Super Bowl Contenders: Conference Championship Edition

By: Brennan Foster

Y’all remember when I gave my top three Super Bowl contenders in each conference last month?? Yeah? Well, every single team that is still in the playoffs was on each of those top three lists (Lions, Ravens, Chiefs, 49ers), so yes, I was perfect on my predictions. Now it’s Conference Championship Weekend, so I’ll break down the two games and tell you who’s going to be playing in this year’s Super Bowl.

AFC Championship

Kansas City Chiefs @ Baltimore Ravens

Sunday, January 28 @ 2:00 PM

Short and sweet. I’ve got the Ravens destroying the Chiefs. The Ravens are just the better team in every aspect and honestly, I don’t think the Chiefs stand a chance against Lamar and the Ravens. Oh, and Mark Andrews is coming back off the IR. Baltimore is going back to the Super Bowl. Ravens 35-17

NFC Championship

Detroit Lions @ San Francisco 49ers

Sunday, January 28 @ 5:30 PM

This one is a little tougher than the AFC. I’m going take the underdog in this one. Yes, the Lions are gonna win this game in my opinion. I think the Lions are going to have a good game plan against the 49ers offense, especially to contain Christian McCaffrey. And their offense is going to give San Francisco fits, just like they have every other defense in the league. The Jared Goff saga will continue on to Las Vegas in two weeks, as the Lions win this one in a close one. Lions 31-28

There you have it. Super Bowl LVIII, which will be held on February 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas will feature the fighting Dan Campbells, AKA the Detroit Lions, playing Lamar and the Baltimore Ravens. Stay tuned for my Super Bowl predictions OHS!
