Championship Games

So here we are the last NFL weekend before the Super Bowl. In the NFC you have the 1 and 2 teams and in the AFC you have the 1 seed verse the underdog surprise team. It will be a fun end to the NFL season.

Jets at Colts
Defense verse offense. The best qb in the NFL verse the best defense in the NFL. Who wins? Do the Jets get lucky and have Stover miss two or three field goals much like in the first two rounds of the playoffs. When these two teams met in week 16 the Colts sat their starters midway through the 3rd quarter. This lead to a Jet victory and a chance for the Jets to make the playoffs and to standing here. At the time the Colts pulled their starters they were up 15-10. The Jets offense did not do much (kickoff return for a td) and Peyton found a way to get the ball to his receivers all day. If you asked me a few weeks ago about this game I would have said the Colts would win by two touchdowns. Now I believe the Jets defense has hit their stride and are believing themselves and are making me and many other believers. Also the Jets run game has been excellent the last few weeks. For these two reasons I see a close game. The way I see this game playing out is that the Colts will have a 20-14 lead in the 4th quarter. Peyton and the Colts offense will have the ball and need a td to more or less end the game. Peyton being the player that he is will throw a late td to end the Jets dream season. The Colts win 27-14. One other interesting note about this game the winner will send a rookie head coach to the Super Bowl for the first time.

Vikings at Saints
The battle of offenses that play great on turf. This will be a great game. I expect a high scoring game. The Saints can score anywhere at anytime and the Vikings can do the same. Did Reggie Bush show last week what he can do? If yes the Saints will be hard to stop. Which Favre will show up? The one we saw last week who hit everyone and had a near perfect game or the gunslinger who makes ill advised throws. I do not expect to see the gunslinger. This game may come down to who has the ball last. I see a close game but since the Saints are at home (where it is tough for an away team to play) and Brees gets rid of the ball so quickly I see them winning 31-27.

So my new updated Super Bowl has the two number on seeds meeting in Miami.
