We are now down to the final four in the NFL playoffs. Championship Sunday is going to be a good one. The two games consist of teams that are evenly matched and familiar with each other. This Sunday will be a chance to sit down and relax for approximately seven hours and just watch football. By the end of the day, we will know who is going to be playing in Super Bowl XLV. Last week I did pretty good with my picks. I went 3-1 and would have gone for 4-0 if it weren't for those trash-talking New York Jets. My playoff picks record is now 5-3. I think for sure I'll go 2-0 this week, we'll have to wait until Sunday to find out for sure though. Happy football watching!
Packers at Bears: Bears
In the NFC Championship Game I'm going with the Chicago Bears to beat the Green Bay Packers. Most people in the sports world are picking the Packers to win and rightfully so. Their quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been hot the past month and their defense is playing great football. Quietly I think the Bears have been sitting back waiting for this rematch. In Week 17, the Bears shut down the Packers offense in what was a must-win game for Green Bay. Also, the Bears didn't switch up their audibles on offense in the Week 17 matchup. To be honest I think the Bears have the psychological edge over the Packers. NFC Championship games at Soldier Field are tough games because of the weather. The field in Chicago is terrible so that will slow down the Packers quick-strike passing game. I'm expecting a close and hard-fought game but at the end of the day I have to roll with Da Bears.
Jets at Steelers: Steelers
In the AFC Championship Game I'm going with the Pittsburgh Steelers to beat the New York Jets. When these two teams met in mid-December it was a great football game. I'm expecting more of the same on Sunday. Both teams are well-coached and both teams play great defense. If the Jets can win this game they would have beaten the following quarterbacks on the road en route to the Super Bowl: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger. In my opinion those are the three best quarterback in the NFL. That's a tough task for any team. Unfortunately for the Jets, Roethlisberger is a different type of quarterback than Manning and Brady. Big Ben can make the unthinkable happen because of his combination of size, power and precision under pressure. An important note to mention is that Steelers safety Troy Polamalu didn't play in the December game against the Jets. I'm looking forward to seeing how Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez does now that Polamalu is back in the starting lineup. With all that said I expect to see Pittsburgh celebrating another trip to the Super Bowl.
