Right, so looking back at last week, I didn't do all that badly with my predictions. I called three out of the four of the games correctly, including the Giants' upset of the Cowboys, so I'm pretty satisfied. Now, for the Conference Championship games.
Green Bay over New York
Lambeau Field in January is not the easiest place to play under the best of circumstances, and despite another efficient performance in a road win against the Cowboys, Eli Manning will have trouble without an effective running game. Favre, running back Ryan Grant, and the Packers' defense will pull off the win, but Eli will fight to the end. Favre goes back to the Super Bowl.
New England over San Diego
I sincerely hope I am wrong about this one, but I cannot see there being an Upset Special in this game. The Chargers would have a rough time beating the Patriots if they were completely healthy; with LaDainian Tomlinson, Phillip Rivers, and Antonio Gates all either out or playing hurt, they don't have a chance. New England wins big to move on to the Super Bowl. (Editor's note: boo.)
