NFL Conference Championships: NFC

Here we take a moment to step aside and analyze the NFC Championship Game.

The Green Bay Packers and The Chicago Bears (Da Bears)

Green Bay comes in hot, riding the right arm of Aaron Rodgers.  You can't do much better as a quarterback than Rodgers did against the Falcons on Saturday.  Take a look at this stat line:

31/36 passing, 366 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT

Leading the Packers to a 48-21 rout of the Atlanta Falcons.

Da Bears, will make for an interesting divisional matchup in the NFC title game.  Coming off a narrow 7 point win over the lowly Seahawks.  Who in my opinion should not have been in the playoffs to begin with.  7-9 are you kidding me?  Sure they won their division but there were better teams in the NFC than the Seattle Seahawks.  The NFL needs to revise their playoff setup in the coming years.

That doesn't matter anymore because they lost, so back to Da Bears.

The Bears defense will be critical in this game.  Stopping Aaron Rodgers will be key, if they can't do that...then forget it, the Packers are headed to Indy.

Look for a close game, that will ultimately end up in a win for the Packers.

Final Score: 27-17

"Take it to the bank."

  1. bank on a chicago win... they have a great defense, home field advantage, and most of all devin hester. He'll returen at least one kick for a touchdown on sunday and will have one of the biggest games of his life. And the bears will show how aaron rodgers is overrated

  2. Not so fast my friend...for the record Devin Hester has not returned a "kick" for a touchdown since 2007. He has returned 3 punts this season for touchdowns. But I'm curious as to what makes you think he break one this weekend? The Bears have one of the best defenses in the league, don't get me wrong, but the Packers only allowed 3 points against the Bears in their last meeting.

  5. Fair enough, I like the Packers, and you like Da Bears in this one. Only time will tell.

    In the mean time GO PACKERS!
