Here we go, Super bowl teams will be decided today

This is a good Sunday for the NFL. Both conference championship games offer attractive match ups. In both games we have what appears to be the two best teams playing one another which isn't always the case this time of year. In the AFC we have the seemingly always young Brady going against the aging incredibly fast Manning. Of course, it isn't Brady vs Manning. It is the Pats vs the Broncos but the prior is more headline worthy. In the NFC we have the Panthers vs the Cards. The Panthers had the best record in the NFL during the regular season and the Cards sport a stout defense and a potentially explosive offense.

So, lets call it now.....
AFC:Pats vs Broncos
This pic is the easier one for me. The Pats struggled down the stretch and then eviscerated KC last week. Brady looks sharp and he will have both Gronk and Edelman playing. That is huge. If those two can stay healthy, they will move the ball on the broncos and with Brady, that will mean points scored.

On the other side of the ball  you have Manning. I won't even go into the rest of the offense/team here. Manning is the key for the Broncos because they absolutely have the defense they need to win the game but they have that one glaring problem. Manning. He has thrown 9 td to 17 ints this season. His passes look like mine in bad wind and he is playing against one of the best coaches in NFL history. I expect Manning to continue to struggle against the Pats. If the broncos win, it will be the defense doing it and that is going to take a hurculean effort.

I am taking the Pats to win over the Broncos.

NFL:Panthers vs Cards
This pic is far more difficult to make. On one hand, you have a 15-1 team that has looked like the best team in the league. On the other hand, you have a Cards team, my mid season pick as best team in the NFC, that always seems to do just enough to win games with a coach that never plays scared. One side, you have one of the douchiest players in the league in Scam newton on the other side you have the exceptional class of Larry Fitzgerald. Nothing would make me more NFL happy today than to see the Cards win today but they have one problem. Palmer's injury to his throwing hand. That dramatically changes the outlook of this game for me so reluctantly I have to...

Take the Panthers over the Cards.

(Please prove me wrong. Scam needs a reality check. He has been douching up the NFL all year and someone needs to bitch slap his showboating disrespectful ass. Having Larry be one of the players doing it would just add icing on the cake.)
