NFC/AFC Title Game Predictions

Last Week: (2-2) (2-2 vs. spread)
Playoffs: (4-4) (3-5 vs. spread)

San Diego at New England (-14)
While I don't like Philip Rivers, it is a big loss for the Chargers that Billy Volek appears to be starting at quarterback for San Diego. And while LaDainian Tomlinson appears healthy, it also hurts the Chargers that Antonio Gates is listed as doubtful because of his toe injury. Oh yeah, it's also going to be freezing. Oh, and I forgot, they're playing the Patriots, a team that's 17-0. Do you really think this is where the run ends? I don't.
New England 41, San Diego 17

NY Giants at Green Bay (-7.5)
Every now and then, a team comes along that defies what we know about football. It gets hot at the right time, and no matter who that team is playing - yes, even if Brett Favre is the quarterback of that other team - it just doesn't matter. The team has something unexplainable on its side, like that girl you can't figure out why you like. This year, that team happens to be my favorite team, the New York Giants. Eli Manning has something in his eyes that I've never seen before from him, at least not in the pros. I really don't think that anything is right about this whole Green Bay thing for the Giants. It's going to be freezing, night time, the entire world wants Tom Brady vs. Favre, and you know what? It's not going to happen. Last year, everybody wanted a Saints/Colts Super Bowl, but only the Colts were able to advance. This year, everyone wants a Packers/Patriots Super Bowl. I'm sorry America, but the Giants aren't losing. At least not yet. Don't ask me why. Maybe I just think they'll get pressure on Favre, force three interceptions, and put the game away late with a defensive touchdown. I'm not saying there's any sense to this, I'm just saying, watch and learn.
NY Giants 35, Green Bay 21
