2007 NFL Playoffs: Conference Championship Results and Super Bowl Prediction

And so the field of 4 becomes 2. Look at that, both teams I picked won this weekend, and...what's that? Both teams I picked lost? Son of a bitch!

Patriots 21, Chargers 12
Let this be a lesson to any team in the NFL: field goals don't win football games. Not when your opponents are scoring TDs, anyway.

Giants 23, Packers 20
Field goals win football games in OT, though. Especially when you pick off the opposing QB on your side of the field. The official "will he or won't he retire" conversations may begin....now.

2007 Playoff Prediction Record: 4-6

Super Bowl XLII: New England Patriots vs New York Giants
The undefeated versus the road warriors. The pretty boys versus the roughnecks. Brady versus Manning. While a smart man would pick the Patriots to finish only the second unbeaten season in NFL history, I make no claim to be a smart man. Peyton got his last year, so now it's Eli's turn.
Giants win.

Check back in two weeks for the Super Bowl result.
