Picking the Chiefs to beat the Lions based on nostalgia is ignorant.
Mahomes has never beat Goff in an NFL game, and both games have been at Arrowhead.
Picking the Eagles to beat the Lions is just belligerence.

Erik Beaston: Lions overs Chiefs
Beaston of Bleacher Report writes: “The Detroit Lions fell short of their first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history last season, losing a sizeable lead and dropping the NFC Championship Game to San Francisco. In 2024, they returned with a furious vengeance, blowing out the opposition and establishing themselves as the No. 1 seed in the conference for the majority of the year. Sunday night, they confirmed that seed with a dominant, 31-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. It was the latest test the team had to pass on their way back to the playoffs, with the goal of righting the wrongs of last season by advancing to the Super Bowl and hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for the first time in the 93-year history of the organization. The MVP-level play of quarterback Jared Goff, the development of Jahmyr Gibbs as a starting running back, the emergence of Jameson Williams, and an intense and aggressive defense that reflects the attitude of head coach Dan Campbell have the Lions poised to do just that. The Philadelphia Eagles are the team’s greatest threat, thanks in large part to their No. 1 rushing attack, but the Lions look and feel like the best the league has to offer. Assuming there are no significant injuries, and Goff does not take a step back and start throwing the ball to the other team, there is no reason not to believe the Lions can advance to New Orleans and defeat whichever team emerges from the AFC. This season has very much been defined by Detroit’s revenge tour and it will culminate with a new world champion crowned on Feb. 9 in the Caesar’s Superdome.”
Steve Serby: Lions 34, Ravens 31
Serby of the New York Post writes: “Aidan Hutchinson (broken leg) makes an emotional cameo comeback against all odds. A redemption Super Bowl for Goff after getting schooled 13-3 by Bill Belichick in LIII. Alex Anzalone and Jack Campbell engage Henry in a game of bully ball to force Jackson to duel Goff in a shootout. Jake Bates kicks the game-winning field goal as time expires. Motown is Titletown.”
That would be fantastic. meanwhile I will remain nervous
and excited at the same time until it happens.
No they weren’t
Mexico City baby
Rematch LIX
Let win the divisional round first!!
It wasn’t even there. It was supposed to be but the game had to be moved to the LA Coliseum
The game was supposed to be in Mexico City but the field was destroyed by a concert so the have was played in the LA Coliseum.
Why don’t I remember this?
Such a Mexico thing to do lol
I believe it was due to a natural disaster that the game had to be played in LA
Some people in the media just ain’t picking against the Chiefs until they lose.
AFC is real tough… Bills likely gonna have to beat Lamar and Mahomes in KC to go to the super bowl. Allen has earned it if he pulls that off.
Both the Lions and the Chiefs will be playing on Saturday. I wonder which one gets the early game or the night game?
Logically I’d think…
Lions vs Commanders 4:30
Chiefs vs Chargers 7:30
Saturday January 18th
