NFL Conference Championship Predictions



Wild Card Record (4-0)
Divisional Round Record (1-3)


NFC

Green Bay Packers Vs Seattle Seahawks

This is going to be a great matchup! The top two teams in the NFC, who dominated the entire season will be facing off for a chance to play in The Super Bowl! The Seahawks are such a good team it’s hard to even find any type of weakness that they have. I mean did anybody see Kam Chancellor straight up hurdle over The Panthers offensive line last week TWO times in a ROW??? Then he made the game sealing interception return for a touchdown to help his team get the win. It’s just crazy because The Seahawks seem to win a different way every week and a different guy is the one who steps up. They have so much talent and are coached so well that they will be tough to beat! The Packers on the other hand are driven by one man and one man alone, Aaron Rodgers. He was able to beat The Cowboys last week on one leg and did a great job at it, but I don’t believe that’s going to work against The Seahawks defense. The Seahawks defense was already able to shut a healthy Aaron Rodgers down earlier this season so imagine what they will do with a one legged Aaron Rodgers. Even if Rodgers was completely healthy I still would take The Seahawks in this matchup, they look way too good and are playing great football at the right time.

AFC

Indianapolis Colts Vs New England Patriots 

This is a very unexpected matchup because The Colts have been a Jekyll and Hyde type team where you just don’t know  what you’re going to get from them on any given game. One week they will kick your ass and the following they get their asses kicked, but last week they played a complete game and dominated The Broncos from start to finish to end up in The AFC Championship. The Colts are a good team, they have a great attitude, they are coached well and have a great leader in Andrew Luck, but I just don’t see them winning The Super Bowl just yet. The Patriots were up to their old tricks again last week and were able to overcome a couple of deficits in the game and walk away with a big win against a good team. The hilarious part about this matchup is how awful both of these ground games are, The Patriots had only SEVEN rushes attempted last week and still won that game in a shootout! That should NEVER happen! The Colts traded for Trent Richardson last season and so far that dude has been a complete bust and beyond him they have been battling through injuries at the running back position, so no need to worry about this being a big deal for either team this week! The Patriots defense I believe will be the deciding factor in this game, if they can contain Andrew Luck and cause some turnovers then Tom Brady will have no problem taking advantage and getting some points. The Colts rely too much on Luck and have nothing if you take him out of the equation. The Colts have too many holes in their defense and Brady should be able to exploit that.
