NFL Picks: Conference Championships

Sunday, January 18

Packers
2:05 PM

Seahawks
It will be the #1 defense against the #1 scoring offense in the NFC Championship game in Seattle. I think the Seahawks defense takes advantage of a gimpy Aaron Rodgers by pressuring him early and often. Richard Sherman and the Legion of Boom secondary contain Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and the Green Bay receivers, and Marshawn Lynch has a big day to lead the defending champs back to the Super Bowl.


Colts
5:40 PM

Patriots
In the AFC Championship, it will be Andrew Luck vs. Tom Brady in what could be a shootout of explosive passing offenses. The key of the game, however, will be whether the Colts can stop the Patriots' ground game, which pounded out over 200 yards earlier this year on a Sunday night game in Indy. While I think the Colts' rush defense is better, I don't know if they can get enough pressure on Tom Brady, as New England should reach another Super Bowl.

Last week: 2-2
Season record: 175-84-1
