes can put up a lot of points, and fast as well as anyone.
Defensively, the Chiefs are going to have to get to Brady to disrupt the offensive timing much like the Giants did when the Giants beat them in the Super Bowl twice. Although that's true of any team, it is ESSENTIAL in beating the Patriots because Brady isn't as effective outside the pocket or when he is forced to make plays on the run. I think if the Chiefs can do that, then they will probably win because their offense is so hard to stop.
NFC-Rams at Saints: Both teams can beat you running or throwing and have and have numerous weapons to try to stop. These 2 teams are the most complete teams offensively and defensively in the NFC and probably the league along with the Chiefs.
This will be the first time in a game of this magnitude for the majority of these Rams and their head coach(as head coach). The Saints have already beaten the Rams this season so the Rams will need to figure out how to beat them this time around. Plus, the Saints are TOUGH to beat at home in the dome playing on their own familiar surface.
Brees and Peyton have been in this situation before and have already won a Super Bowl together so the game won't be too big for them at least.
In both of these games it will probably come down to whoever has the ball at the end with a chance to win. All 4 of these QB's are great passers and accurate.
AFC-I think Mahomes mobility and creativity is enough to get the job done so I think the Chiefs will win.
NFC-I think the Saints are to tough at home and win a very high scoring game with the Rams not capitalizing on Saints errors/misfortunes and making mistakes themselves at key moments.
Super Bowl-Chiefs over Saints
Having said all that, I hope I'm WRONG and the Patriots and Rams win!
