Now for something important…

NFC Championship Game…Seattle vs. Carolina….couple of things to consider while picking this game..

1. Warm weather team in a cold, wet weather locale…advantage = Seahawks

2. Mascot matchup…Panthers win in a landslide. (ever see what a cat does to a bird?)

3. Coaching….Both are very intelligent, both are incredibly annoying. Fox dancing around the sidelines being the rah-rah guy. Holmgren “I Must Have GM Control” until of course I can’t make the playoffs with the team I accrued…so just let me go back to coaching. Advantage - push…who really cares anyway.

4. The Smith Factor - Steve Smith is pound for pound the best WR in the NFL. Don’t even leave a comment here saying otherwise. It will be deleted. On second thought, it won’t be deleted…it will be highlighted to show your ignorance.

5. Choke Factor - there were so many games this year that the Seahawks were just trying to give away. The problem was they were playing choke fest teams like the NY Giants, the Redskins, and any other team in the NFC besides Carolina.

6. Unis - Seahawks advantage.

GE’s pick….I’d love to see the Seahawks and the Broncos in the Super Bowl. It would be a great day for AFC West fans everywhere. But alas…I think Carolina will win.
