NFL Championship Sunday game picks Seahawks Patriots win
I can still see Ty Law picking clean along the left sideline.It was 11 years ago in some crappy conditions at Gillette, and it was the last time the hosted the in . It wasn't the last time New England and Indy battled for the conference title; , with the making a comeback that ranks as an Robinson Chirinos Jersey all-timer among conference championship games. But the contest from the 2003 playoffs sticks out because of its far-reaching effects. would go on to win his second , launching the Brady vs. Manning comparisons, while 's burgeoning dynasty was further established. It also changed the pa sing game forever, advancing football -- or setting it back, depending on how you feel about physical defense. Afterward, then- general manager Bill Polian complained about New England linebackers putting their hands on guys like Marcus Pollard, pushing a "re-emphasis" of the illegal contact rule. And now we have what seems like flagball. Either way, there was nothing controversial about Law's three picks that day, which were a big reason to not make the 's finalist grouping for the Cla s of 2015., we'll watch newer versions of both clubs -- with New England and Indy being in the league -- square off in Foxborough. As for ...The real impre sive part: Seahawks have allowed league-low 4 TDs on pa ses gaining 10+ yards. TE TDs usually short. Scott Kacsmar (@ScottKacsmar) Solid stuff here. True but a lot were early in the season - gave up 3 to Gates alone in Week 2 when Chancellor could barely walk... J D (@Rumrunner11) Looks like J.D.'s three amigos sure could use a walk.Slob -- is it OK if I call you slob? -- check the last four letters in Quarle s' last name. That should answer your question. Oh boy that ought to make the Houston Astros Jersey next game interesting. matthew frech (@FrechMatthew) Biased in Boston? Maybe. Getting ahead of yourself? Absolutely. The have a game to play before they potentially go for their first Lombardi Trophy in a decade. Let's see how the AFC title contest goes before doing any Gronk vs. Legion of Boom projections. As far as the actual predictions for Championship Sunday go, take a gander below. Per the usual, feel free to share your take: is the place.Now, let's get to it!Elliot Harrison went 2-2 on , giving him a record of 178-85-1 so far this season. How will he fare on Championship Sunday? His picks are below. And listen to for additional analysis of this weekend's football forecast., , ... If the want to win, Green Bay must establish the run. Don't make this an Carlos Lee Jersey limp-fest, as brilliant as he is. Make play close to the line, thus creating a situation in which is e sentially going single-high. Of course, Thomas is capable of covering plenty of ground, and the Seattle front seven might be good enough to stop Lacy without too much help from Chancellor in run support. The bottom line is, Rodgers doesn't care who the safety is; when he sees just one back there, he'll fearle sly take his shots. And he will fearle sly hold the ball until the last second. That resulted in eight sacks when these two clubs met in two years ago. It also resulted in that turned into a safety this season. Rodgers doesn't care. He has tremendous trust in his ability and his supporting cast. On that note, could cause Seattle trouble out of the slot. I also expect the ball to go to tight end in the red zone. As noted above, the gave up plenty of touchdowns to tight ends this year. All that strategic mumbo jumbo aside, will make enough plays to win? Yep. was masterful against the , and it's not as if they had to worry about him running like Wilson. Green Bay did have to worry about on the ground -- and other than the back produced. , who isn't a fumbler, should follow suit against that Green Bay front seven. I don't care if all he says to reporters after the game is -- Lynch will be a bowling ball of desire, one that I'm not sure the can stop 25 times. Somewhere, perhaps lodged in a hairball straight from 's beard, lies the blueprint for beating the . Of course, not Jose Cruz Jersey even Luck's facial hair, which has gone from an Abe Lincoln special to straight-up Grizzly Adams, can distract from his blemished lifetime record against New England: 0-3. Luck wasn't the reason last week -- or why will no longer be -- but he is capable of putting the on his back. Hopefully for him, he won't have to, because if the Indy defense -- the real driving force behind the ' Divisional Round win -- repeats its performance from last Sunday, this interesting matchup will become anybody's game. Even-steven. First, though, the must keep out of the end zone. The tight end has scored five times in four career games against them. must catch more than three balls for 24 yards -- Hilton's line from to New England -- against . (I don't see matching up with Hilton's speed.) Speaking of New England's defense, I anticipate the Pats mixing coverages more than trying to blitz Luck. Belichick faced the ' phenom, New England blitzed the kid 17 times. Hey, Luck was a rookie quarterback ... why not pre sure him? In though, the blitzed him just eight times. Then, Luck had 43 dropbacks -- and New England blitzed a scant seven times. Ultimately, I think Belichick and Co. play this game relatively straight, with a little more sprinkled in than there was in over the . And the will make the bearded kid beat their coverage without the gimmes that unsucce sful blitzes bring. After typing Evan Gattis Jersey all that while listening to the music from I realize I haven't yet mentioned 's name. . There you go. Follow Elliot Harrison on Twitter .
