The New Orleans Saints will defeat the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game and the New England Patriots will defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in New England.
This will set up the Saints vs the Patriots which would be a toss up however depending on what serious injuries each team has to deal with the advantage would go to the Patriots.
Everyone would look at last year's debacle where the Falcons pulled off the second biggest choke job of the century right after the Golden State Warriors' 3-1 advantage in the NBA playoffs and draw similar conclusions from the NFC rival New Orleans Saints.
However it is my prediction that the Saints will end up defeating the New England Patriots in a nail biter last second play.
24-23 Saints.
