Flea Flicker Conference Championship Predictions

The NFL is down to a final four teams. Before the season, I’m not sure any of these teams were expected to be one step from Super Bowl LX. Maybe the Rams. That’s why they play the regular season and have a playoff tournament. Here are guesses at the NFC and AFC Championship games.

New England Patriots @ Denver Broncos
Pick: Patriots

The last time the Patriots and Broncos played for an AFC Championship, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady were the quarterbacks. Manning won that game for the Broncos. I think Drake Maye leads the Patriots to a win in this game. 

Los Angeles Rams @ Seattle Seahawks
Pick: Rams

While I think they are a fine team heading in the right direction, I don’t want to see the Seahawks in another Super Bowl. Three is enough for a fan base that finally realized they had a team around 2004. The Rams winning Super Bowl LVI and now challenging for Super Bowl LX has revealed to everyone that Matthew Stafford is a great quarterback. He was a great quarterback before he arrived in Los Angeles. It’s just that the Detroit Lions were terrible so no one knew that he was great. Or cared that he was great. I like Stafford to find a way to get the Rams past the Seahawks.
