The NFC game features division rival as the Packers visit the Bears for the first time with a title on the line.
Chicago has the home field,but I don't see a ton of advantages otherwise.
Green Bay is playing their best football of the season and they are getting mileage out of every player in the offense right now.
Chicago will have to get plenty of production from the running game to win this one and keep Jay Cutler from being in a position to have to bring the Bears back.
Cutler's history is that of making mistakes in bunch and that makes the difference in this one....
In the AFC,the Jets travel to Pittsburgh for the trip to the Super Bowl.
Both teams have great defenses and strong running games and I give the Jets the edge in shutting down the Pittsburgh receivers.
The two big edges in my opinion are at quarterback and coaching.
Pittsburgh has a huge edge with Ben Rothlisberger over the Jets Mark Sanchez,but the Steelers also have Mike Tomlin,who isn't exactly reliable in the clutch on the coaching end.
I will be rooting for the Jets,but Rothlisberger makes the difference.
Unless New York is able to put Mike Tomlin in a position to have to make big decisions in a close game,then I could see a Jets upset.
Going with head over heart in this one...
Our Picks
Packers 23-13
Steelers 20-14
