Championship Weekend


Packers @ Bears Sun 3:00 FOX
Why the Packers will win:
They are the hottest team in the NFL...it took the Packers committing a franchise-record in penalties to beat them in week 3...they have been playing playoff games since week 16...Aaron Rodgers...they can play in bad weather like the bears...their defense vs. Bears O-Line--advantage Pack...Jay Cutler in a big game...again, did you see Aaron Rodgers last week? He might be Jesus.

Why the Bears will win:
Bears are at home...they are the healthiest team in the NFL...Cutler has been making good decisions...for some reason their defense has frustrated Rodgers this season...Devin Hester...Packers run has to end sometime...everyone is on the Packers...they find ways to win.

The Pick: Packers 23 Bears 17




Jets @ Steelers Sun 6:30 CBS

Why the Jets will win:
Much like the Packers they are on fire...they are playing their best football right now...Sanchez has been (gulp) careful with the football...Tomlinson looks like this is 2006...Bart Scott "can't wait"...they beat them in Pittsburgh already...they have won a ridiculous 4 road playoff games in 2 seasons...Jets seem to just find ways to win all season...they haven't gone since Super Bowl III and they aren't the Cubs.

Why the Steelers will win:
The game is in Pittsburgh...Roethlisberger has 2 rings and is 9-2 in the playoffs...Troy Polamalu...their run defense can make Jets one dimensional...Jets played their Super Bowl last week...Mike Wallace is really fast...the kind of football the Jets like to play--the steelers are better at...the last time the Jets went to the Super Bowl we hadn't landed on the moon yet.

The Pick: Steelers 17 Jets 9
