It has come down to this weekend in the NFL playoffs. The Patriots will play at Indianapolis and the Saints play at Chicago. Last weekend had some great football and these two games this weekend have all the potential to go to right down to the last play or overtime as any. Last weekend was the first time in a long time I picked a perfect weekend 4-0 because I made my picks a little different. I picked from my gut instinct for once instead of the overwhelming populus that all pick the same way, using logic.
AFC Championship - Tom Brady will give his team the lead late in the game, less than a minute left. But they score to soon and Peyton Manning gets over the hump like Steve Young, and gets the Colts to the Super Bowl. Manning gets the close enough for Adam Viniteri to kick the winning field goal as time expires winning 30-28. Using logic you would see that the Colts and Patriots defenses have been dominant in the playoffs and both quarterbacks have been unimpresive, so the game will be low scoring and the Patriots win. But going by my gut the Colts win 30-28. I can't believe I am picking against Tom Brady, that is gut rule number one (1. Never pick against Tom Brady in the playoffs!)
NFC Championship - daaaa Bears run out of big plays when it all counts and Drew Brees and the Saints carry the city of New Orleans to the Super Bowl. The Bears won a lot of games they should not have won this year with punt/kick returns, fumble returns for TDs, ints for TDs, and playing the Detroit Lions twice. The Saints can do so much for the morale of a city in depression from huricane Katrina. The Owner had talked of moving the team as well. The Saints may have the mojo and the players that fit well enough to put it all together to get to the Super Bowl. They had added just about every position they needed and brought in not only all the right players but coachs as well. Rex Grossman loses this game for Chicago with four turnovers and the Saints win 34-13. They don't get all the breaks that got them to this point in this game.
Sorry, Colts fans! Patriots will win with our without rodney harrison and Viniteri. We have Gostkowski now and although it'll be a close game, it will be Pats 28-colts 24 in the last 4 minutes of the game. Adam Viniteri will miss a field goal first time in a dome and BRady will be able to say Adam! You left You lost! Pats vs Saints in the superbowl will be Pats 28 Saints 20 and if we face the Bears it'll be 28-24 Pariots. Either way I think it'll be close games, but the Pat's will to win will come through each time. We have overcome adversity every superbowl and playoff game, and this season will be no different. Its starting to feel like one of those years when the whole country hates us and is against us and we come through anyway. I say its New Orleans year in the NFC, Patriots in the AFC, New Orleans will upset Chicago and play New England it'll be closer than most expect but a last 2 min to go touchdown from Brady will take out the Saints in the superbowl.
Wow! What an accurate prediction! HA!
Bears 30 Colts 10
If Peyton doesn't play well the Colts lose..
if Rex doesn't play well the defense and the special teams still might bail out the Bears..
Colts have no chance.
