NFL Pick 'Em - Conference Championships

Well...it's a little elementary at this point since I'm up five with three games to go, but no one will ever be able to say we don't follow through! Still, for there to only be a difference of five games is a testament to either how good we both are or how much be both suck. You be the judge.


AFC Championship

NY Jets @ Pittsburgh Steelers

Loren - Pittsburgh. Why go against them now? They have the experience, they have the better coaches, and they're playing at home. Steelers emphatically.

Derek - Pittsburgh. Since I can't catch up I won't just pick against Loren to pick against him, I'll try to do my best...wait is that what I should have been doing this whole time? Anyway I'll take the home team that's been there before. I'm not a huge Big Ben fan but I think he's head and shoulders better at leading his team.

NFC Championship

Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears

Loren - Green Bay. All the talk is about how well Rodgers has been playing. I like Green Bay's D to win this game. I think they'll pressure Cutler, and Cutler gets a little squirrely when he's pressured. Turnovers will be the difference in this game.

Derek - Green Bay. I think this game comes down to Cutler, and I don't think Cutler is going to have the kind of game that he'll need to have. I expect a low scoring game but with GB controlling it throughout.
