Championship Weekend Picks

Which of Deion's old teams will be victorious on Sunday?
Straight to the picks heading into Championship Weekend:

Playoffs: 2-6 against the spread, 6-2 overall

In order of confidence:

NFC Championship: FALCONS +4 over Niners (Falcons to win outright).

Falcons haven't lost a meaningful game by more than 4 all year.  They're playing at home, in the dome, against a QB who, though he was wildly successful last week, has only 8 career starts to his name.  Take the points at home, and, despite our Super Bowl pick, we think Atlanta ekes this one out at home.

AFC Championship: Ravens +8 over PATRIOTS (Patriots to win outright).

No reason to think this isn't a close one given the teams' recent history, but New England gets the edge at home.  Should be the second of two excellent games this Sunday.
