We have arrived at the NFL conference championships. Here’s the picks for both games.

It was an eventful divisional round to say the least. All four home teams were able to hold serve in a number of dramatic contests. Who will advance to Super Bowl 50?

The New England Patriots held off the Kansas City Chiefs to snap the Chiefs’ 11-game win streak. The Arizona Cardinals needed overtime to defeat the Green Bay Packers in one of the best games of the season. How about that Jeff Janis?

On Sunday, the Carolina Panthers raced to a 31-0 lead over the Seattle Seahawks, but ended up clinging onto a 31-24 win. The Denver Broncos then relied on defense to win a scrappy game over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

We are now set up with probably the final meeting with Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, and a battle between the two best teams in the NFC in the Panthers and Cardinals.

Last week, I went a perfect 4-0 with my picks, and even got a correct score in the Pats-Chiefs game. It was by far my best week of picks of the season. So who is going to win this week? Here’s the picks for the conference championships. All lines are provided by OddsShark.
