I'm Mr. Inconsistent as I went 4 for 4 in my predictions last week after going 2-4 in the wildcard round. So we are at Conference Championship weekend and here are my predictions.


Tampa Bay vs. Green Bay: The battle of the bays. The matchup everyone wanted. Brady vs. Rodgers. The two future Hall of Famers battling it out to get to the Super Bowl. It will be an epic matchup as both these quarterbacks are so old that they may never make it back this far. Unless you're Tom Brady and you play until your 50. As for the matchup, it's a coinflip. But my pick is the Packers because I don't know if the Bucs Defense can stop MVP Rodgers. I'm probaly wrong but we will see. Packers 34 Bucs 31


Bills Vs Chiefs. The Best Matchup possible for the the AFC Championship matchup. Another great quarterback matchup with Pat Mahomes, who was confirmed to play after being hurt last week, vs Josh Allen. Arrowhead vs Bills Mafia. This will be an amazing game. A lot of people, including State Farm, want the Chiefs to Win because then it will be the State Farm Bowl if the Packers take care of business too. I honestly want to say Bills, because I feel like Bills-Packers will be a better game. But I can't deny Mahomes and the Chiefs. So because of that I will pick the Chiefs to win.


Chiefs 35 Bills 31


One more thing: My dad brought up a interesting point on the Browns-Chiefs game.


Mahomes got knocked out with a concussion, so Chad Henne came into the game. The Browns were down 22-17 and punted on fourth and 9 at their own 32 with 4:19 left and just one timeout. Kansas City got a first down and then had 4th and inches at the two minute warning near midfield. Andy Reid went for it with his backup QB and had him throw a pass. Tyreek Hill caught it and the game was over. He fooled everyone -- even Tony Romo.


My dad said, “At least when you are aggressive and go for it, you control your fate better than if you kick it away and hope for a stop. I get the Browns' choice — Henne had thrown a really bad INT on the previous drive — but with just one timeout left and less than 5 minutes to play, this is a tough look.”


So do you agree or do you think he is crazy. See you next time and remember #HennethingIsPossible.
