NFL Championship Game Picks by THE PICKMEISTER

Current Playoff Record
: 3-5

New Orleans +3 over CHICAGO

Sure the Bears have put together an amazing season only losing 3 games all year, but you have to give the majority of the credit to their defense. Let’s face it this Chicago team has a liability at the quarterback position. Grossman isn’t going to win any games for his team, a problem that’s bound to bite the Bears in the ass. New Orleans on the other hand has so many great weapons, and Drew Brees has emerged as one of the best QBs in the league. If the Saints defense can not give up any more huge plays, they should take this game with ease. Take the Saints getting 3 points.


INDIANAPOLIS -3 over New England

This playoff match has become quite familiar over the past few years, with New England always finding a way to come out on top. Look for this year to finally be different. Indianapolis is a much better team than New England, who besides Tom Brady lacks any real game breakers. To add to that, Indy will be playing at home where they haven’t lost a game all season. Don’t expect Payton to play the way he has the last two weeks and take Indianapolis to cover the 3 point spread.

Current Playoff Record: 7-1

New Orleans +3 over CHICAGO

This game may be in Chicago and the weather may not be great, but the Saints are a better team. They have better players, are better coached and play harder than the Bears. On top of all that, the Saints have Drew Brees and the Bears have Rex Grossman. The Bears defense is not the same without Mike Brown and Tommy Harris and will have a hard time stopping New Orleans. The Saints are your NFC Champions.

INDIANAPOLIS -3 over New England

The Colts have no choice, but to win this game. This is their chance. The Patriots didn’t even belong on the same field as the Chargers last week, but they still ended up winning the game. That was a gift. Peyton Manning won’t let that happen this week. The Colts are a better team. They beat New England the last two times they have played. The Colts have no business not winning this game.
