CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY

Well, I went 2-2 on my picks for Divisional Weekend, thanks Seattle. Though, I’m not at all upset with Green Bay! How ‘bout those Cowboys?!

There are four teams left and I’m really not too excited about any of them. I would have to pull for the team that knocked my team out though.  It would be nice to see a Super Bowl XLV repeat (that’s when the Packers beat the Steelers in Super Bowl 45). I guess we’ll see after this weekend.

In non play-off news it looks like the Raiders are moving to Las Vegas and Johnny Manziel says he’s sober. It’s easier to believe that the Raiders are moving to Vegas than the latter. Sure Johnny, you’re sober, isn’t this the umpteenth time you’ve said so?

Before we talk about the Championship Sunday let’s recap wild divisional weekend.

Seahawks @ Falcons 20-36

There was no stopping the Falcons on Saturday. Matt Ryan has turned over a new leaf and that leaf doesn’t include giving the game away to the opponent. Seattle looked terrible. I must say, I did not see that coming.

Texans @ Patriots 16-34

Blah, blah, blah Patriots win. This shocked no one, Texans fans included. The good news is Tom Terrific is throwing interceptions.

  

Packers @ Cowboys 34-31

This game though! I really didn’t think that the Packers would pull this one off but boy did they! What a game! The crazy thing is that this game wasn’t even that close until the final few minutes and then it was a contest of field goals. I still think that the Packers should have iced the Cowboys kicker and I still don’t know how that final field goal was good. But hey, GO PACK GO!

Steelers @ Chiefs 18-16

I really thought that this would be a high scoring game but the Chiefs held the Steelers to 6 field goals! MVP of this game would have to be Chris Boswell, the Steelers kicker. If only the Chiefs could have scored one more field goal they would have won.

CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY

Sunday, January 22^nd

Packers (10-6) @ Falcons (11-5) [3:05pm FOX]

Green Bay has come into all of their post-season games as an underdog and they have won every time. They are coming into this game as the underdog too. Why should this game be different? The Packers are beat up, but the Falcons aren’t 100% either. I’m picking the underdog. GO PACK GO!

Steelers (11-5) @ Patriots (14-2) [6:40pm CBS]

Man, I wish that both teams could lose. I am not excited about this game. I think I’ll just root for the defense. Defenses win championships and I hope that Pittsburgh’s defense is just a little bit better. I’m picking the Patriots to win and hoping to be incredibly wrong.

GO PACK GO!

Thanks for the edit Eric!
