Conference Championship Week

The road to the superbowl continues....

I think it's pretty amazing that the home teams hosting games this week are both undefeated at home. They are both 9-0. Unfortunately I'm not so sure that is a good thing. Carolina is hot and Pittsburgh has an impressive road record at 8-2.

Carolina Panthers at Seattle Seahawks
I think this will be the week Sean Alexander will prove why he is the league MVP. He's been MIA the last several weeks so look to him to have a good game. Also the Seahawks led the league in sacks so Delhomme and Steve Smith might not have a good game. I like the home team.
My Pick - Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos
This will be a good game. Who establishes the run game early? Who's defense will rush the QB with success? Who's secondary will keep the ball out of the air? These two teams have a similar style with a similar game plan so whoever gets to it first will win. I like the home team with this one as well.
My Pick - Broncos
