AFC-NFC Championship Sunday!

Possibly one of my most favorite days of the year - actually better than Super Bowl Sunday, because there are TWO games and they're usually more exciting than the SB!! Time for a little prognostication:

PHL @ AZ

Say what you want about Philly & their defense, it all comes down to two guys - Donovan & Andy. If Donovan gets down, the offense will suffer. If Andy gets dumb, ditto. The AZ defense likes to blitz, running the ball won't be so easy. Call me kooky, but so far in these playoffs I see a team that's CRAZY inspired and playing kick-ass football. I'll take Fitz & Q over Baskett & Headcase this time....

AZ 31 PHL 20

BAL @ PIT

Not an easy game to pick, who knows which Ben will show up? I've seen this guy look like Johnny Unitas and Johnny Suckjob, sometimes in the same game. The networks & announcers LOVE him. Me, not so much. Looks like the Ravens got a chip on their shoulder, too. Their offense needs to punch harder than a cheerleader this game, but their defense is what can win it for them. This should be a low-scoring affair.

BAL 17 PIT 13

of course, this is all just speculation, but if you're a betting man, I would seriously consider taking all the points Sunday - good luck! This year, the Super Bowl is for the BIRDS!
