NFL Chapionship Games

[John_Anderson 0]

Alright if some how noticed I posted my predictions for the NFC and AFC Championship games this Sunday. I can't help it that I have an obession with Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Football. I'm an oddball. :). Just for those of you who are not very knowlegeable in Football, there are two different leagues in the NFL, the NFC and the AFC. All the teams in each league play over a season and then top teams in each division play in the playoffs where the victors in each league play a championship game. The winners of the Championship games then go on to play one another in the Super Bowl and whoever wins there becomes the World Champions. Hope the explantion helps. :)

 

As you can see in the NFC I predict the Philidelphia Eagles over the Carolina Panthers since this is the Eagles third time going to the championship game, losing in 2001 to the St. Louis Rams (Who lost to New England in the Super Bowl), and then in 2002 lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Who won the Super Bowl beating the Raiders. Which I did predict since defense always wins and the Bucs Super Bowl defense is one of the best in the history of football.). The Panthers are going to put up a fight, but McNabb is going to carry the Eagles.

 

In the AFC I predict the New England Patriots over the Indianpolis Colts, both teams are red hot. But Coach Bill Belichick's defense, the best in the league this season, is going to shut down the Colts star quarterback, and co-MVP, Payton Manning. Remember defense always prevails over offense in football. :D

 

So for my Super Bowl prediction, should I be wrong with either of my predicitons, I'll make a general prediction. Should either the Colts or the Patriots win, either team will win the Super Bowl. The Colts offense is stupendous, while the Patriots defense is hard to beat. Neither the Panthers or the Eagles stand a chance against either the Colts or the Patriots. They would crush the Eagles or the Panthers in a head to head match up.

 

So there it is, my predictions. Who do you think is going to win the AFC and NFC championship games?

 

Who do you think might win the Super Bowl. Please enlighten me. :)

Well, I'm not too much of a football fan, but here goes:

 

Réal Madrid all the way! (With players like Beckham and Ronaldo, they're quite a force to be reconed with! lol j/k, you said football.. which is what the world calls 'soccer' :)) Anyways, in the Superbowl.. I think it'll be the Patriots vs. the Eagles. I see Philadelphia winning it. I even had a dream about it.. kinda weird, but I want to see if it comes true. :) Plus, Philly's got a good team this year, I watched some of their games. They can take it. If the Anaheim Mighty Ducks can make it to the Stanley Cup Finals, anything can happen! :D

LOL Interesting choices there Hans.

 

So as a correction this is all about American Football. Just incase anybody would become confused in the near future :).

I hope it'll be the patriots against the panthers, with the pats winning. Im still super pissed about the Packers losing, so I dont want the egales to go anyfarther.

 

Perfect Payton cant last too much longer anyway.

Wouldn't you rather like that the Eagles win it all so that way you can be comforted in knowing that the Packers lost to the guys that won it all. So if they had won they could have won it all. Not to mention that Farve cost the game for the Packers with that horrible throw he made in Overtime.

 

Something to think about.

 

My predictions were made solely on facts. I personally hate the Panthers and the Colts. But that doesn't mean I don't think they are capable winning. I try not to let my feelings get in the way of my better judgement. . But all the teams in the championships can still win it and beat the spread. That's why I never carve my predictions in stone. :)

Carolina at Philly: McNabb will blow this one...big. While the Eagles may have been a decent regular season team these last few years, their will to win in the playoffs does not reach the potential of reaching the superbowl. Although McNabb is a decent quarterback, he lacks the true leadership to take the team over the top. The Panthers, on the other hand, have nothing to lose and will be prepared for the Philly offense. Teams with nothing to lose are often the most dangerous teams. Watch for Delhomme to come up big on third downs. Carolina will win 23-7.

 

Indy at New England: Good ol' Billy B will have Indy figured out within the first ten minutes of the football game. Although Manning is hot, the Patriots will double cover Marvin Harrison all game and we will truly see that the Colts have an inability to score when Harrison is taken out of the offensive equation. Watch for a Patriots RB to rush 80-120 yards. Patriots 31-17.

