Flea Flicker Conference Predictions

And then there were four. The Conference Championships are today.

AFC Championship

Jacksonville Jaguars @ New England Patriots
Pick: Patriots
It's tough to pick against Bill Belichick and Tom Brady in any postseason games. It's even tougher to pick against them against a team with so little experience in big games. The Jaguars defense is loaded with talent but they've been torched by the San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers in the past month.

NFC Championship

Minnesota Vikings @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Vikings
Case Keenum and Nick Foles. Who would've thought that these two quarterbacks would be leading their respective teams to the Conference Championship? And one of them leading their team to the Super Bowl. I like the chances of Keenum getting something going against the Eagles excellent defense more than Foles getting something going against the Vikings excellent defense. The Vikings can't repeat the second half mistakes that allowed the New Orleans Saints to get back in last week's Division round game. My poor heart can't take another finish like that one.
