NFL Conference Championship Staff Predictions
January 22, 2017
While the Super Bowl might be the most important game in the entirety of the NFL season, the second most important game is never talked about. The stakes are extremely high when you get into the Super Bowl, but if you don’t even get into the big game, then your team will be forgotten in history. Even if your team is the best in the league in every category, if you don’t make it into the Super Bowl, the history books might barely mention your squad. Today’s AFC and NFC Championship games will determine which teams will be able to find eternal glory in the long, 97 year history of the NFL. The following is a list of which teams our staff thinks will make it into the 2016-2017 finale. See how well your picks stack up against ours in the last week of actual NFL play before the Super Bowl!
