2011 NFL SEASON CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY
It is finally here.
Conference Championship Sunday
I think this is one of the best Sundays
of football next to opening Sunday and the Super Bowl.
This is it.
This is the last game where
homefield advantage matters. For the 49ers and Patriots this is their final
home game of the season.
Are their fans going to go home
happy, or will they have to wait until the season starts in 2012? For the Ravens
and Giants, this could be their next to the last road trip they take before
heading to Indianapolis…
So… what seems to be the story
that we are going to look back on for the 2011 NFL Season?
KICKOFF TIMES ARE CENTRAL TIME
Baltimore Ravens at New England
Patriots, 2 PM CBS
New York Giants at San Francisco
49ers, 5:30 PM Fox

2011 NFL SEASON DIVISIONAL ROUND
This first round, while not memorable, had some exciting moments to them.
Not so much for my picks. 1-3 in
the first round. Ms. Roberts, on the momentum of the Texans first playoff win
in team history, successfully went 3-1. She would have been 4-0 IF it wasn’t
for Tebow Time in the shortest OT finish in regular season and the playoffs in
NFL history.
If Houston wins this coming
Sunday, they will match the number of playoff wins the Cowboys have had since
their last championship…. (sigh)…
That’s the problem with the
playoffs. You look at every possible angle and you try to find that ONE team
that could make that deep run. I figured the Falcons were due for a playoff
win, but for them to put up THAT performance…? Their only score came on Eli
Manning intentionally grounding a pass in the end zone that resulted in two
points. Atlanta was 0-3 on fourth down conversion plays; two of them were short
yardage situations. If you can’t convert those…. You don’t deserve to advance!
Now, here is the REAL challenge:
which of the teams that won the first week have the ability to move on to the
Conference Championship Game Round? I will tell you… but you have to read on.
All the home teams held their own
so both the AFC and NFC playoffs feature 1-versus-4 and 2-versus-3 matchups in
the divisional round.
Again, my Baltimore-Green Bay Super Bowl
prediction at the
start of the season is holding because both those teams had the week off. Is
this the week where that prediction is busted…?

2011 NFL SEASON: WEEK 17
Happy 2012!
Since the 2006 season, the NFL instituted the
policy of Fox and CBS to both air doubleheaders in Week 17 to maximize coverage
of playoff clinching scenarios. There is one snafu with it… The NFL’s
television rules. If you live in an area where the local team is at home, the
NFL cannot air another game at the same time the home team is playing.
For example, in Houston, the Texans are at home so that means that there will be no Fox early game aired within 75 miles of the Houston area. Meanwhile, in Dallas, there will be doubleheaders on Fox and CBS because the Cowboys are playing on Sunday Night. And even if the Cowboys and Giants were playing a day game, there still would be another game aired at the same time.

Got it…? Good!

2011 NFL SEASON: WEEK 16
First, I'd like to take the time to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season and a joyous 2012.
The perfect season has come to an end.
The Packers lost to the Chiefs last Sunday. While we are talking about records,
the Colts finally won a game this season. Both teams are aiming to be #1: the
Packers are looking to be the number one seed in the NFC Playoffs while the
Colts have a one-game lead on claiming the number one pick in the 2012 Draft.
While we are talking about the 2012 NFL Draft,
the Colts can clinch the first pick in the NFL Draft with a loss tonight.
The bulk of games are on Saturday due to the
NFL’s policy of not scheduling the majority of games on Christmas if it falls
on a Sunday so plan accordingly.
Now the picks…
