The NFL divisional round came to an end last weekend. The Chiefs beat the Colts, 31-13, the Rams beat the Cowboys, 30-22, the Patriots beat the Chargers, 41-28 and the Saints beat the Eagles, 20-14.

This means the Rams will play the Saints in New Orleans for the NFC Conference Championship on Sunday at 1:20 p.m. The game will be played on FOX.

After that, the Patriots will play the Chiefs in Kansas City for the AFC Championship on Sunday at 5:40 p.m. The game will be played on CBS.

The winners of those games will play each other in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, 2019 in Atlanta.

“I got Saints-Patriots,” sophomore Camden White said. “There’s no way Patrick Mahomes, a first year starting QB, beats Tom Brady.”

Some people are just hoping for a good matchup.

“Rams and Chiefs,” sophomore Nicholas Delgado said. “Because they’re the best.”

Other people based their decision off of the teams who haven’t been to the Super Bowl in a while.

“My husband likes the Patriots, so I’ll say the Patriots.” Mrs. Tiffany Ogden said. “I’d like to see the Rams because they’re closer to home and they haven’t won a Super Bowl in a while.”

The Chiefs are favored over the Patriots by three points, and the Saints are favored over the Rams by three points.
