(Home team in ALL CAPS)
Conference Championships
Atlanta over NY GIANTS (Sorry, New York, but there are larger forces at work here. The inspired Falcons soar to one of the most impossible-to-believe Super Bowls ever.)
Baltimore over PITTSBURGH (Accuse me of being a homer all you want, but you can't tell me the Ravens didn't outplay the Steelers for most of those two heartbreakers. Third time's the charm, as we finally close the deal.)
Super Bowl
Baltimore over ATLANTA (Joe Flacco didn't win Rookie of the Year, and John Harbaugh won't win Coach of the Year, but none of that will matter when they lift that Lombardi trophy in the air. I hear you scoffing out there. Well, but answer me this: In this craziest of seasons, when practically nothing has held to form, do you really think the football gods will give us Colts-Giants?)