Nice predictions ya got there Grom. Most impressive. It's safe to say that the Philly vs. Panthers game is going to be a very interesting one to watch.

 

Actually both championship games are going to fun to watch, but I'm looking most forward to the NFC one, since I'm about 90% sure the Patriots are going to squash the Colts in the AFC. :).

 

In the Panthers game I'm sure Delhomme is going to play marvelously but the Panthers might be missing there awesome RB Stephen Davis. And that might hurt them in the game, and maybe Delhomme will manage. But we'll see. :D. And McNabb might not blow this one. Sure this isn't the great Eagles team that played last year or the year before, but they understand what's on the line. And they are going to play there hearts out and try and win this one.

 

Completely agree with on the Colts vs. Patriots game, ya got some great points. :).

Once again Nem I have to bearer of bad news. Canada is not real, it's a make believe land in which fairies and elves walk freely. With chocolate milk rivers and free medicare. :). Not even close to anything real.

 

So that CFL you guys have is just a figment of your imagination. :)

 

Sorry to break the news to ya mate.

Hey don't worry John I am also obsessed with those three things....

 

Anyway here goes...

 

The Superbowl will be Colts vs Eagles...

 

here is why, The Patriots are smoke and mirrors, and haven't played a team the caliber of the Colts in the playoffs, and the last time that they did, the Colt looked pretty Good in the Second half. Plus Peyton Manning is playing the best football of anyone in the PLayoffs, yeah did you see him last week? That and I hate the Pats. COLTS 38-31

 

As for the Eagles that pretty simple as i said about the Pats, the Panthers are smoke and mirrors too, and its going to be too cold for there to be anysmoke, it will just freeze up. Number two...Stephen Davis is hurt, which means 'Daylight Come and I wanna Delhome' will have to win them the ball game...and that my friends isn't happening (ut will force them to be one dimentional against a very good team, that just asking for it). However, if the panthers manage to get this to OT...they win...but that won't happen (hopefully). EAGLES 31-17

Now, now, there Dak. That isn't entirely true. The Titans had a good offense of the same calliber of the Colts. It was just McNair made a few mistakes in the 4th quarter, and that's what cost them the game. Manning is going to pull one of those miracles out of his hat like he always does, but the Patriots learned their lesson when they played the Colts in the 13th week after leading over the Colts 31-10 at the start of the 4th quarter. The miracle boy Manning managed to salvage them, but they still lost to Patriots defense. Belichick is a very clever man and is going to see right through Manning again in the Championship game. :)

HE WEARS HOODED SWEATSHIRTS TO COACH IN!!!

 

Anyway, the Patriots do have a good defense, but Manning is going to be prepared for it, let me just says this, if he plays the way he has throught the playoffs the Colts win, and may i remind you that according to most people, the Colts were going to lose in the Wild Card and again in the Divsionals...So Yeah

ROFL!

 

Okay Dak. Actually I knew they were going to beat Denver but the game that surprised me was the Kansas City game. Both teams had good offenses but the Kansas City defense was always questionable. And they just couldn't hold up against the Colts offense.

 

What a disappointment. But it was a good game. But New England is going to lock down the Colts offense. Even though Manning is going to pull one of his 4th quarter miracle drives. Like I said Defense always prevails over Offense in Football (i.e. Last years Super Bowl had the number 1 Defense(Bucs) against the number 1 Offense (Raiders) in the NFL, and look who won).

 

I always love using that example. :).

 

Not to mention that in the AFC game we have the best defenses going up against one of best offenses in the league. That's why the Pats are odd's on favorites to win. :).

Oh YEA! Patriots just beat the Colts, no shock there. :). Hope the Eagles pull it out of there hat in the NFC so both of my predictions for today are right.

 

WOO-HOO. Take that Perfect Payton! MWA HA HA :).

 

Sorry....Couldn't contain myself. :D. Nice to see them head off to the Super Bowl again though.
