Update: Chiefs are in. Packers-Niners up now.

Sorry, Pat.

Here it is, last stop before the Super Bowl. I think we can all admit that collectively everyone is hoping for a 49ers-Chiefs or Packers-Chiefs Super Bowl, even if everyone probably hates at least one of those teams. I doubt anyone is really hoping the Titans get there... which is why I want them to. My team’s season sucked (until the last few weeks, anyway) so I just want to watch the world burn.

Here’s how I would position the possible matchups:

The best possible game : 49ers-Chiefs. This one has the most potential to give everyone a memorable game. I really want to see what the Chiefs’ crazy offense can do against the Niners’ defense. From my past experience, a strong D always seems to win in the end. My prediction would be Niners over the Chiefs by a touchdown.

What the league probably wants : Packers-Chiefs. It would be really cool to cap off the league’s 100th season with a Super Bowl I rematch. I hope the result is the same, too. Fuck the Chiefs.

Could be interesting : Packers-Titans. This one strikes me as an entertaining possibility. The Titans are supposed to lose against teams like this but keep winning. And the Packers keep on chugging along knocking people out. I think this would be a toss-up.

Please, God no : 49ers-Titans. For some reason this seems like it would be a bad game. I think the Niners’ D would stop pretty much everything the Titans would try, and their offense would overwhelm the Titans.

Which one would you prefer to see?

I’d like to add in closing, I’m enraged that Randy Gradishar got snubbed YET AGAIN by the Hall Of Fame voters. I’m tired of this bullshit. He should have gotten in a long time ago.

State Farm is definitely hoping for Packers-Chiefs.

Kansas Chefs vs. Hooton Taxes

If Houston stole more signs, they would be playing today.

How many cars does Aaron crash to keep an insurance agent in h is permanent entourage? Does the agent insure Danica’s cars as well?

I'm pulling for the Titans at this point. I'd actually be pretty curious to see what they could come up with against the 49ers

Pretty sure that agent must be blackmailing Rodgers into being his friend. He's got some incriminating photos in a safe.

It could be interesting, but I think that's the least likely to happen.

I’m now imagining a Farmers style ad about cleaning up the aftermath of a heist to steal a disk of porno from a safe.

I like the Titans as the crazy underdog story, but their offense isn’t near as exciting. Very reliant on Henry, and he’s pretty spectacular, but 9ers have a very good run defense.

Are you kidding me with Mahomes right now? You see that TD run near the end of the first half?! Jesus

I really thought the Ravens were the unstoppable Force and great fun to watch this year. At this point I give everybody a chance except the Packers. I don’t think they have the stones to beat the 49ers this year.

KC just went up another score, but still not counting the Titans out, though KC seems to have all the momentum on both sides of the ball right now.

yeah, Chiefs are clearly better than the Titans.

As a Packer fan, oh boy, I’m not sure they’re better than anybody (except probably the Titans ). This is going to be too exciting for me in an hour.

Oh god Niners -Titans Super Bowl would be unwatchable. We’re safe from that disaster though.

Go Not Packers!

I could see the Packers doing it, but they can’t let the Niners get out to a lead first.

I hope they do, because I think that’s the matchup I'd  rather see in the Super Bowl.

Well I thought the Titans had a good chance of winning today, so I obviously know nothing, just hope it is a good game.

I love not watching football all year. Not only did I not know the games today were the conf championships, I also learned that the Chiefs are still a team

Are they still from KC?

Yes, yes they are. They're going to their first Super Bowl since I was -6 years old.

It’s time to sell the Packers and move them to St. Louis.

Yes, sell the team. All the "shareholders" can have a cut of the sale price.

Came back from my walk. 27-0 at halftime...

I thought both of these games would be stinkers. So I'm glad I chose to do other stuff than watch these.

34-7; I thought the Packers would have problems. This is unbelievable.

I don't know who this Mostert fella is, but he's a 1-man team tonight.

GB coaches never heard of him either.  Not sure what the hell GB coaches spent the week doing. Not sure why I’m still watching.

Its going to be a very red Super Bowl.

Me st the start of the game: Go pack Go

Me when Rogers fumbled a snap: No pack no

:(

I only pay attention to the playoffs, and there have been some great games This weekend and last. This was not one of them. I heard the Titans Chiefs was at least fun to watch.

Should we really give 360,76 0 people in Wisconsin $5k? They'll just blow it on sausages and crappy beer

Don’t feel bad, my team forgets Travis Kelce exists every time they play the Chiefs.

Can we make both teams wear all red Color Rush uniforms?

That's pennies compared to what Michael Bloomberg would spend to make Wisconsin like him.

I am willing to throw my full support behind this initiative.
