It's Championship Weekend!!!

Well folks, it’s that time of year. We are simply one day away from determining which two NFL squads will suit up for the biggest event in professional sports.

Here is how things are going to go down. Undoubtedly.

Chargers at Patriots:

The AFC Championship this year sees the 17-0 Patriots hosting the red-hot (though I guess you can’t be much hotter than the Pats are) San Diego Chargers. The Chargers come into this game off a huge victory in Indianapolis where they upset the Colts in a convincing fashion.

Even without Antonio Gates, the Chargers should make this game a little more interesting than people expect. The key will be the Chargers D. If they show up the way they have showed up for most of the year, Tom Brady could find himself coming out cold. Literally.

The game will be one of the coldest games the Charger franchise has EVER played. Good luck.

Patriots 31, Chargers 24

Giants at Packers:

It’s extremely difficult to pick against the Packers at home in the Playoffs. Not many teams are successful there (unless superman with a number 7 on his chest in under center) but something tells me that Eli isn’t going to go down without a fight.

The whole world may think I’m nuts but I’m going with the Giants to continue their miraculous streak and end the Pack's season. Eli goes nuts, Jacobs runs over a lot of people, Strahan keeps his chances of going out on top, Giants win.

Giants 21, Packers 17
