Last week I was 2-2 in predicting the outcome of the games bringing my record in the playoffs to a pedestrian 5-3 without the points. This week we have a number 2 seed, a number 4 seed and two number 6 seeds that have made it this far the Conference Championship Round.
Here are the match ups for the Sunday:

Bird on bird. I like the roll both teams are on right now and this is a tough call. Out of nowhere the Arizona Cardinal's run defense has been stuffing oponents in the run game during the post season. I have Kurt Warner taking his share of lumps with the Eagles blitzes but I think they make enough big plays to beat the Eagles 31-24.

Bird hits Steel Curtain. The Raven's are a scary team and this game like last week's against Tennessee will be brutal in terms of collisions. The home field advantage will finally catch up with the Ravens and they will lose a close one 19-16.
Let's see if I am right. ◦
