The NFL 2025 postseason continues with the conference championships, where the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles will face off in the NFC Championship Game and the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs will square off in the AFC Championship Game for a spot in Super Bowl LIX.

Greif: Philadelphia will beat Washington in the NFC because the Commanders’ defense has been leaky (allowing 25.5 points per game in the postseason, 9.5 more than Philadelphia), while the Eagles have ranked among the league’s elite defenses all season; by one metric, they stand tied for the league lead in allowing the lowest success rate.

After weathering a furious comeback and late-game performances from a cast of Bills including Josh Allen, James Cook, Mack Hollins and Jordan Phillips, the Chiefs stayed the course for a third consecutive Super Bowl berth and a chance for an unprecedented three-peat.

The Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles will square off in the NFC Championship Game with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. The Eagles are 6.5 point favorites, but I’m taking the Commanders to cover.
