If things went according to form in Saturday's divisional round, Sunday was everything but the norm. Down went home fielders Indianapolis and Dallas, at the hands of the Bolts and Jints respectively.
So the Final Four are set: San Diego at New England for the AFC Championship and New York at Green Bay for the NFC Title. Of the four teams, Green Bay has to be the biggest surprise of them all, at least based on how the Pack were viewed nationally heading into the year. But the Giants are an unquestioned stunner as well, especially given myriad injuries to a team that could ill afford them.
But here we are, and away we go with our conference championship predictions.
AFC, up first:
San Diego at New England. I like the Patriots to win, 34-24. But the Bolts look like a solid pick against the line given the spread of 13.5.
NFC, number two:
New York at Green Bay. I like the Packers in a rout, 38-21. Too much Favre and Grant in the icy cold conditions of Lambeau Field, the spread of 7.5 points seems too small to me as well.
