Fearless Football Predictions: Championship Game Edition

Mike Vanderggrrrhhh ruined my Super Bowl prediction but alas a new day, a new prediction. Here's what I'm thinking with a trip to Detroit on the line:

Carolina over Seattle: Unless you're Eminem, or Kid Rock there's absolutely no reason to go to Detroit in January. The four remaining teams can think of one big reason though and that's a trip to the Super Bowl. The Panthers will get there by taking advantage of Shaun Alexander's concussion and making Matt Hasselbeck beat them. Expect a playoff inexperienced Seahawks team to fold like the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS. Panthers by at least 10.

Steelers over the Broncos: Last week's game was so good that a Pittsburgh man actually suffered a heart attack after Jerome Bettis fumbled on the 1 yard line. This week's game won't be for the feint of heart either with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Expect both teams to run, run, run. The Steelers have Big Ben though and that could be the difference against Jake the Snake. If either qb's nickname just made you think of a penis you have a sick mind. If not, I have a sick mind. Either way, Steelers will be starting up the bus to Detroit by riding the Bus in short yardage situations. No word yet on whether or not to expect a smile from Bill Cowher afterwards.
