Okay lets start off in the AFC where the 15-1 Steelers host the 14-2 Pats

This looks to be a great game featuring two brilliant coaches and two very tough football teams. Both teams defences were brilliant last week with the Steelers allowing only a field goal to the Jets, and the Pats doing the same against the high octane Colts. Both teams were able to run the ball effectively last week, but the key difference is that Tom Brady was much better than Roethlisberger at the QB position. The Steelers special teams also surrendered a return TD to the Jets as well. I think this is going to be a close hard fought game between two teams that were in this positon 3 seasons ago. Again I think the Pats will prevail in a close game, with Brady's big game experience being the difference, but it's going to be a helluva a fight. Pats 10-7

Over to the NFC where the 11-5 Falcons go into Philly to face the 13-3 Eagles. As we're all aware this is the 4th straight year that the Eagles are in the NFC Championship, and are hosting it for the third consecutive year. Recently the Falcons forked over enough dough to make Mike Vick the highest paid contract in football. Why? Because the Falcons feel Micheal Vick is the man that can win them games like this. This game features two teams with mobile quarterbacks and good defences. I think this will be a reasonably close and good game. Two years ago Michael Vick was shelled in Philly in the playoffs. This time he doesn't get shelled, but that doesn't mean he wins. The Eagles finally come through with a 24-21 win to go to the big dance.
