If you followed last year, you won over 60% of your picks, and we aim to do even better this year.

And if you’ve been following us, you know that we here at Football Garbage Time have gone head-to-head against Wally, Will and Ray at Urban Sports Scene on our NFL Picks for the last 7 seasons. Why? Because they’re awesome competitors, they KNOW their sports, and, heck, they’re just good guys! This year we’ll have their picks up right HERE, so keep it tuned in, to both us and them, because we’ll be picking all season all long.

Without further to do, here we go:

Conference Championship Games

Ha Kung Wong’s Picks

Philadelphia Eagles over Washington Commanders (Over 47.5)

Buffalo Bills over the Kansas City Chiefs (Under 47.5)

Ha Kung’s Thoughts:

After a 64.7% record three seasons ago, and 63.3% (178-103) two seasons ago, I ended up with 63.4% (180-104) last season. So that’s nine years in a row with over a 60% pick rate. I also had 85% right for Locks of the Week (17-3) and 42.1% for Upsets of the Week (8-11), so not only did I beat my 2022 percentages for both Locks and Upsets, but I have nine years in a row of Locks being over 70%.

I had a coin flip Divisional Round Playoffs, going 2-2 leaving me at 194-88 for the season (68.8%) and hit my Lock of the Week with the Chiefs (16-3 on the season), stand pat with my upsets (8-10 on the season).

No Lock or Upset of the Week since there’s only 2 games, but if you want to know why I made my picks, check out the newest episode of the Football Garbage NFL Podcast!

George’s Picks

Washington Commanders over Philadelphia Eagles

Kansas City Chiefs over the Buffalo Bills

George’s Thoughts:

Washington at Philadelphia: Yes the Commanders struggle to stop the run and the Eagles have the real NFL MVP Saquon Barkley to exploit that. Yes, they have the two great WRs and Dallas Goedert. The Eagles have the #1 defense. I know all of that. But Jalen Hurts us hurt and all those things were true when Washington won in Maryland against them. And the Commanders have won 7 consecutive games and have Jayden Daniels. So take Washington.

Buffalo at Kansas City: Until I see Josh Allen and Sean McDermott beat the Chiefs in January I’m not falling for the Bills again. Chiefs get their shot at a 3-peat.
