Pickin' & Grinnin' AFC/NFC Championships + Open Thread

Mates,

We are down to 3 meaningful games in the football season, 2 today and then the Super Bowl in 2 weeks.  About to go fire up cooking for brunch, but before I did that I wanted to post this for the football junkies amongst us.   NFC goes first at 3:05, followed by the AFC.  Both games have the home team favored by 6 pts.

@ Atlanta      6          Green Bay      on Fox

@NE              6           Pittsburgh       on CBS

I am a minority on this board in that I like Aaron Rogers and think he is at the top of his game. However, I think Green Bay is down to having some of the food vendors at Lambeau field play in the defensive backfield, so I'm not holding out much hope that the Pack wins, but let's not forget Jake Ryan, too.  That said, Matt Ryan, the Falcons QB, hasn't won much so maybe it's his turn.

As for the NE game, of course our very own Tom Terrific is our house favorite.  I do think Pittsburgh will give them a great game, and that it's more of a 'pick 'em' scenario.

So, in the next-to-last weekend of football, who do you take, and why?

Enjoy the rest of our Sunday,
