NFL Conference Championship Games 2024: Key Matchups to Watch, Betting Odds, TV
Only three games are left in the NFL season. On Sunday, we’ll watch two of them.
In the AFC championship game, it’s a battle of seasoned and new. The Baltimore Ravens have long been contenders but, at the same time, playoff flops. This season appears different, with Baltimore reaching its first AFC title game since the 2012 season.
Conversely, this is the sixth straight year for the Kansas City Chiefs, who have represented the conference in the Super Bowl three of the past four campaigns. For Patrick Mahomes, he knows nothing else, having reached this round every year of his starting career.
In the NFC, it’s the San Francisco 49ers hosting the Detroit Lions in a situation that somewhat mirrors the early game.
San Francisco is playing in the conference title contest for the fourth time in five seasons, while the Lions haven’t been this far since 1991, the only other time they’ve reached this stage in the Super Bowl era.
So who goes on and who goes home? Let’s dive into the details of each matchup.
