Conference Championship Predictions





AFC Championship: Chargers @ Patriots

The Chargers? A fantastic job by backups, special teams, and 4th Quarter defense let the Chargers upset the Colts, to move on to the AFC Championship. With LT and Philip Rivers sitting on the bench with injuries, Billy Volek rushed the Chargers down the field to go ahead 28-24. Then, it was the San Diego Defense that secured the rest.

Next up for the Chargers are this little 'ole team called the New England Patriots. The Chargers need LT, Gates and Rivers to ALL be healthy if they want a close game. I expect the Chargers to put up a great fight against the Patriots. It will be a back and forth game for 59 minutes. But one team will charge down the field in the last minute and book their trip to Arizona. That team is the Pats, who will move on with a late field goal.

Prediction: Chargers-28... Patriots-31



NFC Championship: Giants @ Packers

The Giants were able to upset the Cowboys to move on with great play by Eli Manning and physical team defense, despite injury.

The NFC Championship will be a tough contest between 2 surprise teams. No one expected these 2 teams to be here at the start of the season, but here they are. You know Lambo will be cold and loud, as usual. I expect a monumental choke-job by one Eli Manning, leading to a strong victory by the Packers.

Prediction: Giants-13... Packers-34
