The 2025 NFL conference championship games are set with winners on Sunday, Jan. 26 advancing to Super Bowl LIX Feb. 9 in New Orleans. The AFC top seed Kansas City Chiefs host No. 2 Buffalo Bills. The NFC No. 2 seed Philadelphia Eagles host the No. 6 seed Washington Commanders. Big game betting on sides, totals, moneylines and popular prop bets is driving the action at the leading online sportsbooks.
The top two teams by power ratings and Super Bowl odds were eliminated in the AFC and NFC divisional round. The Baltimore Ravens suffered another disappointing playoff defeat with QB Lamar Jackson turnovers problematic again in a 27-25 loss at Buffalo. Three turnovers, including 1 interception and 1 lost fumble by Lamar for the second straight year in a big playoff game proved costly, along with a sack inside the Bills 5-yard line, two missed 2-point conversions including the dropped pass by tight end March Andrews that would have tired the game in the closing 90 seconds.
The Detroit Lions could not overcome the devastating injuries that plagued their defense and 5 turnovers were most damaging in a 45-31 home loss to the surprising and surging Washington Commanders.
The Eagles and Chiefs advanced despite being outgained in last week’s wins, and Philadelphia and Kansas City are favored to reach the Super Bowl.
