Los Angeles Rams vs New Orleans Saints
3:05pm on Fox
How is it that Drew Brees keeps getting better? I keep hearing about what he can no longer do and more recently how his 40 year old arm is starting to show its age. Yet here he is in the NFC Championship ready for the challenge from Jared Goff. This has the potential to become a passing clinic with both teams putting a lot of points on the scoreboard. But one stat stands out: rushing yards allowed. The Saints have a huge advantage here. As a result the Rams fortunes will fall on the ability of their O-line to open things up for Todd Gurley. I think Gurley needs a 100yd day for the Rams to win. Even then I do not think they can overcome a good Saints team.
Rams 45-Saints 51

These teams are on the path to playing what could be the game of the year. Unfortunately if you like low scoring and smothering defense this is not what you will find. Both teams will move the ball and this could come down to who has the ball last. I also think coaching will play a big part in this game especially after the 2:00 warning of both halves. I think a close game favors the Patriots.
Patriots 45-Chiefs 42
No matter the results this weekend, we are looking at a high scoring Super Bowl in a couple of weeks. These last three games should be a fun end to a great season.
