AFC and NFC Championship Game Predictions

This Sunday, four NFL teams will meet in the AFC and NFC championships. However, only two from each conference will meet Houston for Super Bowl LI. The four playoff teams remaining, the Green Bay Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New England Patriots, and the Atlanta Falcons all feature MVP winning, or MVP-caliber quarterbacks: Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady, and Matt Ryan. However, Brady the same amount of super bowl rings(4) as Rodgers, Ryan, and Big Ben COMBINED, with two other appearances in the big game.

These games should be high scoring and tight, as all these teams do not have excellent defenses against both the passing game and the running game. There are four Super Bowl matchup possibilities in play before the final results: Patriots-Packers, Packers-Steelers, Patriots- Falcons, and Steelers-Falcons. Two of these will be rematches of prior Super Bowl matchups, the most recent example being Green Bay defeating Pittsburgh 31 to 25.

We will also see Atlanta playing its final home playoff game in the Georgia Dome. Will the host team come up big? Or will Aaron Rodgers do everything it takes to win on the road? Will Tom Brady win in Foxborough and go for championship ring number 5? Or will the 'Killer B's'(Big Ben Roethlisberger, running back Le'Veon Bell, and wide receiver Antonio Brown) stun the New England fan base?

My prediction for both these games are- NFC Championship: Packers 35, Falcons 31; AFC championship game, Steelers 30, Patriots 27.
