NFL Predictions
The stage is now set for Super Bowl LVII, with the Kansas City Chiefs due to play the Philadelphia Eagles after they won their respective Championship games on Sunday.
The Chiefs kicked a field goal with seconds remaining to beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 as they won the AFC Championship Game.
In the NFC Championship game, the Eagles beat an injury-hit San Francisco 49ers 31-7.

The two best teams in the NFL have made it to the Super Bowl, the Chiefs and Eagles finished the regular campaign as the No.1 seeds in their respective divisions.
Super Bowl LVII promises to be a fascinating battle.
The Chiefs, AFC champions, first beat the Jacksonville Jaguars (27-20) during the Divisional Round before their win over the Bengals.
NFC champions Philadelphia cruised past the New York Giants in the Divisional Round, as they ran out 38-7 winners at Lincoln Financial Field. They then returned to home soil to beat the 49ers.
Mahomes has time to recover ahead of Super Bowl LVII
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was once again able to help his team reach Super Bowl LVII, despite carrying an injury.
Mahomes is still struggling with a high ankle sprain, but he still managed to throw for 326 yards and two touchdowns. While many would have sat out Sunday's game, Mahomes showed how tough he can be, and with just less than two weeks to go until Super Bowl LVII, he can improve his fitness during that time.
The Chiefs will be full of confidence ahead of their clash with the Eagles after they ended a three-match losing streak against the Bengals.
History on the line for Hurts and Philadelphia
The Eagles were ruthless during their win on Sunday, but they were helped by injuries to both 49ers quarterbacks, Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson.
Purdy picked up an elbow injury before his replacement; Johnson suffered a concussion.
As a result, the Eagles were able to dominate for the majority of the game, but they will not have as much joy against the dominant Chiefs.
While the Eagles last played in the Super Bowl in 2017, the Chiefs have reached two of the last three, and their experience could be the difference in the end.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will hope to make history, becoming the first dual-threat QB to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
The Eagles' offensive line is the best in the NFL, and Hurts' ability on the ground gives them a totally different option on offense.
If the Eagles' pass rush can get to Mahomes, then Super Bowl LVII can go down to the wire, but if Mahomes comes back fit and able to throw on the run, the Chiefs are likely to add another Super Bowl victory to their record.
