NFL Playoff Games on TV Today

AFC Divisional Playoff: Houston at Kansas City, 3:05 p.m. on CBS

These teams met earlier in Arrowhead Stadium this season with the Texans winning 31-24 back in Week 6. The talents of Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes were on full display in that game, as the two dynamic quarterbacks combined for 594 total yards of offense and six total touchdowns.

They also committed four turnovers. But the key for the rematch could be the improvement the Chiefs' defense has shown since the Week 12 bye.

Houston's defense also looked different last week against Buffalo with J.J. Watt back on the field. Winner of this game will host the surprising Tennessee Titans next Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.

Wow!

The Titans knocked off No. 1 seed Baltimore 28-12 on Saturday night a week after beating defending Super Bowl champion New England in the Wild Card Round.

This is it folks NFL Championship Playoffs this Sunday see your local stations for times and events.

I pick KC Chiefs by 7 points over Tennessee Titans :up: (which KC has only beat once in 9 games)

AFC Championship forecast

Service: The Weather Channel
Projected weather: Mostly sunny
Projected temperatures: 23 degrees (high), 8 degrees (low)
Game-time projection: Sun and a few passing clouds; much colder
Chance of rain: 0 percent

While there isn't even a slight chance of rain (or snow, in this case) listed for Sunday's game, this matchup will no doubt be a whole lot colder than the one being played later in the day -- and not just because we're talking about Missouri rather than California. Sunday afternoon is set to be the coldest time of the whole week in K.C., with temperatures climbing toward the 40s the following weekend. Does that mean much for the game? Not necessarily. But if the winds approach 15 miles per hour along with the cold conditions, it might be worth having a conversation about how the Titans are better suited for that kind of weather. The Chiefs, remember, thrive on the aerial attack, while Tennessee's bread and butter is grinding it out on the ground.

I love Green Bay, but it's the San Francisco 49ers turn for go to a Super Bowl

49ers by 2 points (the Packers have had a much easier schedule than the 49ers) :yep:

NFC Championship forecast

Service: The Weather Channel
Projected weather: Partly cloudy
Projected temperatures: 62 degrees (high), 46 degrees (low)
Game-time projection: Considerable cloudiness
Chance of rain: 20 percent

In other words, don't expect the weather to inhibit or heavily influence the game on Sunday night. Aside from heavy humidity and a small chance of rain, there's nothing to worry about here. Both teams might not be playing under sunny skies, but they might as well be doing so. Nothing should be off-limits in terms of game-planning, and since both sides tend to lean on the ground game anyway, the clear forecast shouldn't benefit one team over the other.

The Kansas City Chiefs are headed back to the Super Bowl
for the first time since 1970

35-24 victory over Tennessee Titans :up:

49ers 27 to Packers 7 3rd quarter 7 minutes left plus the 4th quarter

That eye-popping number — $10,000 per ticket without fees — is referencing overall average of ticket prices, not the “get-in” numbers for the cheapest seats. But even the nosebleeds for Super Bowl LIV have debuted at some jaw-dropping levels. As of Tuesday morning, get-in tickets on many of the large sales platforms were hovering between $4,200-$4,500 for a single ticket. With fees added in, that payout bloats to nearly $5,600-$6,000 per seat. Across all tickets available on the market, the average price is hovering at nearly $8,000 without fees.

Regular seats are only $4,200 to $4,500 :o

The Las Vegas Raiders were born Wednesday and the Oakland Raiders are history

Raiders owner Mark Davis, joined by Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak as well as some current Raiders players and alumni,

This young man Patrick Mahomes is the real thing

Super Bowl 2020: Patrick Mahomes is rolling out one of the best postseasons by a quarterback in NFL history

In the Chiefs' playoff opener, they fell into an immediate 24-0 hole to the Texans, a hole that Mahomes did not play a role in digging. The offense stalled in the early going due to dropped passes and the special teams essentially handed the Texans 14 points with a blocked and muffed punt. It didn't matter. In the span of a single quarter, Mahomes turned a 24-0 deficit into a 28-24 lead at halftime. He led the Chiefs to touchdowns on seven straight possessions. The Chiefs won 51-31, becoming the first team in NFL playoff history to win a game by at least 20 points after trailing by 20-plus points.

What companies are expected to air commercials this year?

FOX has prepared and sold 77 national ad slots for Super Bowl LIV. As has become tradition in recent years, however, companies are releasing commercials prior to the Super Bowl and plan to re-air them on the day of the game. Here is a list of the known companies that have released ads for this year’s Super Bowl:

How much does it cost to advertise during the Super Bowl?

By November, FOX had already sold out its advertising slots for as much as $5.6 million for each 30-second ad slot. All but one ad sold for more than $5 million and the total sales figures are estimated to top $400 million. CBS charged a record average of $5.25 million for 30-second ad slots in 2019, at which point the average price of a Super Bowl commercial had nearly doubled in just a decade.

San Fran 20 to KC's 31 :up:

Lot closer than it looked though :yep:

Well, It's official. Quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots will be playing elsewhere next season. Reports are that Brady will be playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this upcoming season. It's hoped the future Hall of Fame quarterback can revive a stagnant offense there. It's being reported Brady will be paid 30 million a season.

It's also been said that Problematic and exiled wide receiver Antonio Brown wants to rejoin Brady. In April of 2019, Brown was sued in court by a toddlers father who alleges his son was almost hit by furniture Brown threw from his balcony, almost striking the child. The owner of the apartment also sued Brown saying he skipped out on paying the rent and severely damaged his apartment.

If Brown does go with Brady. It will be a circus and I don't think Brady wants his reputation to be tarnished by a reunion with Brown.
