Baltimore Sun staff writers pick every game of the NFL season. Here’s who they have winning the AFC and NFC championship games:

NFC: Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles (Today, 3 p.m.)

Brian Wacker (3-1 last week; 187-81 overall): The Commanders have been more than just a fun story. Their offense is legitimate with Jayden Daniels, who was brilliant under pressure last week against the Lions. But the Eagles’ defense operates at a much different level; they led the league in points and yards allowed. Philadelphia also has the best offensive line in the league, which will clear the way for Saquon Barkley to have a big day. Eagles 28, Commanders 17

Childs Walker (2-2 last week; 186-82 overall): The Eagles keep convincing everyone they’re vulnerable. They also keep grinding out wins with their advantages on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Daniels is the most compelling player left in the playoffs. Him vs. Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen would make an appealing Super Bowl. Washington also has a history of upsetting Philadelphia. Not this time. The NFL isn’t a Cinderella league. Eagles 30, Commanders 24

Mike Preston (2-2 last week; 185-83 overall): Daniels is a great story and he could become the next Mahomes with his accuracy and ability to extend plays. But I’m old school, and so are the Eagles. They win games because they dominate on both sides of the line of scrimmage and have the best running back in the game in Barkley. They can control the pace of a game with their front four on defense and an offensive line that has exceptional tackles. Eagles, 24, Commanders 17

C.J. Doon (3-1 last week; 176-106 overall): What, you think I’m getting off the Commanders bandwagon now? After picking them last week, I’m riding the hot hand and calling for another upset. While the Eagles’ defense is much better (and healthier) than the Lions’ rag-tag unit, Daniels has been nearly unstoppable all season. He was incredible under pressure against Detroit and will have to be even better against a ferocious Philadelphia front that’s facing a Washington offensive line missing its best player in right guard Sam Cosmi. Jalen Carter could single-handedly end the Commanders’ wild ride, but Daniels’ mobility is the X factor. Despite their gaudy record and star power on both sides of the ball, the Eagles have never felt like a juggernaut. Washington has the better quarterback, and that makes the difference. Commanders 20, Eagles 19

Tim Schwartz (3-1 last week; 201-83 overall): Why not? Washington has shocked the world two straight weekends and has all the momentum to do it again Sunday. Daniels has put together the best rookie quarterback season ever. He’s unflappable. Jalen Hurts, meanwhile, is banged up and likely won’t be the running threat he usually is. Yes, Barkley has run all over the Commanders, but those totals are skewed by several long runs. In their Week 11 matchup, Washington held the star running back to 3.3 yards per carry through the first three quarters before falling apart in the fourth. Point is, Washington has shown it can do enough to slow Philly’s rushing attack. If they do it again Sunday, they’ll play in the Super Bowl. Commanders 28, Eagles 24

Bennett Conlin (2-2 last week; 186-96 overall): The Commanders have the better quarterback, but the Eagles have the more complete roster. Washington benefitted from a rough performance out of Lions quarterback Jared Goff in the NFC divisional round, and Daniels carved up Detroit’s defense. Hurts won’t make the same mistakes — Philadelphia likely won’t give him many chances — and the Eagles’ defense should perform far better than the Lions’ unit, which lacked healthy top-end talent by season’s end. Philadelphia’s running game spearheaded by Barkley will be the difference in a meeting of division rivals. Eagles 28, Commanders 24

AFC: Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs (Today, 6:30 p.m.)

Wacker: These are two teams that don’t make the kind of backbreaking mistakes the Ravens made in their loss to the Bills. The margins are thin at this point, so that matters. Expect both teams to play things relatively conservative and then the Chiefs to come through as they always do in a few clutch moments on offense. Allen has been brilliant for Buffalo, but he can still turn it over and it feels as if Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie will be a factor. Mahomes is still king in these spots and won’t make a mistake. Chiefs 24, Bills 17

Walker: The Bills showed their maturity against the Ravens, sticking to a conservative game plan that mitigated the risk of deadly turnovers. They’ve already beaten the Chiefs, so they’ll go to Kansas City believing they can topple the defending Super Bowl champions. The Ravens would have been a greater tactical risk to the Chiefs. Buffalo might have a better intangible case to pull the upset. The Chiefs no longer move in chunks. Their defense was solid, not dominant, statistically. But it’s so difficult to pick against them given Mahomes’ record of finding a way in these high-stakes games. Chiefs 23, Bills 20

Preston: Until another team unseats The King, I am taking the Chiefs because of quarterback Patrick Mahomes. There are critics who say Kansas City and Mahomes get all the calls, but they said the same thing about Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Tom Brady. Why? Because great players are always involved in big games and they deliver. I like the Bills’ running game and the Buffalo staff has done a good job with Allen. They try to prevent him from losing games with dumb plays like fumbles and interceptions. It’s called ball security, but it’s hard to beat the Chiefs anywhere, especially at home. Chiefs 24, Bills 21

Doon: Surely it’s time for this Chiefs run to end, right? Kansas City has been living on a knife’s edge all season, doing just enough to win nearly every week. But this Bills team will not beat itself, having avoided turnovers in both of its playoff victories while sticking to a conservative approach on offense. If Allen, James Cook and Ray Davis can be successful on the ground and keep Mahomes and company off the field, Buffalo has a pretty good chance of finally returning to the Super Bowl. For everyone’s sake, let’s just hope this game isn’t decided by a penalty. Bills 26, Chiefs 23

Schwartz: It’s Allen’s time. The Buffalo quarterback has been knocking on the door for years now, and this feels like the Chiefs team to beat. Kansas City has not looked as good as its superb record indicates, and the Bills have found enough balance on offense to control the ball and limit how often Mahomes is on the field. This is expected to be a toss-up. Whoever has the ball last probably wins. Either way, enjoy the show because these are probably the two best teams in the NFL. Bills 30, Chiefs 28

Conlin: I felt the winner of the Ravens-Bills AFC divisional round matchup would end up winning the Super Bowl, and I’m not changing my thoughts after last week. Yes, Kansas City’s defense is incredible and Mahomes is a postseason beast, but Buffalo beat the Chiefs once this season, recording 107 more total yards than the Chiefs on Nov. 17. The Bills, led by an efficient Allen and a solid defense, will end Mahomes’ dreams of a three-peat. Bills 27, Chiefs 17
