Results: 6-2 (3-1), 4-4 (3-1) vs. spread
Picks:
NFC Championship Game:
Green Bay Packers (10-6) @ Atlanta Falcons (11-5)
Time: Sat 14 JAN 2017 3:05p FOX, 60°F Cloudy, Georgia Dome
Line: Atlanta -4.5
The Scoop: This one is simple - last game at the Georgia Dome. More of a reason for the commissioner to for go the AFC game. The big thing I think is that there is a possibility of either a blowout by Atlanta or another high scoring game for Green Bay. The Packers’ defense against Dallas was nothing to write home about, yet they Seattle did just as poorly. But if they had trouble against Dallas, don’t think this will be a walk in the park either. However, we’re still tracking the potential of the Lambeau team winning the Super Bowl by virtue of beating the Giants in the wild card round, in which the winner of that fixture in the playoffs goes on to get Lombardi’s trophy. I’m expecting the peach state’s soon-to-be-forgotten venue to go out with a bang (in more ways than one).
Outlook: Peregrines, 31-24.
AFC Championship Game:
Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5) @ New England Patriots (14-2)
Time: Sun 15 JAN 2017 6:40p CBS, 61°F Cloudy, Gillette Stadium
Line: New England -6
The Scoop: It’s been a long time since Pittsburgh has lost to the Pats in the playoffs dating back to 2004. Certain comments from the Steelers camp is suggesting that the Shield wants New England in the Super Bowl again. Despite the great performances from Le’Veon Bell, it’s all about Big Ben. Roethlisberger has not entirely been himself since coming back from his personal week off following their regular season tilt with the Dolphins. This is where the Pats will miss Rob Gronkowski. While they have other tight ends and their wide receiving corps, the non-Brady play-maker is out. Unless someone channels their inner Gronk, But if Pittsburgh wins, the NFC winner will be the shoe-in favorite to win two weeks from now.
Outlook: Terrible Towels, 28-27.
