- NFL championship game picks: Who among Chiefs, Ravens, 49ers and Lions reaches Super Bowl 58?
And then there were four. Two conference title games to determine which of the NFL's final quartet of playoff participants qualify for Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas next month.
Sunday's action will begin in Baltimore , where the Ravens will host their first AFC championship game by welcoming the reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs to Charm City. One team ( Lamar Jackson 's) seeks its third Lombardi Trophy. The other ( Patrick Mahomes ') seeks its third Lombardi Trophy ... in the past five seasons. Good luck picking here.

The NFC championship game will feature the San Francisco 49ers for the fourth time in the last five seasons, the Niners − winners of five Super Bowls in the game's first 29 years − seeking their first over the past 29 campaigns. But they'll have to ward off the feel-good Detroit Lions , just one victory from playing on Super Sunday for the first time after reaching their second-ever NFC title tilt.
