Conference Championships

Pittsburgh Steelers at New England
I still think Pittsburgh can run the ball against the Patriots.
By running the ball they will also have a good defense; keep Brady off the field.
Pittsburgh is going to the Super Bowl.

Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons

The Packers have the hot hand.
This should be a good game, but I think Green Bay finds a way to win this game.

Super Bowl LI

NFC Champions Green Bay Packers versus AFC Champions Pittsburgh Steelers

I'm going with the hot hand!  The Lambeau Trophy goes to it's hometown ... Green Bay!

Your Super Bowl Champions shall be...

The Green Bay Packers
