AFC and NFC championship predictions: Preview, odds, props and injury report

Who will advance to the Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona?

That will be decided Sunday, when the San Francisco 49ers visit the Philadelphia Eagles for the NFC championship and the Kansas City Chiefs host the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC title game.

The 49ers return to the NFC championship after losing to the eventual-Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams 20-17 in Inglewood last season.

Kansas City is back playing for the AFC championship for a fifth straight season — all taking place at GEHA Stadium.

The Chiefs and Bengals game is a repeat of last year’s conference title game, won by Cincinnati 27-24.

Quick analysis

These weekend games could come down to the final minute. That’s how closely matched the teams are, and that’s the way it should be. ... San Francisco is 2-5 on the road in the NFC championships. ... 49ers defense will hope to slow down Eagles QB Jalen Hurts. They are more than capable of doing that, but it’s really going to come down to the San Francisco offense. ... Can Brock Purdy keep his poise?

The Chiefs and Benglas game has the makings of being another good one. ... Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain against the Jaguars, but made it through that game and said he’s good to go this week. ... Can Cincinnati go back to KC and pull off another win in the AFC championship?

NFC prediction: 49ers 23, Eagles 17

AFC prediction: Bengals 33, Chiefs 30
