NFL Championship Games and other weird blogging thoughts.

Hey all.

I was chatting with a co-worker today and asked him - what should I write about in my blog tonight? Of course he, being a he, said write about the AFC and NFC championships and make a prediction. I smiled and raised an eyebrow.

I have to admit, I had to look up who the teams were this year. After all, the Patriots didn't make it - therefore my interest dropped to almost nil - just a backdrop to my busy writing life - the dull drone of the announcers, the frantic cheers from the crowd, yeah - I don't think I even looked up after seeing the first half of the Dallas game at my folks. Even so, I like a good match and am hoping the games this weekend aren't runaway wins like most of the games last weekend. It's been a while since we had a nail-biter for Super Bowl.

I looked at the team records and made my picks based on their seasons and players on the injury lists and all that jazz.

AFC - Jets versus Colts. My pick for this match is the Colts. They have a better record overall - but I'm thinking this game might be a close one.

NFC - Vikings versus Saints - I'm betting on Brett to bring the Viking victory home.

And my picks are the polar opposites of my friend’s picks, so we’ll see who’s grinning on Monday morning.

I know this doesn’t have a hoot to do with the writing world, but I do enjoy watching a good football match.

So weigh in - who’s going to the Super Bowl?

Coach - great comments. I know New Orleans has home field advantage - but my loyalty on this one is in Farve's court. It's his year. But you're right that game is going to be an intense game, maybe even better than the Superbowl itself.

Thanks for commenting! Have a wonderful weekend.
