Greg's Conference Championship Picks!

 Here we go. Four teams remain and there are some interesting elements. Here are my two conference championship picks.

Chiefs @ Ravens: I know Patrick Mahomes is the best QB in the NFL right now. But to me, the Ravens are the most complete of the 4 teams remaining. I think this is the Ravens' moment. Their defense is hard to crack, and with the Chiefs lack of elite weapons outside of Travis Kelce, the Ravens will be tough to move against. I will take the Ravens in the AFC.

Victory: Ravens

Lions @ 49ers: I love the Lions in this spot for 3 essential reasons:

1. Deebo Samuel has been limited all week in practice. He will play for sure, but his effectiveness might be dampened. And the Niners are a much different offense without an effective Samuel.

2. Jared Goff has been there and done that in the postseason. He went to a Super Bowl with the Rams. Meanwhile, Brock Purdy got hurt last year at this same level. And he has been on a downward slope towards the end of the year.

3. The Lions' defense might be somewhat maligned, but one area they have been effective this year has been against the run. They were 3rd in the NFL in yards per carry against. So Christian McCaffrey is going to have a problem against that defense. putting even more pressure on Purdy.

I think the Lions go into San Fran. and pull off the upset.

Victory: Lions

Greg's NFL Wild Card Picks!

 I haven't totaled up the season tally yet. I might do that next week, because I'm tired today. But I will give you my playoff picks. Remember, we don't do point spreads in the playoffs, because regardless of point difference, winning is the name of the game. It's win or die. So let's ride.

Browns @ Texans: I like the Browns here. They have the experience. And they also have their top defense ready to go and try and stymie C.J. Stroud. I think the Flacco train continues for another week.

Victory: Browns

Dolphins @ Chiefs:  I don't think this is going to be a disaster like most people think. But at the end of the day, the Dolphins have struggled with winning teams and you throw in the weather conditions to a precise offense like Miami has and I think they will eventually succumb to it.

Victory: Chiefs

Steelers @ Bills: I think the weather affects this game too, but the matchup seems too far apart. Steelers will keep it close for a while, but the Bills pull away.

Victory: Bills

Packers @ Cowboys: Would love to see Dallas lose and Jerry go nuts, but I just can't see it.

Victory: Cowboys

Rams @ Lions: I see this kind of like Browns/Texans, EXCEPT Jared Goff has had experience in these playoff games. I think he will make the difference at home.

Victory: Lions

Eagles @ Buccaneers: I'm going to take the Bucs. The Eagles have to show me and alot of people what they can do. Because they are broken right now. So show me, Philly.

Victory: Buccaneers
