NFL 2009: Conference Championship Playoffs



New York at Indianapolis (-7 1/2)
Minnesota at New Orleans (-3 1/2)

These are intriguing matchups, and for the fun of it all, we're picking the underdogs for both. For the AFC game, Indianapolis supposedly has a weak attack against the run though they sure shut down Baltimore's last week. Likewise, the Jets have nothing to lose with their powerful defense. If they can control the ball and take the lead early on, they could pull the unthinkable.

Minnesota fighting New Orleans is a closer proposition. If Brett Favre can overcome the crowd noise at the Superdome and play his kind of offense, they could beat the Saints.
