Championship Weekend

Jets and Steelers in the AFC. Packers and Bears in the NFC. No way I thought the Jets in this game but they made it. The question is what teams have what it takes to make it to the big game in Dallas?

The Jets have shown their defense can definately win them ball games. But can they really out play the Steelers at home? I don't think they can. Though its possible I am picking Pittsburgh. Mark Sanchez is getting better and they're line is playing some inspired football. But the Steeler defense is just too much. I'm actually going to give a score in these last blogs of the playoffs to give everyone a good look at how I'm feeling. 27-17 Pittsburgh in this one people.

Aaron Rodgers just played the best game of his playoff career. But so did Jay Cutler. After hearing the Bears say they were unhappy about the media solely talking about Rodgers after last weeks games I kind of agreed. Rodgers gas the luxury of playing behind a line that's been together a while and in a system that hasn't changed since he was drafted. While it did take a while the Bears offense has come together. And the Packers are a great team on both sides of the ball. But the Bears are simple. Coverage based defense with pressure coming from the front four rarely over load blitzing. I think the Packers have to count on the big play and it puts them at a disadvantage. When they played earlier this season Chicago played extremely deep with an extra safety on the field on almost every play. I see this working again. I'm going 30-24 Bears here. I picked them to make it to the Super Bowl to begin the season. So I have to stick with it.
