NFL Playoffs Predictions (Championship Round)

AFC:

Patriots over Chargers

I dont need to explain this game more than a paragraph. The Chargers top three offensive players all have serious injuries. Thats the quarterback Rivers, the running back and last years MVP Ladanian Tomlinson and the best tight end in football Antonio Gates. The Pats are undefeated and beat the Chargers by 24 points in their week two meeting. The Chargers will play inspired ball in this game and will keep the game close, however the injuries will hamper them and give the Pats a 10-14 point game win. Look for Quintin Jammer and Antonio Cromartie to give Brady trouble, but look for the MVP to adjust.


NFC:

Giants over Packers

Sure no one is giving the G Man a chance to win but as I said on previous blogs this team is a different animal on the road. The defensive line always applies pressure on the quarterbacks, just ask Jeff garcia and Tony Romo. The Cowboys and Bucs O line are better than the Packers o line so what does that tell you. These teams are so evenly matched, however I think the difference will in the game will be which wide out can step up the most out of Donald Driver and Plaxico Burress. I give the edge to Burress. driver is solid, however Sam Madison of the Giants is healthy again and has played Driver well in the paast. As far as the Charles Woodson and Al Harris match up on Plaxico, I give the edge to Plaxico. Three weeks ago Plaxic tourched Ahante Samuel of the Pats at only 50 %. he is about 75% now and AlHarris and Woodson struggle against big wide outs. look for Eli to take this team down for a final drive and set up a field goal game winner. Giants win by 1-3 points.
