AFC & NFC Championship Predictions

[DemPGH]

I'd love a reason to pick Indy, Luck, and Pagano. Man, would I like to see them knock off the Pats. But I just don't have a reason as of now to think that they will. What's interesting is, Rodgers fought through an injury, one that clearly limited and frustrated him, to win. Manning did not. And Manning overthrowing guys like that was odd. Brady won't do that.

I think Manning's "magic" died when Tracy Porter jumped that route in S.B. 44 and returned the pick to put away the game. If P.M. comes back in 2015, I think teams will challenge him as they would any other QB. I hope he does not go out like Favre.

Unless something happens between now and the time the championships are played, it's Seahawks vs. Patriots in S.B. 49.

Seahawks win 27-17
Patriots win 31-28

I know some experts have picked the Colts, but I don't see it just yet. I'm hopeful that it will be competitive, though.

Just wow. What a game was the NFC Championship!

Unless something goes seriously wrong, it's Patriots vs. Seahawks, and I got the Seahawks! Overcoming all those first half mistakes, turnovers, penalties, and general failure was incredible.
