I've been back and forth on the 49ers and Eagles game in particular. I'm going to settle on Philly.

And I'm taking the Bengals, the team of destiny (and Patrick Mahomes' high ankle sprain being the other factor).

So that would set up a Cincy vs. Philly Super Bowl, if I'm correct.

great of a story as that young man is, not sure I like him in this matchup.

I see it being low-scoring, too. Two nasty defenses involved.

Agree on Bengals in no small part due to Mahomes' injury.

This was the outcome among those who ventured to guess the outcomes...

underpants 3-1

twodogsbarking 1-3

madinmaryland 1-3

ProfessorGAC 4-0

TrueDough 4-0

Of the three of us who participated in the Wild card round, we have a combined prognostication record of:

ProfessorGAC: 9-1

TrueDough: 9-1

Madinmaryland 6-4

Not too shabby.

I wasn't sure from that post if you were actually taking all the home teams because of all the spread talk.

So that makes you 7-3 over two rounds. Better than most of the self-proclaimed "betting pros" out there.

The victories have gone from 5 points to four and the three points. With that being said, the 49ers would win by two this time, if that trend holds up.

Fortunately, Joe Montana won't be there to rip my heart out again.

Our new Joe Cool will be able to deliver what Kenny Anderson (who should be in the HOF) and Boomer never did...a super bowl win.

now, not so much.

My heart wants to see Chiefs and Eagles, but I am afraid it will be Eagles and Bengals.
