NFL Predictions 2009

****I put the beer away since the last posting. While it pains me, Oakland is a year away from challenging San Diego in the AFC West. The Chargers win the division, the Raiders finish second. Denver and Kansas City are going to be horrible, that part wasn't alcohol induced.****

NFC Championship Game

Green Bay over Philadelphia - The Dog Killer of Philadelphia misses the Super Bowl, allowing Roger Goodell to breath easy. Imagine the media frenzy at the Super Bowl around Michael Vick. Then again, don't bother. Dogs everywhere rejoice as Aaron Rodgers exorcises the ghost of Favre and leads the Pack back to the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl 44

Indianapolis 27, Green Bay 17 - I picked the Colts here last year, and they screwed me. Without Tony Dungy and Marvin Harrison, Peyton Manning captures his 2nd Super Bowl title.
