I expect an NFC championship classic which will come down to the final seconds. It will be a hard fought game for both teams, but I can see Green Bay taking this. Aaron Rodgers is a beast for being able to play on an injured calf and still being able to lead his team to this point. Seattle is just as hungry, but I expect that the pressure of having to repeat as champs, and having to deliver in front of the 12th man, will finally catch up to them.

 

 

I predict that regardless of the outcome, the NFC champion will still end up losing the Superbowl.

---

I can't be so optimistic about this game. Aaron Rodgers struggled during the first half against the Cowboys and was playing at home. All day he exclusively threw out of the shotgun or pistol because of his leg injury. That will not work as well in Seattle. But I am keeping my hopes up that the Packers will not get blown out like the last time they were in Seattle because someone wrote a big problem in Week 1 was Bryan Bulaga's backup.

 

I always wait until the conference championship games are over to make a Super Bowl prediction. Which conference I think will win the Super Bowl depends on who the participants are.

Championship Sunday has finally arrived! The first game is at 3:00  ET on FOX in Seattle, Washington. The 12-4 Green Bay Packers visit the 12-4 Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field in a battle of #1 vs. #2 in the National Football Conference. The last time these teams met was the season opener on September 4, 2014 in Seattle. The Seahawks won that game 36-16, which is why the game is not in Green Bay instead. Seattle is a one-touchdown favorite today. To get this far, the Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field 26-21 and the Seahawks beat the Carolina Panthers 31-17 at CenturyLink Field after a bye week for both teams. The winner of this game will get the George Halas Trophy for being the NFC champion and go to University of Pheonix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona for Super Bowl 49 on February 1, 2015.

Just because it isn't Sunday yet for you doesnt mean it isn't game day for others.

This will be worse than the super bowl, Rodgers dosent finish the game

---

"Get Better Everyday"

This will be worse than the Super Bowl. Rodgers dosen't finish the game

 

Nonsense. He played three games with the injury so far and finished all of them. He did not aggravate it against the Cowboys or in practices.

 

Of course, I am worried about Rodgers being sacked or intercepted because of reduced mobility. But I am confident that we will not see Matt Flynn take any snaps.

This will be a good ole fashion " barn burner " as we say in the south. :devil:  :devil:  :yes:

What in the world is a barn burner in relation to football?

I don't think Green Bay has a chance. Dallas vs Seattle would've been a better matchup

GO PACKERS !!!!!

Hoping for a Seattle win.

Why are you rooting for the Seahawks?

 

Hopefully the weather holds up so y'all can see my squadron's helicopter do the fly over.

 

That should not be a problem. Kickers and quarterbacks have more to worry about when the wind picks up.

 GO PACKERS!

What kind of game are you all expecting?

 

Blowout

Defensive battle

Tale of two halves

 

I am hoping for a shootout.

Hawks win.

Hawks win.

 

By a little or a lot?

Here's to hoping this game is still watchable midway through the 3rd.
