Out Side Looking In: AFC/NFC Championship Games | miami95's Blog

With the Championship game this weekend, it signals an end to the football season and we can start to do our mock draft. There are going to be historic match ups this weekend and the Eagles take on the Cards the Ravens the Steelers all have more than proven their worth to be here. There is no saying that team got hot, that team played and easy team, if only, and the other team was nicked up. No excuses, all four team played football the way it should be played with great ball control and little to no turnovers. We will focus on the first game played on Sunday.

Philadelphia 9-6-1 (Road: 3-4-1) at Arizona 9-7 (Home: 6-2)

The Cardinals a led by Kurt Warner who has been to a Super Bowl or two, winning one over the Titans and losing the second to the Patriots, Warner could become only the second qb in the history of the NFL to take two teams to a Super Bowl. Donovan McNabb shares something in common with Warner a Super Bowl loss to the Patriots, McNabb is looking for his second Super Bowl birth, both qbs have shown great leadership and have a running back that can grinding the clock out and pick up somw yards. The Cards will go on to represent the NFC as its Champion this year, more offensive weapons, the d is doing the right things and the Edge is back.

Baltimore 11-5 (Road: 5-3) at Pittsburgh 12-4 (Home: 6-2)

This season the Steelers are 2-0 agains the Ravens as they will play for a third time this year. Steelers are vets and two/three years removed from their Championship run Big Ben looks to take out the Ravens for a 3rd time and play in his second Super Bowl. This will no doubt come down to who make the first mistake as this will be a low scoring game and if you are a fan of defensive struggles this will be the game of the year. The Ravens are playing just slightly better that their 2000 Super Bowl run with more take aways and only 2 less sacks. The Steelers might have more offencive weapon than the Ravens and their D might not be a nicked up, the reason most are picking the Steelers to win, I have already picked the Cards to win and that was my upset special, I am not going to pick the Ravens to win so we can have the Bird Bowl. The Steelers will win not bc/ the Ravens are nicked up; those guys play like they just started the season every down, but bc the Steelers just have the Ravens number this year.

Thats all I have for now, let me know what ya think and your picks.
