This is the final week where we will have multiple games to watch -- otherwise known as Championship Sunday. It's the at in the AFC, and the at in the NFC.

The Bengals upset the Chiefs, 34-31, to clinch the AFC North for the first time since 2015, while the 49ers Phil Hughes Jersey orchestrated a second-half comeback to defeat the Rams in overtime, 27-24.Here are some things to keep in mind as we head into Sunday: In every playoff game played this postseason, the winning team has covered the spread.

The Bengals have been my kryptonite in the playoffs, as I'm 0-2 in picking their postseason games. The Chiefs falling to the Bengals in Cincy earlier this month just makes me think Kansas City is going to win this game. When the Bengals beat the Chiefs in Week 17, Kansas City did not po se s the ball for the final 6:01 of the game. That shouldn't happen again. When the Bengals beat the Chiefs in Week 17, had the best game in Bengals receiving history with 266 yards and three touchdowns. That is not going to happen again. is 7-1 at home in the playoffs, with the lone lo s coming to in Mahomes' first season as a starter. The Chiefs are averaging 36.5 points per game in home playoff games when Mahomes starts, and have averaged 42 points scored this postseason. You know how many points the Bengals are averaging in two postseason games? 22.5. That's just 1.5 points more than what the scored against the Minnesota Twins Jersey Chiefs in Super Wild Card Weekend, and they lost by 21.I think the Chiefs win, which means I should lay the seven points with them since every victorious team has covered the spread this postseason. I understand buying half a point or even just playing a teaser, but I'll lay seven with the team that is making history by hosting four consecutive conference championship games. The pick:Chiefs -7Projected score:Chiefs 24- Kennys Vargas Jersey 33Sunday, 6:40 p.m. ET (Fox) Latest Odds: Los Angeles Rams -3.5 The Rams were swept by the 49ers in the regular season. There's no way they go 0-3 against , right? A team losing three times to one opponent in the same season hasn't happened since 2017. Additionally, if L.A. loses on Sunday, it would be Sean McVay's seventh-straight lo s to Kyle Shanahan. The last time a head coach lost to an opposing head coach seven straight times was Marvin Lewis and his Bengals struggling against Mike Tomlin's Steelers.San Francisco's comeback against the Rams in Week 18 was incredible, but I don't think that happens again. The 49ers' postseason run has been impre sive, but it certainly hans't been perfect. They almost blew a lead to the in the first round and needed a blocked punt touchdown to down the last weekend. hasn't been in this situation before, but I think he's ready for it. He threw for 366 yards and two touchdowns last week against the and orchestrated a game-winning drive. He's not going to let this opportunity to play in the Super Bowl in his new home stadium slip through his fingers. His legacy is still being established. The pick:Rams -3.5Projected Kent Hrbek Jersey score: Rams 27-20
