Running 2006-07 NFL Conference Championship thread

Colts-Pats will get all the hype, but Saints-Bears should be the better game.

 

You are so cute.

 

I thought it was interesting that the two road teams won in the AFC, while the two home teams held court in the NFC. Just throwing that out there.

 

My picks

The Colts [/fangirl]

The Saints

 

Dead. To. Me.

 

If it is a Saints-Patriots Super Bowl, it will be the fourth Super Bowl, where both conference/league championship games were won by both road teams.

 

Bears and Colts are three point favorites. http://www.betus.com/sportsbook/default.aspx

 

Saints and Colts (Pleeeeeeeeeeeeze, Colts!)

 

Patriots 35, Colts 33
Bears 16, Saints 6

I chose the 16-6 score because of the last time the teams played in the playoffs (was it '90?). Anyway, I'd found a bookie and took the Bears minus-8. For a long time the score was 9-6 and I was very pissed because I put down more than a few bills. My memory is hazy here, but I believe the Bears blocked a field goal attempt and ran it back for a late TD, so they covered. I was very happy.

 

Why are we even bothering? Just hand the trophy to the damn Patriots now and put us all out of our misery....

 

Don't worry, OOP. the NFL already is working out its plan to be sure that happens.

 

Colts over Pats, 31-28

Saints over Bears, 17-13
