Pretty self-explanatory.
Pick one from each game -- which team will you be rooting for in the NFL Conference Championship games?

Well, the New England/Denver game is tough in my house. My wife is a Pats fan but I am a HUGE Peyton fan, he does represent Nationwide as well . I will be secretely rooting for Denver but won't be upset if New England wins. The Arizona/Carolina game is another one that is a little tough for me. I really like Carolina and Cam Newton but I also really want to see Palmer/Fitzgerald get one before they retire. When you don't have a team in the fight it is fun to sit back and watch and just enjoy whatever the outcome is.

It is easy to enjoy a great game when you aren't tense over the results. And I really hope for great games this weekend. While there have been some close games this year, the playoffs seem a little sloppy to me, not what I expected. I'd love to see P Manning play in one more SuperBowl, and the Panthers are fantastic. I'm still waiting for Brady to start his suspension.

While I live in New England, I am not, nor have ever been, a Pats fan. Hence, I will be rooting for Denver, big-time on Sunday. (I root for both NYG and IND, so it was a tough year for me...but my teams have won 3 of the last 9 Super Bowls, so I can't complain.)

I don't have as much of a preference in the NFC game. I think Bidwill is a cheap loser as an owner, who doesn't deserve a Lombardi trophy, but I do like Arians and Fitzgerald. Carolina possibly going 18-1 is a compelling story, too. Basically, in the NFC game, I'm rooting for whoever has the best chance to beat the Pats, which I think is Carolina.

can I hope that both the broncs and the pats lose?
