NFL picks--Championship Sunday

Last week: 3-1
Season record: 166-82

So now there are just three games left, but they are literally for all the marbles.  The football Final Four, if you will.  This has been a weird season in many ways, but 3/4 of the teams playing on Sunday were expected to be here.  And 3/4 of them have a good chance of winning it all.  The Colts, who are capable of beating any of these teams, are probably a year or so away.  Of course, nothing would really surprise me or most of you, right?  Here we go....

Green Bay at Seattle--This is a rematch of the Week 1 Thursday nighter that Seattle won to set the tone for the season.  My people here in Wisconsin remember that game all too well and are not so confident for the rematch....at least the people I know.  Aaron Rodgers is hobbling, so the Seahawks and their swarming, speedy defense are going to try to rattle #12.  But Rodgers has a quick release, a strong arm and a good running game.  The Hawks are the Hawks--and they are peaking at the right time.  Seahawks 27, Packers 24

Indianapolis at New England--You gotta believe Bill and Tom were pleased that Peyton Manning will be on his couch this Sunday.  So while the Broncos would have been a tough out, a new era of the Colts/Pats rivalry has officially begun.  But for now at least, Andrew Luck is the student and Brady the teacher.  And the teacher and his Gronk will put on a clinic.  Patriots 37, Colts 31
