NFL AFC/NFC Championships: Are We There Yet Week?
San Diego Chargers vs. New England Patriots
After being full of trash talk since beating the Colts last week, now the Chargers get to take their mouthy show on the road to Foxborough. Philip Rivers expects to cry, I mean play this week. After watching T.O. cry last week, I know some of us were hoping to see Cheeks cry this week, but really, if I saw Cry Baby Rivers in actual tears it would make my week. Let’s examine the facts: the Patriots have really taken their foot off the gas lately, and the Chargers aren’t sucking as much as they did earlier in the season, but old Bill isn’t going to let those boys lose. He’ll beat them to death with his sweatshirt before that happens. New England by 7.
New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers
Now, I love little Eli Manning. I may be the only (albeit very independent, largely unread) media source that hasn’t blasted him all season. That being said, let’s be honest. The Giants chances of winning in Green Bay are about as likely as a sobriety day at Lambeau Field. The Giants look good on the road, but I don’t think they’ll look like a win this week. Brett Favre is too magical and the Giants pass rush isn’t that good. Brett Favre is a little bit more mature than that Tony Romo character, he can take it. Packers by 14. Sorry Eli, you’ll be watching the Super Bowl in Peyton’s living room this year.
In other news, Mike Carey will become the first black referee in Super Bowl history. AND he can vote too! What is this, 1975?
