NFL: AFC & NFC winner for the Superbowl

Conference Championship

Two games in the NFL Conference Championship playoff to decide who will meet in this year’s Superbowl showdown in Florida. It has been an exciting with the favorites going through and also a Cinderella story plot for others. With four teams left to battle it out, who is your favorite to go into the last two?

Indianapolis Colts vs. New York Jets

The Colts blew away the Baltimore Ravens 20-3 last weekend in the Divisional Playoffs to get into this weekend showdown with the New York Jets. Guess who played a big part in getting the Colts here? Yeah, Four times NFL MVP award, Peyton Manning, his two touchdown throw in the 2nd Quarter pretty much wrapped up the game and he will be hoping to come up with the goods again this Sunday. The Colts have some solid wide receivers that can do the job but not game changers so as long as the defense to their job, Manning will have all the time in the world to get his game going.

The Jets are certainly in 7th heaven after they dispose the San Diego Chargers 17-14 last weekend. It is surprising to see the Jets there but if you watched how they played on the day, then they have definitely earned their spot to be here to challenge for the AFC title. They are a young team with no fear and any teams coming up against the Jets will feel their defense impact. The Jet have an effective way of playing as they will pounce on any interception opportunities and turnovers when defending. Their offense line is the key to their winning formula, both rookies running back Shonn Greene and quarterback Mark Sanchez, will deploy the running tactics to keep the mistakes to a minimum to win the game. Things are really looking good for the Jets, they are really playing with a strong mentality on the road and pressure is surely not on their side.

The Indianapolis Colts are favorites to make it to the Superbowl which they last appeared in 2007. One obstacle still lies ahead and that is the fearless New York Jets team. The Jets have embarked on an unique journey where not many people believe they would have come this far and that’s because of the two rookies, D’Brickashaw Ferguson and Damien Woody. Their play is the simple game and no wonder they are getting things right. However, if the simple play gets shut down by the Colts defense, then it is hard to see how M. Sanchez can throw as good as MVP QB Manning, as he can certainly find something up his sleeves when called upon. This is the first time the Jets will play for the AFC title since 1999, what a game it will be.

New Orleans Saints vs. Minnesota Vikings

One of the most anticipated match up this season as two of the best teams in the NFC will go up for the title of being champions of the NFC conference. These two teams are well balanced and well solid in the offense and defense. It can’t get any better than this, can it? Yes it can, this is also a matchup between Quarterbacks Drew Brees and Brett Favre. It certainly looks like whoever brings their A game on the field on Sunday will be the one walking off the pitch victorious. Both teams are all about their quarterback so it will be all down to who will throw better on the day.

The New Orleans Saints brushed away the Arizona Cardinals 45-14 last weekend and showed people they are a good running team and also throwing team. They have it all when it comes to their offensive play but what about their defense duties. Now there is an issue because they are playing the Minnesota Vikings not the Cardinals, I say this because the Saints might be able to defend against a team who can deploy different variation of play with a good success rate. There is a case where it would be safe if the Saints always have the ball rather than giving it to the Vikings and let them to their stuff. The ultimate weapon will be QB Drew Brees but watch out for offensive lineman, guards Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks.

The Vikings are a strong solid team throughout the ranks. They demonstrated their power when they taught the Dallas Cowboys how to play football by winning 34-3. They are on a hot streak of consecutive wins and they will go to New Orleans with high confidence. While all eyes are on Brett Favre, he will have lots of options to see him throwing a winner on Sunday. Our Sportsbook Online Helps you in winning Online BettingWide receiver, Sidney Rice and running back Chester Taylor are others team member that the Vikings can count on to win games so it will be hard for the Saints to contain the Vikings. If things go smoothly for the Vikings then it will be a very tight affair where Brett Farve will win through more variations and options in Viking’s play. If not, he will be sacked for sure as the Saints know that is the only way to stop the Vikings.
