NFL Championship Weekend Picks From the MMQB Staff: Ravens and 49ers Will Be Tested

Our writers and editors pick winners in both games as the final four battle for a spot in Super Bowl LVIII.

One more duo of games, and the NFL world will have its two teams for Super Bowl LVIII. We’re officially nearing the end of the 2024 playoffs, and it’s all gone according to plan (some would say). The two No. 1 seeds will host their respective conference championships, with the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers hoping their home-field advantage will help propel them one last time.

The Detroit Lions are the only NFC team to have never made the Super Bowl. This weekend, Dan Campbell & Co. will look to change that in Santa Clara. The Kansas City Chiefs, on the other hand, are more used to being in this spot as they head to their sixth consecutive AFC title game.
