Fadingpain Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) My gut tells me NE will win easily. The Phoenix/Carolina game should be good but I'll say Carolina wins. They came out against Seattle and looked unbeatable right from the beginning. The QB play in the NFC Championship game goes in Carolina's favor.

TheFunPolice Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Peyton is 3-1 in AFC Title games, 2-1 in AFC Title Games vs NE* #can'twinthebiggames Honestly, I think he played decent yesterday. He had like 220 YDS, no turnovers, and about 100 drops. He had to be a bit rusty from basically not playing for a couple of months as well. Hopefully the Denver WR got all the dropsies out of their systems and Manning can continue being careful with the ball. If all that happens, with that Denver D at home and healthy, I give them a 40% shot at winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
