For these two games under our point system for our handicapping contest, there are four points each for the taking, and Jay being down 8.1 points to me has to go against me for at least one of the games in order to stay alive. Jason has made his call for which game to disagree with me on Championship Sunday. Despite making the drive to Atlanta to cheer on his Falcons, and despite picking Atlanta to win and cover on the podcast, he's going to back the Pack and hope that I choke on it. He'd rather do that than take the Steelers over a Patriots team that just got beat around by Houston and still managed to cover a 15-point spread. Can't argue with him on that call. If Green Bay covers, it's all on the line for us in the Super Bowl, making me the world's biggest Matty Ice backer. Here are our picks for the conference finals:
