Who Will Make It to the Big Game? Experts Weigh In

The NFL playoffs are heating up, and only four teams remain in the hunt for the Super Bowl. Two experts, Florio and Simms, have shared their predictions for the Conference Championship games, and they don't see eye to eye. Last week, Florio backed all the underdogs, but none of them came through. Simms had a better week, going 2-2 straight up and against the spread. This season, Simms has a slight edge in straight-up wins, with a record of 187-94-1, compared to Florio's 177-104-1. However, Florio is still leading against the spread, with a record of 142-136-4, just two games ahead of Simms' 140-138-4. In the AFC Championship, the Patriots are heading to Denver as underdogs. The Patriots have struggled in Denver in the past, with a 0-4 record in playoff games there. Quarterback Drake Maye will need to play smart and avoid mistakes if the Patriots want to pull off an upset. For the Broncos, quarterback Jarrett Stidham will need to step up and lead the offense. The Broncos have the added advantage of being the underdogs, which could motivate them to prove the doubters wrong.Florio is picking the Broncos to win a close game, 27-23, while Simms is going with the Patriots, 24-17. In the NFC Championship, the Rams and Seahawks are meeting for the third time this season. Their last matchup was an epic overtime thriller, with the Rams blowing a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks will need to commit to running the ball to take advantage of the Rams' undersized defensive line. The Rams, meanwhile, will have receiver Davante Adams back in the lineup, which could be a game-changer. Florio is predicting a high-scoring game, with the Rams coming out on top, 34-30. Simms, on the other hand, is picking the Seahawks to win, 28-20. Who will be right this time? Only time will tell. One thing is for sure: these games are sure to be exciting.
