NFL Championship Weekend!

As you probably noticed, most of the supposed football pundits really put their balls out on the line last weekend and picked all four of the favorites. I'd laugh in their face after picking two upsets, yet here we are with most everybody—including myself—having gone 2-2 last weekend.

So, that puts me at 5-3 so far in this year's NFL playoffs and the fuck if I'm not going to pick another upset this week. While I'm certain the league would like nothing better than the idea of Brett Favre's resurgent Green Bay team trying to knock off a history-challenging New England squad, I've just got a feeling that these Giants (which have won nine consecutive road games—and NFL record, I do believe ...) are not going to be intimidated by snowflakes or Lambeau Field.

That said, my picks this week are:

#1 New England Patriots over #3 San Diego Chargers

#5 New York Giants over #2 Green Bay Packers

And that's my last upset pick of the season, seeing as the Patriots—regardless of which NFC team they're matched up against—will almost certainly be 10-point favorites. And rightfully so.

Let's all hope the 1972 Miami Dolphins have front row seats for the game so we can watch them collectively shove the barrels of shotguns in their mouths when they realize they weren't so special after all ...
