Well last weekend didn't go down as I expected. I will admit, much like alot of people, I was wrong about the 49ers, the Giants stunned everyone, Tebow got embarrassed and the Ravens quietly marched on. Before I get into Championship weekend, let me just get my picks from last week out of the way.
New Orleans Saints at San Fransisco 49ers
My Pick: Saints 41-49ers 12
Actual Score: 49ers 36-Saints 32
Who would have guessed that the 49ers OFFENSE would have actually won a shootout against the Saints? Never expected that. I do want to say though, the last five minutes might be one of the best ending of a football games I've seen in years.
Denver Broncos at New England Patriots
My Pick: Broncos 38-Patriots 35
Actual Score: Patriots 45-Broncos 10
What can I say? I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone against my instincts.
Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens
My Pick: Ravens 31-Texans 15
Actual Score: Ravens 20-Texans 13
Well at least I got the winner right. I didn't see the game at all. So yeah.
New York Giants at Green Bay Packers
My Pick: Giants 35-Packers 32
Actual Score: Giants 37-Packers 20
As a Giants fan, I'm so happy! As a Packers fan, I'm sad. But the Giants fan is bigger in this case. One note I didn't expect the Pack to play so sloppy for the Giants defense to actually shutdown the Packers offense. Amazing.
That being said, let's get to this Sunday's games.
AFC Championship Game
Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots
This game could go two ways. #1 it could be a defensive battle, a low scoring hard hitting game. Then there's option #2, a high scoring game that gets out of hand quickly. To be honest I don't see the Ravens being able to shutdown Brady.
Score: Patriots 35-Ravens 14
NFC Championship Game
New York Giants at San Fransisco 49ers
Here. We. Go. If you don't me back in November this game would be happening, I would have sad you were crazy. Well here we are. Two good defences, one elite quarterback and another who proved he could strike under pressure. This is going to be a great game.
Score: Giants 38-49ers 28
