AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
SUNDAY 21st JAN 20:05
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 20 @ 24 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
The AFC Championship game takes place first this Sunday and will be the Patriots 7th successive title game. Having beaten Tennessee Titans 35-14 last Saturday the Patriot's will now face the Jacksonville Jaguars at their Gillette stadium for a place in this season's Super Bowl LII. The Jags themselves put in another impressive performance to see off the Pittsburgh Steelars 45-42 and the scoreline flatters the Steelars who were always chasing the game and only scored a touchdown with one second remaining to make it look respectable. Even so Tom Brady's Pats will be a short price to go to yet another Superbowl but anything is possible.
New England win 24 - 20 to reach yet another Superbowl with Tom Brady, Bill Belichick setting yet more records on the way. And they will be up against the Philadelphia Eagles!!
NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
SUNDAY 21st JAN 21:40
MINNESOTA VIKINGS 7 @ 38 PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Later on Sunday night we'll find out whether the Minnesota Vikings can make some history by becoming the first side to appear in a Superbowl at their home stadium, but to do that and reach Superbowl LII they'll need to conquer the Eagles who despite losing their star quarterback Carson Wentz are still getting the job done. Back up Nick Foles is now one win away from glory which is remarkable as he nearly retired only two seasons ago. This game is too close to call, home advantage might not be enough to swing it for the Eagles though as they've had a tendency to turnover the ball too much and I personally think that the Vikings, with Case Keenum calling the shots, have been the better side all season offensively and defensively although should be a cracking game.
Vikings vs Patriots in the Superbowl is my call. We will see.
We shall update the final scores later over the weekend and then look forward to the Superbowl itself in a couple of weeks time, that will be LIVE on BBC TV here in the UK which is great.
