_{^{McVay’s face after the Caleb Williams TD throw.}}

Well, I think I was correct 3/4 teams last week, and for many of the reasons I illustrated [take a wild guess which one I got wrong!]

This week seems a bit anticlimactic. I suppose that’s why many argue that Championship Week is the best week of the NFL.

Two reasons for this is that Pats are going to face off against Broncos’ backup QB Jarrett Stidham.

Some [including the man himself] are pointing to Foles as a precedent; however, Foles didn’t just get thrown into the Conference Championship.

Others say, “Hey, Dilfer won it!” but again, at least he started in 8 games, and unless this Broncos’ D can hold the Pats to 13 and under, not much of blueprint.

If Broncos actually pull off the upset, Sean Payton should win COY unanimously.

2nd reason? The later game of Rams@Seahawks might resemble 9er@Seahawks from the previous week. The Seahawks’ D is steamrolling Os, and this protects them from Darnold Darnolding.

Their Specials ain’t shabby either.

In fact, they kinda remind me of the 2006 Bears-lite in that way; except they’re healthy, and don’t have Lovie as HC.

So my prediction: Pats-v-Seahawks SB.

The Evil Empire is back.
