If time allows it, I'll have much more elaborate previews of the conference championship games, but seeing as I've been busy writing the memoir that you will soon see on here and packing up my shit to head back to school (likely) later today.
With that being said, here are my final predictions for each of the games this weekend. And if you're smart, you'll run to Vegas, bet a lot of money on the team that I DON'T pick and you will be a millionaire in no time.
New Orleans over Arizona: I would not be shocked if we have yet another new record for highest scoring playoff game ever. However, I must say that I like the Saints at home in this one. They will be ready to play and will finally hand Arizona a playoff loss to an NFC foe.
Indianapolis over Baltimore: Baltimore will need to play a perfect just to stay close in this one. With Flacco's injury, I don't see how they will be able to keep up with the steady stream of points that we all know Peyton Manning and the Colts offense can put up on you.
Dallas over Minnesota: As much as it pains me to say it, it's the team that is peaking at the end of the year that does the most post-season damage. This year, that team is Dallas. Favre and co. might give them a run for their money but it's Brett Favre in the playoffs post-2000. If you're a Vikings fan, that should scare you greatly.
New York Jets over San Diegio: San Diego may have the longest win streak in the NFL right now, but if there is one proven fact of life, it is that, Norv Turner is not a big game coach. The Jets' defense is the best in the league and their running game can be dominating. For all the talk about how important QBs are, it's teams like the Jets that are the teams to watch out for in the playoffs. Sanchez is not going to put on an aerial show, he does not need to. All Sanchez needs to do is not make the big mistake in the game, and that is something that Sanchez has proven in the past that he can do.
