Playoff Picks -- The Three-quel

2-2 last week, making a 5-3 postseason record. Not surprised about the Bears, but blown away by the dominance of the Steelers -- it wasn't as close as the score, thanks to some interesting refereeing...

NFC Championship Game

Panthers at Seahawks

Panthers are clearly road warriors, and their defense is real solid. The Seahawks, however, have Shaun Alexander back, and were able to score 20 on another good defense without him. If Alexander gets 100, Seahawks win, and I'm betting he'll get there. Seahawks to go Super.


AFC Championship Game

Steelers at Broncos

Going to play the percentages this weekend. No 6th seed in the playoffs has ever gone to the Super Bowl. Bill Cowher is 1-4 in AFC Championship games. Broncos are nearly a carbon copy of the Steelers -- run, run run, QBs who manage a game, but can make plays when asked, solid O and D-lines, fast, playmaking LBs, and solid secondaries. Broncos in a close one.
