NFL Conference Championship Weekend

[Donoghus]

Only four teams remain, this weekend we find out who goes on to play in Miami two weeks from now in Super Bowl XLIV.



New York Jets v. Indianapolis Colts- Peyton Manning tries to lead the Colts back to the Super Bowl where they won in Miami 3 years ago.  The Jets are a team of momentum looking to return to the Super Bowl for the first time in over 40 years when Joe Namath made his guarantee.



Minnesota Vikings v. New Orleans Saints- Brett Favre & friends travel to the Big Easy to take on the high powered New Orleans offense and a raucous Superdome crowd.  Minnesota hasn't been to the Super Bowl since losing to the Raiders in Super Bowl XI while the Saints have never been to the Super Bowl in their history. 

Thoughts?  Predictions?  Analysis?

I like the Colts and Vikings to win and set up a hyperbole Super Bowl QB matchup.

[Donoghus]

I'll be rooting for, gulp, the Jets in the AFC.  I like the Saints in the NFC.  Saints are the only team remaining that I don't despise.

Realistically, I'm thinking we'll probably end up seeing Colts-Saints in the Super Bowl. 

(I really, really, really don't want to fathom the thought of two weeks of buildup to Favre v. Manning    )

Superbowl = Colts and Vikings with possibly two best quarterbacks ever in a Superbowl at the same time going against each other

Apologies to SB XIX(Marino-Montana) and SB XIII(Bradshaw-Staubach) and SBXXXII(Elway-Favre) but this will be the best QB matchup in SB history

Elway/Montana in Super Bowl XXIV was a pretty good matchup too.  Unfortunately, the game was not (55-10 SF).

I think the Saints and Colts will be the most entertaining Super Bowl match-up. Having said that, I'll be rooting for the Jets.

i want it to be the colts and saints, with the saints winning the super bowl

[Roy Hobbs]

Colts and Saints.

[Mike-Dub]

Please GOD make it so the Colts and Jets don't win the Superbowl!

[BASS_THUMPER]

my chargers gone...i dont care who wins...really good reason to drank beer and eat stuff up..and talk trash

[Eja117]

Seems like the Jets have started better, but they better make a move before Peyton figures things out at home

[Roy Hobbs]

Let's go Colts!

[Neurotic Guy]

I'm rooting for Jets and Saints today -- probably end up 1 for 2.    Jets had a nice opportunity early but came away empty.  Now if Colts score a touchdown (which it seems likely they will) the Jets will NEED to score.  Cannot let the Colts go up 2 scores early -- that will break the Jets.

[Eja117]

I find the idea of the Jets winning the Super Bowl a little less putrid than Manning

Also I think it's more likely the Jets will get a beat down from the Saints than the Colts.

[Redz]

Yowza, that was an easy 6 points!
