Pittsburgh vs New England.
Pittsburgh will win, if they retain homefield advantage which they should barring any mishaps in the remaing few games. It should make for one of the more excitng AFC championships in recent memory seeing how things turned around so nicely in Pittsburgh.
Agree with OP on the Nfc prediction too, Philadelphia has a team that should take them past their recent "Choke" in the NFC championship.

I do have to say that for the first time really in a couple decades, they have a team mentality that's solid. They're not relying on big plays or luck to win games, but are actually playing good football. What SD usually does is grab a couple "star" players, focus everything on them, get a nice win streak at the beginning of the season, but then once everyone watches the films and learns who the threats are manage to fail miserably for the second half. This is the first year in a long time where that hasn't been the case. There are actually solid players in all positions, with both rookies and veterans filling those slots. They've done a good job at getting veterans in mentoring positions for rookies instead of playing them off against eachother ("star" rookie takes veterans slot, veteran signs as free agent and goes to the superbowl with another team... Seen that one like 50 times). That change in approach has been huge this year, and if they continue it will make them a competitor in seasons to come
As much as it pains me to say this (KC fan here), this is largely due to the influence/coaching of Marty Schottenheimer. While coaching KC from 92-99 the Chiefs' worst season was 9-7 and he only missed the playoffs once. His teams were balanced, based around a strong running game, strong defense and capable passing game that didn't make too many mistakes.
However, his shortcomings always came in the playoffs, as the farthest he ever made it with the Chiefs was to the AFC championship game in 1993/94 with Joe Montana. Surprisingly, I find myself hoping he does win the Superbowl this year, because I think his playoff losses owe more to bad luck and bad games than they do to his coaching ability.
My prediction:
AFC: San Diego 27
Indianapolis 42
NFC: Philadelphia 15
Carolina 9 (yes...this is my actual prediction)
Superbowl: Who cares?

I dont know the performance New England put on today was kinda pathetic. Barely beat the Bengals? and Carson Palmer was hurt alot of the game? New England is good there is no doubt but I think that the Steeler D will pull them through. Defense wins championships.
WOOT GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The worst rush defense since the NFL has been keeping track of the stat and yet they won the Superbowl. Sorry been waiting 2 years to reply to this lol. It was all about the Colts in Dec. 2004 and its all about the Colts today. Ooh yeah the Colts rock baby, this post was way to hard to find, time for another beer.
Necroposting is teh suck.
Go die, please.

Hah. I'd love that outcome as well. Um... Pretty darn unlikely though. While the Chargers are playing remarkably well, and haven't yet hit their "Oh hell. Nothings working anymore" phase, I'm a die hard fan, and I *know* that at some point they'll ***** up.
I'd like to observe for posterity that I called this bit right on the freaking money. Stupid Chargers... <grumble>
