both on Sunday…

AFC Championship, 3:00
Steelers @ Denver(3.5)
Is there a team hotter right now than Pittsburgh? I know the Broncos are tapped into the “no respect” thing since they had a great record and are getting little media love, but I’m not a believer in that actually working. I’m taking the Steelers.

NFC Championship, 6:30
Panthers @ Seattle(3.5)
The best player on the field will be Steve Smith, again. I see no compelling reason to believe that the Seahawks can stop him. Plus, I think Fox will out-coach Holmgren. The only thing that worries me is that Peppers isn’t 100%. Still, I like Carolina.
