NFC CHAMPIONSHIP

The rivals reunite this weekend in Seatlle as the San Francisco 49ers come to town to battle the Seahawks. These NFC West teams split their regualr season series, and the amnimousity has only built throughout the year between these two.

Colin Kaepernick has thrust into the elite Quarterback bracket with his post-season play thus far. His gallops down-field on key 3rd downs only frustrated the Carolina Defense in the Divisional round as their emotions distracted them from the real objective at hand : "winning the game." Jim Harbaugh has been dealing with the strife of coming just one play short of the Limbardi trophy last February.

But really who has it better than the Seattle Seahawks at home? Absolutely no one. Marshawn "Beast Mode" Lynch will run the ball from South Beach Miami, all the way to the state of Washington, into the city of Seattle and across the plain of the oppositions End Zone of Century Link field anyday. All he needs is one lead blocker. The stingy Seahawks Defense allows for no shoot-out and in the Red-Zone they put the lock on the door.

Will Russell Wilsons cool render to be a disguised oblivion? Maybe if the goal of Head Coach Pete Caroll and offensive Coordinator Darell Bevell were to run and gun there'd be more eye-popping statistics on Wilsons' resume this season. But unlike the Carolina Panthers the Seahawks are playing to win not for the theatrics.

Should be a close one.

Kickoff @ 6:30pm 1/19/14

SEAHAWKS VS. 49ERS (SEAHAWKS 23-14)

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP

This Sunday, the NFL crowns its AFC Conference champion as the the Denver Broncos face off against the New England Patriots.

Brady vs. Manning. The rival between the two superstar Quarterbacks has been long dominated by the Belichick & Brady collaborative. Critics highlight Peyton Mannings' under impressive post-season statistics and records claiming that he fails to rise to the occasion when the pressure is on. Joe Flacco's 70 yard toss in last years AFC Divisional Round broke the hearts of many and put Mannings' Playoff Record to 3-5 overall.

Contrarily, Peytons' role as Quarterback of the Denver Broncos has proved to be rather efficient in the 2013-14 NFL season. Striking numbers, a impeccable WR's core and plethora of HB's has made the AFC West franchise the highest scoring team in NFL history. The huge monkey attached to Peytons' back will need to be removed so that his legacy can amount up to its potential.

The Patriots come to town with pure intentions to spoil such hope. Their newly acquired HB LeGarrette Blount has been running the ball across the plain the entire ladder part of the season. This has allowed Tom Brady to rest his arm. First down after First down all by way of rush, hell there is no reason to throw the ball. Against the Colts in the Divisional round the Patriots tallied 43 points without a single pass TD, Incredible.

Somebody throws popcorn, I'm not sure who threw the popcorn, and, bang, he was shot."
