NFL Picks: Conference Championships


#2 Patriots @ #1 Broncos 2:05 PM CT CBS
It's the Brady-Manning Bowl for the 17th and likely final time, with the AFC Championship in Denver. Except this time, it's Denver's #1 outstanding defense trying to slowdown a Patriot attack which overmatched the Chiefs last weekend. I think Gronk is an ex-factor and New England's underrated defense shuts down the Broncos' running game, forcing Manning to try to beat them. I don't think that will happen, as Peyton rides off into the sunset two wins shy of a second ring.


#2 Cardinals @ #1 Panthers 5:40 PM CT FOX
In the NFC Championship, two great defenses clash with Arizona and Carolina. In the end, I think it comes down to QB play. Carson Palmer looked like a mess last weekend, while Cam Newton is still playing on an MVP-level. Give me the Panthers in a nailbiter.

Last week: 3-1
Playoffs record: 7-1
