I am thrilled to announce my 177th Scorum Sports Cast! You can find me @thesportsguru and I will be giving you the best 5-10 minute sports rants here on Scorum every day. On today’s episode I will preview the AFC and NFC Championship Games.

We are in for a real treat today when the NFL Playoffs keep rolling towards the Super Bowl. There are two fantastic games and I can’t wait for everything to get started this afternoon.

The first game will be the Los Angeles Rams at the New Orleans Saints. Kickoff is around 2pm Central Standard Time and the game can be seen on National Television on FOX. The Saints are 3 point home favorites and the over/under is 56.5 points. Although this game features two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, I think it will come down to the run games for both offenses, at least until late in the game.

Last week the Rams were unstoppable on the ground and their game plan will be similar today to ground and pound. The Saints defense has had their best season in decades but this Rams offense is incredible.

But I think the 4th quarter of this game will be an EPIC one and Goff and Brees will duel it out until the final whistle.

As far as the second game on the board, the New England Patriots will play at the Kansas City Chiefs. The weather is going to be an issue as the temps will be in the teens at kickoff at 5:40pm. That could definitely impact the passing game will the frigid temps. This game will be on National Television on CBS.

The point spread in this game is almost identical as the early game with the home team as a 3 point favorite and the over/under at 56. Brady vs Mahomes will be phenomenal and this will be one of the best AFC Championship games ever in my opinion. The 41 year old future Hall of Famer against the 23 year old up an coming Super Star.

Most of the country will be rooting for Mahomes and the Chiefs but part of me wants to see Brady in the Super Bowl one more time.

Regardless of who wins these games, any combination of these four remaining teams will give us a dynamite Super Bowl. Who are you rooting for today?
