Championship Week Predictions

There are two teams that have each went to 4 Super Bowls. Eight SBs without winning a single one of them.

The Vikings lost all 4 of their appearances over an 8 year span.

The Bills lost 4 in a row.

The Packers are 4-1 right now. 

I am a proud Packers fan. I want them to go to the Super Bowl. I will not be negativly effected if 'they' lose. I am happy they made it that far. There is always next year.

I will also not be positively effected if 'they' win. Yes, I will be happy that my favorite team won the SB.

For me it is entertainment. Tomorrow, I get to watch episode 18 of this season. Hopefully, in 15 days, I will be able to watch episode 19 and see the good guys prevail.

i hope to see the season finale. I think I will.

21-20, Packers

Thank you! I was going back and forth in my head on that.

I don't know who will win.  I'd give the edge to the Niners because they're at home and they have a dominant defense (most of the time).  That said, for the Packers the game hinges in the O-Line.  If they play a great game, AR will have time to throw and the running game will be successful.  And if that happens, the Packers will almost certainly win.

The wild card for both teams is turnovers.  Neither can afford turnovers and expect to win.

Use the same strategy on the Niners as teams use on the Badgers- stop the run and make the QB beat you. Jimmy G. will throw it up for grabs and the Niner coaches would prefer to not have the game in his hands.

Except that the 49ers actually have a quarterback.

The Packers are pumped for this game. The mistakes that were made the last time they played the 49ers, will not happen again. Packers win this game to advance to the Super Bowl and to, hopefully, shut up the naysayers and never beens that plague us here. Trying to hide in plain sight to disparage Packers' fans here on X4 is no way to go through life, Jayhole! Maybe you should try to think what it is like to root for a team that has done something in their existence, instead of being a pathetic vikings' fan.

Did you watch the last game?  No they don't.  Easily the worst QB in the playoffs from start to finish.  That guy makes DuzzCuzz look calm and collected.

Didn't you pick Seattle to win too? Asking for a friend.

They peaked.  They beat a joke of a Minny team and Kendricks almost picked Jimmy G twice. 

I watched the way the Niners attacked Vikings in 2nd half. Run the ball. Same thing Packers did on a Monday Night. Don't tell me they didn't use some tape from Green Bay to beat the Vikings. Packers beat them twice. That's no accident. 

Anyone that thinks Packers can't win this game is either....

1) A Viking fan. 

2) Doesn't know football. 

I promise you, the Niners are ready. Their fans are terrified due to previous games where Packers beat them. 

Packers are in the fans psyche. Some Niner players might be over confident but Shanahan has done a good job this week drilling it into their heads that the November game doesn't mean shit. 

It's going to be a war. I fully expect controversy, gut wrenching plays, elation. Yes full on roller coaster ride. I wouldn't want it any other way.

If this train ride ends on Sunday night, so be it. What a fantastic successful season this has been. 

Yes, I did expect the sea chickens to win. I really really hope I am wrong again. This is a quality team this year and I am wearing my GB gear and rooting for an upset. How cool would that be! 👍🏻

If there’s a weak link on the 49’ers, this is it. Z and Co. will have to get him running around a bit though and not let him get in a rhythm and gain confidence. He’ll toss up a couple bad ones and the Pack will need to cash in.

He's still better than Mertz, Coan, and the Badgers' 19th century offense.

Yup

To beat the Whiners...

1. Don't turn it over and gift them easy points
2. Pressure Kark 2.0
3. Take away his checkdowns, make him beat you downfield by making tough throws.

Chiefs 31 Titans 17
Packers 24 Niners 21

Book it.

Hope Lang is right; a replay of the first SB would be nice.

1b. Stop the 3-headed monster run game.
