Conference Championship Picks

The Flea Flicker is 6-2 picking NFL playoff games this year. Lost with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round. Lost with the Denver Broncos in the Divisional round.

Now for the Conference Championship games. Some think that this day is more exciting than the Super Bowl. Well, that depends on the Super Bowl. There have been a handful of games on a single regular season Sunday that were more exciting than many of the 48 Super Bowls. Let's just hope for an exciting, thrilling Super Bowl in two weeks and exciting, thrilling Conference Championship games today. Here's how the Flea Flicker sees them:

Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks
-Packers
I still think that the Seahawks have had their bags packed for Glendale since they won the big game in New Jersey. Teams that certain of a win often don't win. Seahawks safety Earl Thomas doesn't think that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a calf injury. Well, the guess here is that Rodgers will play like Thomas is right. Rodgers will earn that MVP trophy that he'll likely receive in two weeks.

Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots
-Patriots
The Colts are the least talented team still standing but it's real hard to pick against Andrew Luck. He's picked up his team and is just carrying it. He's raised the level of play of everyone around him. As hard as it is to pick against Luck it's even harder to pick against Bill Belichick and Tom Brady in a game this deep into the playoffs.

There you go. Packers vs Patriots. Glendale. Two weeks.
