Patriots vs Broncos.
Rams vs Seahawks.
Just the way everyone predicted the Conference Championship games would be before the season started.
Two great games on Sunday and while the Midwest digs out and the Northeast gets buried by that snowstorm, what a perfect day to watch football (hopefully everyone has power/doesn't lose power on Sunday!).
Much like NFL teams, I've stepped up my game in the playoffs and cashed in some sweet parlays last week. Looking forward to doing the same again this week. I like the Patriots on the road against Jarrett Stidham and the Seahawks and the 12s holding off the Rams at beautiful Lumen Field (where I wish I was sitting in Sluggers for this game in my traditional booth there when I visit sitting under the Shawn Kemp #40 SuperSonics Jersey).
Each week during the season, I made my picks for every NFL game with my buddy David on his SportsKrunch with DKrom podcast as we’ve done regularly for the past five years (and many appearances pre-pandemic as well).
Check out this week’s episode as we recapped the Divisional Playoff round, handed out our weekly awards, checked in on the head coaches and assistants hired and fired, and of course all the game predictions and prognostications with our bold predictions for the AFC and NFC Championship games--it is available here.
Please give a listen each week on your preferred podcast provider. All back episodes are available here at Apple podcasts.
