CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP PREDICTIONS
The divisional round brought us some very good games. The field is down to four with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Which two teams will step up and move one step closer to their ultimate goal?
AFC Championship: (3) Colts @ (1) Browns
Two different roads to the playoffs. The Colts held off a hot start from the Jets last week to advance while the Browns survived a shootout with the division rival Ravens 27-20. The Colts biggest test of the playoffs comes against the best team in the AFC with a super bowl berth on the line. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Colts defense make enough plays to win this one but i think the Browns road to the Conference game has better prepared them for this moment and they move past the Colts and onto the Super Bowl.
Prediction: Browns defeat Colts
NFC Championship: (4) Redskins at (2) Cardinals
The Cardinals survived a nail biter to get here while the Redskins have run through the NFC South’s best and handled the Saints with an impressive win. The Cardinals defense was suspect against the Lions so watch for the Redskins to take advantage. I had the Redskins losing last week and they turned it into a 35-14 win. I won't make the same mistake this week. I'm picking the Redksins upsetting the Cardinals on the road and moving to the Super Bowl.
Prediction: Redskins defeat Cardinals
