It's the game we've all been waiting for, and it should be one hell of a matchup!
There are a lot of reasons why I'm going for the green and gold today.
A.) Worthlessberger is still a douchebag. I don't care how nice he's been since his latest rape accusation or about the PR move he made by getting engaged, he should have been charged with the crime. If you don't believe me see http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5078589 and we'll talk.
B.) I made the prediction back in Week One, right here on this very blog, that the Packers would make it to the Super Bowl this year. That's right, go check out Week One's predictions, I said it, now like it.
C.) I like watching Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, and Donald Driver play. Who doesn't? Oh, that's right, Steeler Nation. They better hope Polamalu is in rare form to today to take on the Packers. Maybe his rich, luxurious hair could suit up in another uniform. After all, during the last two seasons the Steelers are 14-4 when Polamalu is in, 5-7 when he is out. That's a very different team that you're playing. And Mike McCarthy will make sure that his offense is working every way but Polamalu's way in today's game.
GO PACK!

Championship Sunday!
All right people, are you ready for today's games? We have a couple of impressive Championship games today and yours truly is going green all the way. That's right, first up in the NFC Championship:
Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears
An amazing rivalry and it's only the second time the teams have met in the playoffs. Amazing! Either way, I think that the Packers are a better team and Aaron Rodgers is a better, more humble QB. Jay Cutler may have matured this last season, but the fits he's thrown in the NFL and his apparent love for the self more than the team or the game is troubling. That being said, go Cheeseheads!
For the AFC Championship:
New York Jets @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Again, I'm going green in this game. Rex Ryan may be a big ol' cocky blowhard, but he's put a lot into this Jets team to turn them around in the couple of years that he's been there. I still believe Tomlin was handed the keys to a readily built team and that he will struggle once he has to start making adjustments. Add that to the fact that I believe his QB is a douchebag, and again I'm going green. J! E! T! S! Let's go Jets!

Divisional Weekend!
Are you ready for it? The Jets were last week and the Saints certainly weren't ready for it last week, making my predictions go 2-2. Let's see if it goes a little more smoothly this week, shall we?
Ravens @ Steelers
This will be a great, close, defensive battle between two divisional rivals as it usually is. And though I usually want the Ravens to win, the Steelers will probably win this matchup again.
Packers @ Falcons
Way back at the beginning of the season I predicted that the Packers would make it to the Super Bowl. They've had to fight the last few weeks of the regular season and take on Mike Vick and the Eagles last week, but I think the Pack is still hungry for more bird meat. Though this will be a more difficult game against a very good Falcons team.
Seahawks @ Bears
The Seahawks may have stunned the Bears back in Week Six, but I don't think it's likely it will happen again. (Unless the Hawks are meant to be the Underdog that gets to topple the Giant, like the Giants a few years back when they ended the Patriots' perfect season at the Super Bowl.) Anywho, look for whiny Cutler and the Bears to match up against the Packers in the NFC Championship game.
Jets @ Patriots
I had been hoping for another Peyton Manning/Bill Belichick chess game of football, but alas, the large loudmouth and the Jets won it last week and now get to look forward to losing at Foxboro. While I don't believe the score will be 45-3 again, the Pats should easily win against the Jets.
Ravens @ Steelers

Wild Card Weekend!
Are you ready for the first round of playoffs? Are the playoff teams ready for their games? Will my playoff picks improve my regular season picking score of (57%) 146-110? We can only hope so.
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday:
Saints @ Seahawks
Yes, the Hawks are playing at home. Yes, they beat the Rams last week, mostly because they were at home. Yes, they are in the playoffs at 7-9. (WTF?) But yes, they also faced three quality teams in the second half of the season (Chiefs, Giants, and Falcons) and lost by an average of 23 points all at Qwest Field. Even the banged up, warm weather, dome loving Saints should be able to win this game on the road.
Jets @ Colts
Rex Ryan has not been able to defend against Peyton Manning. Peyton is just too good and he has home field advantage this week. Look for Rex to be packing it home after this weekend and to start his trash talking some time after the Super Bowl-when we all forget that he and his precious Jets lost during the Wild Card weekend.
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday:
Ravens @ Chiefs
The Chiefs have come a long way this season, but it all ends in Arrowhead on Sunday when the Ravens come to town. The Ravens' offense may be mediocre, but if their defense holds up through all four quarters they can easily beat the Chiefs, who just don't have as many weapons or tough players as the Ravens.
Packers @ Eagles
The Pack is a team that many of us picked to go to the Super Bowl at the start of the season. And the last few weeks of the season we watched as they fought for their right to be in the playoffs, (after all, no one expected the Bears to take the NFC North this season). The Pack will still be riding their momentum as they head into Philly. And while Vick and the Eagles have been packing quite the punch, they still don't have as strong of a team as the Pack does.

Final Regular Season Picks!
Sunday Sunday SUNDAY! It's the last day of regular season football everyone! Hope you are enjoying the start of the morning games and the late morning picks.
The last weekend we have to endure the craptastic games and they are:
Panthers @ Falcons
It's a walk in the park for the Falcons, and the Panthers are playing bad enough to not care about their last game. They already have the first pick in the draft.
Bills @ Jets
A lot of people are picking this game as the upset of the week because the Jets don't have to play to win. The Jets will play for pride however and the Bills won't be able to pull off the upset.
Cards @ 49ers
Ugh. I guess I'll pick the 49ers at home under their new (short-term) interim coach.
Rams @ Seahawks
While the Hawks are at an advantage this week at home in Qwest Field with the 12th man, they are playing the Rams. The Rams have more talent, more discipline and want desperately to hang on to the lead in the NFC West.
Not Craptastic but not Fantastic:
Dolphins @ Pats
While the Fish have been better on the road, they are so sporadic that I don't believe they can win at Foxboro. That, and every frickin' time I pick them they lose. Pats win.
Bucs @ Saints
The Bucs are playing hard and will be contenders in the next couple of years to come. Until then, the Saints are dead set on defending why they they were Super Bowl Champs last year.
Vikings @ Lions
I've lost track of who's playing QB for the Vikings this week, but the Lions will win at home anyway.
Raiders @ Chiefs
The Chiefs have won the division, but they also don't want to be embarrassed at home buy the Raiders. Chiefs win.
Bengals @ Ravens
The Bengals have fallen from last season's status, and this game won't be any different. The Ravens will win at home.
Steelers @ Browns
We'll see if Mangenius checks his bag of tricks for today's game, or if he rolls over and lets Holmgren fire him. Either way, the Steelers are playing for the bye week and the division win.
Jags @ Texans
The Jags won't have Garrard for QB today, and the Texans will pull out a surprising win so that Kubiak can stay on for another mediocre season.
Cowboys @ Eagles
This was going to be a fantastic game until Kitna and Vick became probable to not play. I'll take Kolb over McGhee.
Giants @ Redsk!ns
The G-men have had their struggles, but the Sk!ns have also had more struggles and more drama. Look for the G-men to win on the road.
Chargers @ Broncos
Tebow is a winner, he has a winning attitude, he's been working hard to prove all those naysayers wrong, and God probably listens more closely to him than most other people. At the end of the day, I think Tebow can rally a broken Broncos team over the Chargers.
Titans @ Colts
The Titans haven't been consistent enough to make this game that interesting. The Colts will win at home.
The only Fantastic Competition of the week:
Bears @ Packers
The Pack should have won the first matchup earlier in the season except for all their frickin' penalties. The Pack will be looking to redeem itself and to secure its playoff spot.
