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

Playoffs Week 2

Washington Redskins at Seattle Seahawks
The Redskins are going to have to produce more than 120 yards of offense to compete with Seattle. Word is the rain in Seattle will still be in place so the Redskins just might have a chance.
Still have to pick the hawks though.
My Pick - Seahawks

New England Patriots at Denver Broncos
Plummer will finally win his first playoff game and how sweet it'll be the win will be against the defending champs.
My Pick - Broncos

Pittsburgh Stealers at Indianapolis Colts
Colts won't make it to the superbowl but they'll win this game.
My Pick - Colts

Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears
Panthers will be the only road win this week as the Bears won't have enough offense to win the game.
My Pick - Panthers
