It’s a one-game season for the teams in this weekend’s Conference Championship games. Win and you’re on your way to sunny Glendale, AZ for Super Bowl XLII on February 3. Lose and it’s the sudden beginning of a long offseason. “Our whole season is at stake and so is theirs,” says New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick in describing his AFC Championship Game against the San Diego Chargers.

After a complete game 38-7 drubbing of the Oakland Raiders today, it’s easy to say the Green Bay Packers are balanced. Brett Favre may be having an MVP-type season, but he’s getting a lot of help. Let me count the ways:
The running game that was absent earlier in this 2007 season is now clearly led by Ryan Grant who carried the ball 29 times today for 156 yards.
Special teams are now scoring. Will Blackmon became the first player since 1974 to return a punt and fumble recovery in the same game for a …read more
