The NFL playoffs are coming to a crescendo, with the matchups for the conference championship games now set.

It begins next Sunday with an Interstate 95 showdown between the No. 2 seed Philadelphia Eagles (16-3, including playoffs) and the sixth-seeded Washington Commanders (14-5) for the NFC title.

The Eagles held off a late Los Angeles Rams comeback for a 28-22 win on Sunday in the divisional round to secure a matchup with their NFC East rivals, who upset the top-seeded Lions 45-31 on Saturday to advance. It will be the third matchup of the season between these two teams, with the Eagles winning 26-18 as 4.5-point favorites at home in Week 11 and the Commanders evening the series with a 36-33 home victory as 4.5-point underdogs in Week 16.

The Eagles opened as a 5-point favorite in the NFC Championship Game.

On the AFC side of the bracket, the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (16-2, 7-11 against the spread) punched their ticket to a seventh straight conference title game with a 23-14 win over the Houston Texans in the divisional round.

The top seed in the AFC will face the Buffalo Bills, who held off the Baltimore Ravens, 27-25, to force a rematch of the AFC Championship game from the 2020 season. Kansas City won that game 38-24. The Chiefs fell to the Bills 30-21 in Buffalo back in Week 11 this season. The Chiefs opened as 1-point favorites for Sunday's matchup.

Super Bowl LIX will be played Sunday, Feb. 9 (on Fox) at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

Here are the lines, spreads and totals for the NFC and AFC conference championship games.
