NFL Conference Championship Predictions

AFC

New England Patriots Vs Denver Broncos

Well here we are again ESPN’s dream Peyton Manning’s Broncos Vs Tom Brady’s Patriots battling it out for a chance to play in The Super Bowl. Don’t get me wrong these matchups have turned out to be pretty epic for the most part, but we all know the media gets way too hard up about this kinda shit, especially when it comes to these two particular quarterbacks! This game is going to be all about the offense because defensively both of these teams can get lit up and both Manning and Brady have been on fire all season. I have a feeling this is going to be a shootout between Manning and Brady going back and fourth driving down the field and whoever has the ball last will come out on top. There are other players on these teams playing this game though, but unfortunately for Tom Brady all the good ones are playing for Denver. Once again Tom Brady has literally had to carry his entire team to this point and this is quite possibly the worst team and choice of offensive “weapons” that he has ever had in his career and yet here they are in The Championship game. But I feel like this advantage will be big for Denver in getting this win, on offense Manning has numerous weapons to not only throw to but he has a solid ground attack and while the defense has been beat up they are still able to maintain and do a decent job. Football is a team sport and while Tom Brady is a great quarterback, I don’t believe he will be able to do it all and that’s where I think Denver will have the edge in this matchup due to an all around team effort.

NFC

San Francisco 49ers Vs Seattle Seahawks

I guess third time is going to be the charm between these two division rivals. In the regular season they split their matchups, the first matchup Seattle absolutely dominated The 49ers and in the second matchup it was tough fight throughout the game and The 49ers ended up with the win. Seattle has been one of the most dominant teams at every position, they play smart, they play fast and they get the job done and make it look easy! Pete Carroll has transformed this team into a powerhouse and the crazy thing is they could be even better, but Percy Harvin has been injured all season. The most impressive thing about The Seahawks is their secondary, it is probably the best secondary in the league hands down! They are ALL over that field, they have every receiver on lock down, force turnovers and on occasions have been known to score a touchdown. The 49ers have had an up and down season, but ever since Aldon Smith came back the defense has looked better than ever and seem to be back to their form from last year. Colin Kaepernick had a great game against The Panthers continuing his dominance in the playoffs and the one thing about this 49ers team is they can go on the road into hostile environments and win! I feel like this is going to be an epic battle until the very end and I think defense is going to dominate. I have a feeling we’re going to see a bunch of turnovers and whoever takes advantage of those mistakes will come out on top. This is where I think The Seahawks will have the edge because like I said before their defense is out of control, they have kept The 49ers offense in check in both matchups and I think they will do the same thing in this matchup, the defense should set their offense up in some good positions to ride Marshawn Lynch all the way into The Super Bowl.

Seahawks over 49ers 17-14
