Well, I still have a lot of catching up to do with scoring, but I plan to get that done in the couple weeks between the conference championships and the Super Bowl.
In the meanwhile, here are these picks!
GAME OF THE WEEK - Sunday at 4:40 EST - New Orleans Saints (12-5) at Minnesota Vikings (13-3), MIN by 4.5 - Vikings fans have to be slobbering over this one -- a chance to knock out the Saints, who gave them a crushing playoff defeat after the 2009 season. That being said, the Vikings know how to choke in the playoffs better than any NFL franchise ever. They're destined to get knocked on their asses sooner or later, and the Saints have the balance on both sides of the ball to be the team to do it. UPSET! - Saints 27, VIkings 24
Atlanta Falcons (11-6) at Philadelphia Eagles (13-3), Saturday at 4:35 EST - ATL by 3 - Without Carson Wentz, the Eagles' playoff hopes have fully tanked. This game is a setup for a major NFC South showdown in the NFC Championship game. Falcons 31, Eagles 13
Tennessee Titans (10-7) at New England Patriots (13-3), Saturday at 8:15 EST - NE by 13.5 - Kudos to the Titans to getting past the Chiefs -- that had to be by far the most surprising result of last week's games. That being said, they're heading into Foxboro in January in primetime. They're not making it out of this one. Patriots 34, Titans 10
Jacksonville Jaguars (11-6) at Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4), Sunday at 1:05 EST - PIT by 7.5 - This is looking like a great matchup. If the Jaguars had a quarterback, they'd probably be the favorites to win the Super Bowl, but their defense is enough to keep them competitive with pretty much anyone. They blew the Steelers out in Pittsburgh earlier this season, so there's no reason to think they can't win again. However, the Steelers are playing much better ball now, and watching their offense in full sync against this Jaguars defense should be a lot of fun. I'm going with the safe bet in Pittsburgh, but would not be at all surprised to see an upset here. Steelers 20, Jaguars 13
