Conference Championship Sunday

Well, the time is finally here, the "Final Four" of the NFL playoffs. Like most people, I was looking forward to a Pats-Colts AFC final rematch, but I suppose the Chargers will have to do. It's not like anyone can stop the Cheaters this year anyway. In the NFC (read: loser conference) the upstart Packers (with their barely upright QB) host the surprising Giants in a battle of "really? those two teams? Okay.) Oh, well. On with the picks.

Chargers @ Patriots: The Chargers would need the miracle of miracles to beat the Pats in New England, and that's with Rivers, Tomlinson, and Gates healthy. But they aren't, so this one should be over early. New England 34, San Diego 17.

Giants @ Packers: Everyone seems to be salivating at the prospect of a Brady v Favre Super Bowl, but the Giants have won 9 straight road games, and seem to do everything right, at least in the last half of the season. This one will be close. New York 19, Green Bay 17.

Record: 5-3

I agree, Giants and the Pack should be a close game, but I really hope GBay comes out on top. The Giants have been riding a high that has to come crashing down at some point...this weekend might be it.

Go Favre Go!!
