Predictions for Championship games

[bobbyinlondon]

I'm feeling especially good after correctly predicting 3 out of 4 last weekend (how could I pick the Bears?)

You know you just screwed yourself, right?


24 - 20, Steelers
27 - 17, Panthers

Nope--I thought that the Broncos would lose because it was Plummer's first championship game experience and before that, he is prone to making mistakes.

I saw nothing from Carolina that impressed me. I mean, the Giants putting an 87 year old Terrell Buckley on Steve Smith and then the Bears not even bothering to double-cover him?
I felt that Holmgren and Marshall would have a plan for him--and they did.  Plus, Carolina played two inexperienced QBs, neither of which reminded me of a young Donavan McNabb, who put the Eagles on his shoulders 2 years in a row to go deep into the playoffs.

Incidentally, I look for the Panthers to be in the Terrell Owens mix. After Smith was shut down, they had no one to go to. They had 89 TOTAL YARDS at the end of 3 qtrs, and 41 of them came on one play.
