Conference title weekend is quickly approaching in the NFL.

Gronkowski revealed his prediction for the matchup, mentioning that the Eagles' offensive line will lead Philadelphia to Super Bowl LIX.

While he credited the Commanders for their playoff success, Gronkowski explained that the Eagles have the ability to control the game with their offensive line.

"I'm gonna go with the whole entire offensive line for the Eagles," Gronkowski said, per Up & Adams. When you got an offensive line like that, you can control the whole entire game. Especially when you have a running back like Saquon Barkley. That's why I'm going with the Philadelphia Eagles, because of that offensive line."

The Eagles have ridden the success of their offensive line all season, helping quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley post monster numbers on the ground.

Philadelphia features proven studs on the offensive line, such as Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata and Cam Jurgens.

In the Eagles' latest win over the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round, Philadelphia produced 285 total rushing yards, with 205 yards from Barkley and 70 yards from Hurts.

Through two postseason games, Barkley has totaled two touchdowns and 324 yards on 51 carries.
