Charlie’s Championship Picks

1024 689 Charlie the Unicorn

Welcome back to the Charlie The Unicorns Championship Round Playoff predictions.

So far I’m 5-3 straight up, but 2-6 ATS, in the playoffs. I have gotten side-swiped pretty good this playoffs, nothing has been playing out like I thought it would. Both of my SB picks went out in the second round and many of the feel good stories have also collapsed. I still believe the winner of the NFCCG will win SB 50. Carolina and Cardinals are both talented and have had very good seasons. This is a common perception around the NFL as well… many of the talking heads on NFL.com and ESPN are jumping on the boat as well.

Sunday Football (Jan 24)

Patriots at Broncos 12:05 CBS

Point Spread : -3.0 Patriots
O/U : 44.5
Forecast: 48 Degrees / Drizzle
Prediction: 28 – 26 Broncos

Brady + Gronk + Edleman vs Top 3 Defense in the league. Manning + RBs + D .Thomas vs Patriots Defense. I still think the Patriots are doing it a bit with smoke and mirrors. The Broncos defense will have to be on point and can’t have any major gaffs. This is a game that favors a lower score…. under 30… in a shoot-out, Patriots most likely win. This will hopefully be the last Manning vs Brady game in the AFCCG. I’ll bet on history repeating itself….. Manning will get a shot at the SB, like his mentor Elway did late in his career.
So, is Manning the Sith apprentice of Darth Elway? We shall see… 

 

Cardinals at Panthers 15:40 FOX
Point Spread : -3.0 Panthers
O/U : 47.0
Forecast: 47 Degrees / Sunny
Prediction: 27 – 24 Cardinals

The game appears to really be simple to me, when making a prediction. The Cardinals OL must control the line of scrimmage. Carolina has arguably the best DL in the league. If Palmer can get some time, he could have a field day with a short staffed Panthers secondary. Hopefully the field is finally up to snuff for the game. There was talk of rain or snow a few days ago, but now it appears it is going to about as good of weather as can be expected. As I mentioned already, the winner of this game is my pick to win SB 50. The Championship drought in the desert will end this season.

 

Remember SKAsians, don’t hate the player, hate the game.
