Okay its conference championship day in the NFL, and we have two games that were very unlikely when the brackets were released three weeks ago.  The Eagles v the Cardinals and the Steelers v the Ravens.  Well I know one thing...there is a 75% chance that there will be an all bird Super Bowl.

This week I am going to break down both games for you in detail.  The Eagles and Cardinals are both on such an emotional high that something has to give.  When looking at these two teams, there is something that stands out to me about the Eagles...they have played defense ALL year, and it is the main reson why they are in this game.  With that being said, I see the Cardinals defense coming back down to Earth and the reality of the situation will be evident at halftime.  Kurt Warner does not fair well under pressuer, and he is going to face a defensive coordinator in Jim Johnson that didn't sleep for a week coming up with new blitz packages to rattle Warner.  The Cardinals and their fans are soooo excited about the return of Anquan Boldin for this game...thats great and they should be...but lets think back to Thanksgiving Day when the Cardinals were at full strength and beaten like a drum by the Eagles...different day same result!  Take the Eagles and the Over!

The Steelers and Ravens game will be very diffferent compared to the NFC Championship game.  The temperature at game time for instance is going to be a balmy 0 degrees.  This is going to be a very intense, and hard hitting game.  The biggest story line in this game is going to circle around two things.  First can the Steelers really beat the Ravens for a third time this season.  It is one of the most difficult thing in sports to do...beat a team over and over and over, especially when its a rivalry, and divisional foe.  The second stroy behind this game is going to be whether or not the Ravens will be able to even put up a fight because of all the injuries they have!  The Steelers are at home and I believe that is the biggest advantage in this game.  I plan to see plenty of hits that will allow for the unlucky to bestow upon us snot bubbles, but in the end...I just don't see the Ravens having enough in the tank to finish off an improbable run...different day same result!  Take the Steelers and the Under!
