As sad as it is, there are only two NFL Sundays left in the season. But this will be a massive one.
The latest: Both the NFC and AFC championship games feature matchups that bettors should be familiar with. The Eagles and Commanders will meet for the third time in less than three months, while the Chiefs and Bills are back at it for the fourth time in five postseasons.
Check out the NFL playoff schedule for the conference championship round and see the latest odds for both games.

NFC/AFC championship round
Commanders vs. Eagles
- Washington’s storybook season forges on, after Jayden Daniels guided his team to a pair of road upsets in the previous two weeks. Daniels, the No. 2 overall draft pick last year, had 350 total yards and two TDs in the divisional round against the then-Super Bowl favourite Detroit Lions.
- The Commanders won the most recent matchup between these teams (36-33 on Dec. 22), but Jalen Hurts exited early for the Eagles in that matchup. With a healthy Hurts under centre, Philly beat Washington at home, 26-18, in November.
- The Eagles have won nine straight home games, including seven in a row by at least six points.
- Philly has rushed for 454 yards on 6.7 yards/rush through two playoff games. The team ran for 200-plus yards in both matchups against Washington during the regular season.
Bills vs. Chiefs
- Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs are 3-0 SU and ATS against Josh Allen’s Bills in the playoffs (since January 2021). Last year, the Bills were 2.5-point home favourites but failed to defend a lead in the fourth quarter.
- Although winless against KC in the postseason during the Allen/Mahomes years, the Bills have won all four regular season meetings since 2021. That includes a 30-21 victory in Week 11 this year, in which Allen had 312 total yards and two TDs.
- Unders are 6-1 in KC’s past seven games. Despite an NFL-high 16 wins, the Chiefs have failed to surpass the 30-point marker in 16 of 18 games.
- Buffalo has the No. 2 scoring offence in the league (30.9 PPG), and overs are 7-2-2 in its games since Week 9.
