Now that the AFC and NFC Championship matchups are set, this latest round of NFL picks and score predictions will help determine who heads to Super Bowl 53.

It all culminates in this—two final games to decide which teams will make the trip to Super Bowl 53. This season has been four straight months of madness, and now we’re only three weeks away from watching a bunch of grown men kiss a trophy.

Before Atlanta turns into the football capital of the world for a night, though, we have two Conference Championship games to watch. This will be the last game of the 2018 campaign for two teams, while the other two will punch their tickets to a showdown in Georgia for all the marbles.

So who will emerge victorious? Well that’s what I’m here to help you determine. Now I will admit my playoff picks haven’t been amazing up to this point. Last weekend, I was correct with half of the contests, but was only 1-3 in the Wild Card round. Despite that, I have full confidence in my picks for the Conference Championship round.

Who would have guessed this would be what the Conference Championship round looks like? Sure, the New England Patriots are always here. But no one could have predicted Patrick Mahomes would take the Kansas City Chiefs this far. The New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams aren’t complete surprises, but it’s exciting nonetheless to see a rematch of one of the best games of the 2018 campaign.

So without further ado, here are my NFL picks and score predictions for the AFC and NFC Conference Championship games this upcoming weekend.
