NFL Championship Games Predictions

[Jesse]

Well, 2-2 last weekend, 3-5 overall for the playoffs. I gotta run the table from here on out to go above .500

I'm gonna play it safe and go with the home teams this weekend, we'll see how that works

Chiefs over Titans. I'm leary on this one. If the Titans game plan the Chiefs as they did the Ravens last week, they CAN win this game. But I think their luck will run out this weekend. Chiefs aren't as good as they looked on Sunday, but they are still really great and have an excellent home field advantage.

49ers over Packers. good matchup between the 1 and 2 seed of the NFC. Both teams are 13-3 and are peaking at the right time. Close game, but I'm going with the home team.

Well, I looked like a genius yesterday! I was wobbley on both picks, but the outcomes made total sense in hindsight. Packers were crushed by the 49ers earlier this year and, apparently learned nothing. Packers flat out could not stop the run and Aaron Rodgers looked befuddled most of the game. As the game went on, they just made stupid mistakes that kept them from ever really contending. 49ers are the real deal. Totally balanced team, talent at every position.

I really wanted to take the Titans over the Chiefs, but decided to go with the home team. The Titans destroyed a Ravens team that was very similar to the Chiefs in the Divisional round. However, history usually dictates that these Cinderella story teams like the Titans, who barely make the playoffs at 9-7, more often than not, eventually look like that 9-7 team who barely made the playoffs!. Titans beat better teams in the Patriots and Ravens in the playoffs due to great game planning and I think they were just out of cards to play against the Chiefs. They had nothing left that the Chiefs didn't see in the previous two weeks and The Chiefs coaching staff had them prepared for anything and everything that the Titans could throw at them. Speaking of throwing, Titans probably should've put the ball in Tannehill's hands before they did. It was clear early on that the Chiefs D was prepared to stop Henry on the ground. Chiefs started out slow again and, like the Texans, the Titans couldn't capitalize enough to build the early lead that they needed. This slow start thing is something that the Chiefs are gonna have to remedy in the Super Bowl because the 49ers are a LOT better team than the Texans or Titans.

5-5 now this postseason!
