One thing that adds to the spice of the NFL is that come playoff time all games are do or die. Unlike other sporting events, there's no best of 3 or 5 or 7---it's lose and go home! In this sense, statistics does not really matter in forecasting who will meet in the Superbowl. The team who gets the better breaks win!
By default, the defending champion is expected to repeat, but then, there's only a handful of Superbowl streaks in NFL history. So I guess this would be wishful thinking. Look where the New Orleans Saints are right now?
We are now down to the NFC and AFC championship. Pittsburg Steelers vs. New York Jets. Chicago Bears vs. Greenbay Packers.
The Jets won in 22-17 during their regular season match up with the Steelers. While the Packers and the Bears split their two game meeting in tightly contested battles. My fearless forecast is: Pittsburg Steelers vs. Greenbay Packers. Why? Because it's a fearless forecast; meaning, I don't give a rat's ass what anyone else has to say! Nahhh, just pulling your leg there! Of course, I want to be entertained come Superbowl day and the Steelers and the Packers would be a better match up. Other than that, I'm a Packers fan so that one's a given. However, I do have this palpitating urge to cheer for the Jets just to give credit to Rex Ryan's effort in bringing his team this far.
