THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW AND PREDICTION

Today the San Francisco 49ers host the Green Bay Packers for the NFC championship. Both teams finished the regular season 13-3.  This is the second and final game of Conference Championship weekend and it should be a good one. Here is my preview and prediction.

The Green Bay Packers are led by QB Aaron Rodgers. In order for Green Bay to win he will have to find other receivers besides Devante Adams.   After Adams there has not been much help from the receiving corps. The good news is they have two tight ends that are capable of picking up the slack. Another way Green Bay wins today is if they can control the 49ers offense.  They can do so by putting together long drives and keeping the 49er offense off of the field.

The San Francisco 49ers have home-field advantage, but that’s not the only advantage they have. They have a better defense and they have a better passing game. On paper they should not have a problem beating the Packers.  As long as the 49ers stick to their game plan they will come out victorious. Cornerback Richard Sherman is playing his best football and may be the key to victory today. If he can shut down Adams the 49ers will be the NFC champions.

My prediction:  San Francisco 28, Green Bay 14.
