NFL Championship Game Weekend

I went 3-1 with my NFL playoff predictions last week. That greatly helped my overall record, getting me to 4-4. The conference championship games are this weekend. I'd love to finish above .500 for the playoffs, so here goes:

Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears (Sunday at 3:00)- These two teams know each other extremely well and split the two games they played during the regular season. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense are humming right now and should be able to overcome the advantage the Bears will have playing at home at Soldier Field.

New York Jets at Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday at 6:30)- By and large (their QB excluded), the Steelers organization takes a workmanlike, professional approach both on and off the field. In contrast, the Jets seem to relish being reality TV stars. Being fundamentally sound and having home-field advantage should work in the Steelers favor.
