The Conference Championships

This week it is the Conference Championships. In the AFC it is the New England Patriots against the Denver Broncos. In the NFC it's the Seattle Seahawks against the San Francisco 49ers.

The AFC

The Broncos will play host to the Patriots at the Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver. The New England Patriots are considered underdogs for the matchup in Denver. The QB Tom Brady from Michigan University has a 2-6 record playing in Mile High however has a 2-1 record against Peyton Manning in the post season. He considers the team to be the underdogs going into the match even though he has a winning record against the Denver QB Peyton Manning.

The Teams

The Broncos have a great pass defence but Brady maintains that the Patriots are a running team and the Broncos have struggled against the run but have started to come on recently but have lost MLB Von Miller who is a monster for the Denver defence. Despite the great pass defense the game is set to be a shoot-out even with Legarrette Blount out of the University of Oregon who rushed for four touchdowns and 166 yards in Foxborough, Massachusetts and Stevan Ridley out of the University of Cincinnati for New England Patriots and Knowshon Moreno and Montee Ball out of the University of Wisconsin

The NFC

The Seattle Seahawks host San Francisco 49ers in CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington. In the regular season San Francisco lost 29-3 in Seattle  but won at home 19-17. San Francisco are considered underdogs as the Seattle QB Russel Wilson has not lost a home game (apart from one this season) since high school.

The Teams

The Seahawks have lost their number one WR Percy Harvin but are deadly on the ground with RB Marshawn Lynch out of the University of California. The Seahawks defence is the best at passing but have struggled against the run. They are the best passing defence because they have CB Richard Sherman out of Texas A&M University. Sherman can play man to man better than anyone else. The game will be tight as the 49ers are a running team but their RB Frank Gore is in a slump while their mobile QB Colin Kaepernick is on a roll however he will need to throw as Seattle will most likely create a shoot-out game. This week will be tight so Enjoy Watching!
