NFL Picks Conference Championship

I posted a 3-1 mark during last weeks divisional round, bring my playoff record to 5-3. My only loss came courtesy of the Kansas City Chiefs as I thought they would apply enough pressure on the golden boy Tom Brady to disrupt the New England offense. That turned out to be wrong as the Patriots dominated a game that wasn't as close as it's final scored indicated. Will the Pats survive what amounts to a little shop of horrors for them in Denver this week to advance to yet another Super Bowl? Who would be their opponent? Only time will tell, so check out my picks after the jump!

NFL Picks Divisional Round

Thanks to an epic meltdown last weekend by the Bengals I finished Wildcard Weekend 2-2 instead of 3-1, with that said given the circumstances I would make the same pick again. This week's Divisional Round consist of matchups between the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks in the potential game of the week, Green Bay and Arizona, while on the AFC side we have the Broncos and Steelers and the Chiefs and Patriots. All four games should be excellent as long as Aaron Rodgers and the boys didn't leave their offense in Washington! Check out my picks after the jump.
