wipe that

The reason the Bronco win the AFC title...:  They play balls out perfect football.. Defense plays as good of game as they have all season, wrap up tackles and have very few penalties..  Offense moves the ball playing third down conversion football.. To me when you pick up first downs on third down it frustrates the opposition's defense and makes them tired.. On defense the
the Broncos let the Pats across mid field and only that far.. Like the first time they played the Chargers where they were in a close game but the offense was frustrated, Rivers couldn't get the team in a position to score even a field goal to get closer on the score board..

On the other hand the Broncos lose because they have only played relatively well all season.. The highlights have been the Packers game and the first Patriots meeting where Osweiler had a fairly good game and was anointed the leader of the team, taking the team into the playoffs.. er to the almost playoffs..   The team loses because Bilicheck is the coach.. Kubiak is stuck in his ways.. Manning has to be allowed to run up tempo when he sees fit, Kubiak doesn't want to let Peyton run that in Denver.. Not even when it is proven change of pace.. Could Manning have a crappy enough game to be pulled out??  All the receivers have to do is catch the ball.. Something that seemed like not even a prayer could get them to do.. The Pats win tomorrow because that is what they do.. Brady is quite good under pressure.. But if the defense can dump him on his ass a lot then that would be great.. Frustrate him..  Sure they have a lot of injuries, who doesn't.. Hopefully this is the season that Mannig wins his second title, rides off into the sunset and waits for the Hall of fame to come a callin'


The second game, the NFC title game I pick the Cardinals to pull off the upset.. if they can keep the game close going into the forth quarter they can win.. The Panthers seem to play themselves out of juice by the forth quarter and then try to hold on for the win.. If it is tight going into the forth.. The birds win.. Possibly even if they are not that close..

I predict the broncos win 31-27  and the Cards to win 42-41
