The Man from Mars posted this link on the forums at work and it's straight up hilarious! I think I'm going to have to start watching Conan again...

The Superbowl
It's that time of year when everyone in North America huddles around their big screen TV (except me who huddles around my little screen TV) to watch the big football game while the rest of the world doesn't even know what the Superbowl is. And if they do, they still have no idea what the significance of a large plate is in a game called football when it's not even primarily played with the feet.
That's what I used to think some 10 years ago too but I'm quite a fan of the game now, although not so much of today's game. I really wanted to see the Patriots and/or the Saints in there but it wasn't meant to be.
Indianapolis vs. Chicago - They say defense wins championships. Comparing the Bears defense to the Colts offense, the Bears are more than capable of shutting down the Peyton Manning show. The Colts defense on the other had aren't guaranteed to stop Rex Grossman (despite him not being that special of a QB). Logic tells me the Bears should win however the Colts have looked better and better as they've advanced through the playoffs, which is almost reminiscent of the great Steelers team of last year. The bottom line is it's going to be a defensive snore but since I need to pick a team, advantage - Indianapolis Colts.

NFL Conference Championship Playoff Games
The weekend is upon us and that means at least 6 more hours spent glued to the TV. This weekend they fight it out for the NFC and AFC championships. Here are my picks:
New Orleans at Chicago - Didn't I already mention that Drew Brees is the best QB in the league and Rex Grossman isn't that special?? If Seattle can trouble Chicago (see last week's results) then the Saints definitely can take the win: New Orleans Saints
New England at Indianapolis - I still wasn't impressed with the Colts last weekend and I think the stat line on Peyton Manning in the playoffs this year is something like 1 TD pass and 4 or 5 turnovers. That's awful! New England on the other hand continues to impress me. Sure they got a couple of lucky breaks against the Chargers last weekend but they made the most of their opportunities: New England Patriots

NFL Divisional Playoff Games
With both the Rambling Geek and Kimota94 posting playoff predictions for the weekend, I thought I would throw mine in the mix too.
I didn't publish my predictions from last weekend but if you're willing to take my word for it, I'm 3-1 (my picks were Colts, Seahawks, Pats, Giants).
Moving on to this weekend:
Indianapolis at Baltimore - This one's the toughest one to pick for me. I don't think too highly of either team right now so I'm just going to pick the team I want to win: Indianapolis Colts
Philadelphia at New Orleans - This one's a no brainer. Drew Brees has been the best QB this season and will demolish the Eagles: New Orleans Saints
Seattle at Chicago - Another no brainer. I believed the Seahawks would get their act together the second half of the season but they didn't. I don't think Rex Grossman is all that special but he'll have no trouble overcoming Seattle: Chicago Bears
New England at San Diego - This is the best match-up of the weekend but it's an easy one to pick for me. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots have proven themselves over and over again in the playoffs. Phillip Rivers is good but having to face the Patriots in his first trip to the playoffs is asking a bit much: New England Patriots
