Championship Round

Okay so clearly I made my picks last week on opposite day, sorry I forgot to mention that. So since we all now know about the opposite day thing we can say I went 4 for 4. Really though I don’t know why I didn’t pick the Eagles, but I stand by the other picks.
Well this week we get to see who will meet in the Super Bowl. Should be two good games too.


NFC

Arizona vs Philadelphia — I still really want to say that the Eagles are gonna make some stupid mistake that will cost them the game, but it hasn’t happened yet so maybe it wont. So all things being equal Arizona has a great offense and Philadelphia has a great defense. Most people will tell you that defense wins championships and I will be one of those people. Defense wins championships! The Eagles defense is playing almost as good as the Super Bowl Bears the past 3 games, but they don’t have a Rex Grossman to lose the game for them like the Bears did. So as good as the Cardinals have looked in games that matter I just think the Eagles are playing too good right now. Take the Eagles Sunday.

AFC

Pittsburgh vs Baltimore — I'm just not happy with either of these two teams, they both are lacking so much on the offensive end. Of course the Steelers can be a good offensive team and if Willie Parker can run the ball then that will help the passing game a lot. So here is what we know the Ravens are going to bring it with there D. They’ll try to put Big Ben on his back as much as possible. I think the secondary is good enough to support a lot of blitzing because they should be able to hold the Pittsburgh receivers in coverage. I think Pittsburgh’s O-line will bend and then break and if that happens Pittsburgh will not score more then 13 points. I think Baltimore will have a very hard time scoring on the Pittsburgh defense, but if they just run the ball and don’t turn it over then they should win a close low scoring game. So I’ll take the Ravens.
