Here are my predictions for the Championship Round of the 2017 NFL playoffs.
Sunday, January 22nd
Green Bay Packers vs Atlanta Falcons- 3:05, FOX: Green Bay is coming off an excellent Divisional Round road win in Arlington over the Cowboys thanks to a long Mason Crosby field goal as time expired. Atlanta is coming off a great Divisional Round home win over the Seattle Seahawks. This will be the final game played at the Georgia Dome and the fans will enjoy an entertaining, high scoring game, but will be disappointed with the result. No one is playing hotter and better than Aaron Rodgers and he'll lead his team to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2010 season.
Prediction: Green Bay 34, Atlanta 31.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs New England Patriots- 6:40, CBS: Pittsburgh is coming off a very good Divisional Round primetime road win over the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. New England is coming off a Divisional Round primetime win over the Houston Texans. The Patriots did not look great beating a Texans team that's quarterback is not good and they turned the ball over a few times too. The Steelers did not score a touchdown last week, either. This was not an easy call, but something tells me Big Ben and that offense will put up some touchdowns unlike last week and will steal a win in Foxboro to go to the Super Bowl to set up a Super Bowl XLV rematch.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 23, New England 20.
