We only have three games left before the season draws to a close but for the next two I am not sure we could have gotten two better rivalry games. Going into this weekend Matt is leading us in postseason picks with a 5-3 record, Josh is next with 4-4 and I am pulling up the end with 3-4.
For the early game Sunday we have the #2 Patriots going to the #1 Broncos. Of course the main head line here is the Manning vs Brady match up, we have two of the best quarterbacks to ever play fighting for another chance at the Super Bowl. When they meet earlier this year the Broncos had a 24-0 going in to half time but the game went to overtime and almost ended in a tie, but the Patriots came out on top at the end. That was a very cold game and this one is likely to be a much higher scoring affair. Matt is taking the Broncos to take the win in this one while Josh and I are taking the Patriots.
In the latter game we have the #5 49ers traveling to their division rival #1 Seahawks. These two teams have met twice this year, each time the home team came away with the win. This one is going to be a very hard hitting game. The two teams are build very similarly; power defenses, mobile quarterbacks, and a run first offense. Even the coaches supposedly hate each other. While the 49ers are making their 3rd strait NFC Championship appearance, I am still going with the home team and taking the Seahawks. Matt and Josh are both taking the 49ers to win this one.
