With only four teams remaining in the quest for the Vince Lombardi Trophy, a
football fan couldn’t ask for better match-ups then what we have in store for
Sunday. The NFC features the two teams that were the most dominate and
consistent throughout the season. Even though both of the AFC’s top seeds were
eliminated last week, the cupboard definitely isn’t bare. All eyes will be
on Peyton and the Colts as they finally try to get through to the Super Bowl.
Of course they will have to get by their nemesis Tom Brady and his colossal 12-1
postseason record. Although hosting a championship game is obviously a
huge advantage, do not write off the Saints or Patriots as they were both close
to a “sure thing” on the road this season. As visitors, they were a combined
15-2 ATS and 14-3 SU. Be sure to keep a close eye to the
