2006 NFL Conference Championship Picks

OK folks, here it is. Conference Championship Sunday. In so many ways it’s better than the actual Super Bowl. We all were wrong about the Colts last week. Will they get any respect against the Pats? And will the Bears defend their home turf? Chicago fans say that some fire in 1871 make them the sentimental favorites….

No podcast this week but check out the AFC and NFC Championship picks below.

And the Saints Come Marching Home

Let me tell you a little something about myself that you hopefully already know from my previous articles: I’m a sports fanatic, but I’m mainly a baseball guy. I know my fair share about other sports and watch more than my share of them.

This is just a warning, because I’ve never tried to put my predictions into writing about any sport other than baseball. But, with the NFL playoffs being so intriguing this year, I decided to try my hand at predicting the winners, losers and award-winners.

So here it goes, JDWC’s first attempt at picking who will stay, who will go, and who will bathe in champagne in Miami. Read at your own risk.

Bold Predictions By A Bold Man

Bold is a funny word.

Just who is this guy to tell me who to pick?

I, like many of you, probably participate in Yahoo! Sports’ Fantasy Football Pro Pickem’

To my dismay, up until this point I’ve only picked 120 correctly, whilst the top fan from San Diego taunts me with his 129.

In any case, I’m about to change it all around this week, by picking upsets that only those who dare to dream dare pick.  And on that note, here are my Week 14 Picks to Ponder:
