We're thrilled to have Bill Konigsberg from ESPN.com (openly gay there) write for us his analysis of the AFC Championship Game

We'd love to get all of your picks.

I say:
Steelers 26, Pats 13
Rams 24, Iggles 16

My Picks:

Pats 21, Steelers 17
Rams 38, eagles 22

My picks:

Steelers 21 Pats 13

Rams 31 Eagles 3

My picks:

Pats 16, Steelers 13
Rams 41, Eagles 13

What I THINK:
Steelers - 31 Pats - 14
Rams - 28 Eagles - 14

What I HOPE:
Pats - 100 Steelers - 0
Eagles - 200 Rams - 0

I thought this was for the AFC only, but since everyone seems to be picking both games, I'll do the same. Though it's tough to pick against the Patriots because they just keep winning no matter what, I'm gonna say Steelers 22, Patriots 16 in the AFC.

As for the NFC, I sort of did my analysis in the Eagles-Rams thread, so I'll just tell you the score I'm getting in my head. <insert drumroll here....>

Eagles 23, Rams 19.

Steelers 26, Patriots 6

Rams 47, Eagles 10

Steelers in the AFC, Rams in The NFC. No turnpike superbowl, no Stewart-McNabb acrobatics...I hope I'm wrong on both picks

I have a request.

Anyone else who makes predictions, PLEASE DON'T PICK THE EAGLES TO WIN.

It'll make it all the sweeter to be proven to be THE true expert here!!!! Thank you for your cooperation.

Don't worry, Joe. Ain't gonna happen.

Rams 28, Eagles 18.

Pats vs Steel: the jury's still out. Only Georgev_f will know for sure...
