The teams that still remain are the Arizona Cardinals, the Carolina Panthers, the New England Patriots, and the Denver Broncos. I will be telling you who will win each game of the Conference Championship round.
Denver Broncos vs New England Patriots
We all know this is going to be another exciting Brady vs Manning match up. But let's not forget that the Broncos have one of the best defenses in the league. With that Broncos D-line and secondary, it's going to be interesting to see how successful Tom Brady and the Patriots offense is going to be. I have a feeling that the Pats are going to settle on the passing game early after finding that they aren't getting any success running the ball and the Broncos secondary is going to make things hard for Brady.
Then there is also the improbability of the Denver offense. They struggled against the Steelers defense until late in the divisional round game and I believe Peyton Manning will struggle against the Pats defense.
For this game I am picking the Patriots to win. As long as their defense can come through, I think the Patriots are going to the Super Bowl again. I am guessing a score of 23-17 in the Patriots favor.
Carolina Panthers vs Arizona Cardinals
After the Carolina Panthers beat the almost unbeatable Seattle Seahawks [in the playoffs], some people probably aren't expecting anything from the Arizona Cardinals but don't go that far yet. The Cardinals arguably could have a better defense than the Panthers and Cam Newton could struggle against that defense. Also, don't forget about Arizona's offense. They are very dangerous with a group of three great receivers. Michael Floyd, Larry Fitzgerald, and the speedy John Brown.
And then there is that dangerous Carolina offense with Cam Newton leading the charge. He will be tough for Arizona to defend.
I am also wondering who Patrick Peterson will cover. It could be either Greg Olsen or Ted Ginn Jr..
For this game, I'm picking the Panthers. The score will be 24-21.
