2023 NFL Conference Championship Games

San Francisco 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles (-2.5) -  The 49ers may have a better defense and some flashy skill position players in Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey but the the Eagles seem to have the better quarterback in Jalen Hurts.   Not to mention their running game has been pretty reliable with Miles Sanders.  Wideout A.J. Brown has also been very consistent and would have even better numbers if some of the Eagles games were closer this season.  The 49ers can key in on the Eagles rushing attack and make things difficult for Hurts although perhaps Purdy will be tested on the road for the first time this playoffs who looked shaky at times against Dallas's defense.   


 Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5) @ Kansas City Chiefs - The Bengals come in hot after after a convincing victory against the Buffalo Bills.   The Chiefs were able to control the game with Mixon running the ball, even Burrow outrushed Josh Allen.   The Chiefs are looking to avenge their postseason loss from last season but a few factors are working against them.   Mahomes is coming off a high ankle sprain which could limit.  The bigger thing to worry though is how the Chiefs will hang with the Bengals offensively.  Unlike the last season where the Chiefs cruised to the championship, the Chiefs have been struggling a great deal even against lesser teams.   Perhaps this is due to the departure of Tyreek Hill.  Kelce still remains the best tight end in football and Pacheco has emerged as decent running back but the Bengals are posed to make a super bowl run even if they will be tested on the road in Kansas City.  The Chiefs defense will have to find a way to slow down both Jamarr Chase and Tee Higgins.
