Turmoil appears to have caused the Vikings to jel rather than fall apart and their win over the Packers made it clear they are a very dangerous team.

If they expect to move on they'll need a balanced offensive attack and a strong game from QB Daunte Culpepper working against an aggressive Philadelphia defense. There is no question the loss of WR Terrell Owens hurts the Eagles' chances of finally getting to the Super Bowl, but don't feel too bad for them. They have gone to the last three NFC Championship Games without Owens and they made it to the penultimate game without RB Brian Westbrook, who missed the postseason with a torn triceps, last year. While Westbrook and QB Donovan McNabb will have to carry the offense on their shoulders without Owens in the lineup, they are more than capable of rising to the challenge. Minnesota are 1-7-0 ATS in their last 8 games against Philadelphia.

I'm taking the Eagles 31 Vikings 27

In Depth Preview

Heinz Field will once again be the forum for this divisional matchup. As the Steelers look to fend off a Jets team that built momentum with an upset win at San Diego in the wild-card round last week.

The goal will be similar for the Jets this week, as they need to combat a stout run defense by opening things up and being more creative. If Chad Pennington and his receivers – particularly speedster Santana Moss – can get on the same page early on it will put a lot of pressure on rookie QB Ben Roethlisberger. If not, the Steelers should be able to successfully defend their home turf with a strong commitment to Jerome Bettis and the running attack, which will take much of the pressure off of Big Ben in his first NFL postseason action. Pittsburgh are 6-2-0 SU in their last 8 games after being 7.5 to 10 point underdogs

I'm taking the Steelers 24 Jets 21

(14-2, 8-0 home)

This is the matchup that all true NFL fans have been waiting for since last January, as the Colts travel to Foxboro to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots in a rematch of last year's AFC Championship Game. The game-within-the-game is the psychological matchup between QB Peyton Manning and head coach Bill Belichick, as Manning is just 4-7 in 11 previous meetings versus Belichick-coached teams.

However, without star cornerback Ty Law and with standout DE Richard Seymour hobbled, will Belichick have enough weapons to pull yet another rabbit out of his hat? If the Patriots are to overcome an ailing defense, their offense will have to control the clock and field position battles in this game. New England are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games against Indianapolis and Indianapolis are 6-3-0 ATS in their last 9 games.

I'm picking an upset here though and taking Indy 35 New England 27

In Depth Preview

(11-5, 7-1 home)

Atlanta beat St. Louis 34-17 when these two teams met on Sept. 19. But the Rams appear to have some momentum with three straight wins, including last week's victory over Seattle. St. Louis will rely heavily on the arm of QB Marc Bulger, and his success early on will play a critical role in the outcome, as it needs to take the crowd out of the game. However, staying balanced is the key when working against the Falcons' outstanding defense.

The Rams will need to mix in the run early and often. Atlanta will counter with a strong commitment to the running game in the hopes of taking pressure off QB Michael Vick and keeping its talented but undersized defense well rested. The challenge for St. Louis will be slowing that ground game down and forcing Vick, who has been inconsistent as a passer, to make plays with his arm. St Louis are 1-5-0 ATS in their last 6 away games

Sorry Rams but you're overachieving stops in the Georgia Dome. I'm taking The Falcons to win this game. Falcons 30 Rams 20
