Re: Robert Jensen's Conference Championship Round picks for the Conference Championship Round games

as the title of the thread says Robert Jensen of Dallas Cowboys fame will pick the conference Championship round winners

As it stands now the conference Championship round games are :

American Conference
Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers


National Conference
Detroit Lions at Washington Redskins

With that out of the way lets see if they have played each other before or not.

Denver Broncos faced San Diego Chargers in the 4th week of the season and in the 15th week of the season
here is the 4th week game = https://mfn8.myfootballnow.com/log/2452 and https://mfn8.myfootballnow.com/box/view/2452
Denver won 29-12
here is the 15th week game = https://mfn8.myfootballnow.com/log/2634 and https://mfn8.myfootballnow.com/box/view/2634
San Diego won 28-3

Detroit Lions didn't face Washington Redskins at all during the season.

Now for the picks

reporter = knowing you picked 3 of the right winners (Denver, Detroit and Washington) and with the 4 of the right winners in the wildcard round you are at 7-1 which is better than 7-4 which you have 3 more games to pick which you could finish better this season than last season so what do you have to say about that??
Jensen = I am totally shocked right now I am 7-1 which is right now has a chance of being 3 games better than last season where I was 7-4 though I could as easily go 7-4 again.

reporter = lets start with Denver Broncos who won their division round game 23-9 which comes out to a 14 point winning margin and which won the 4th week matchup by 17 points over San Diego against San Diego Chargers who won their division round game 38-27 which comes out to a 11 point margin and which won the 15th week matchup by 25 points over Denver who do you think will win that matchup??
Jensen = I would have to go with San Diego Chargers in that they won by a 36 point margin awhile Denver won by 31 point margin when you combine those win totals in their division round game and their matchup game they won.
Only way I could see Denver winning is they take their anger out on San Diego for not being picked to win the game.
Score will be 28-26 with a missed field goal by Denver that decides the game.

reporter = now lets go to Detroit Lions who won their division round game 39-9 which comes out to a 30 point winning margin against Washington Redskins who won their division round game 24-6 which comes out to a 18 point winning margin which btw they didn't face each other at all during the season so this game should be exciting to say the least so who do you think will win that matchup??
Jensen = I would have to go with Washington Redskins in that really this is the 2nd straight season they have had the homefield advantage in thru out the playoffs and actually took advantage of it by going to their 2nd straight conference championship game where they will be the host for the 2nd straight season ( https://mfn8.myfootballnow.com/forums/thread/1/386?page=1#735 ) and they won all their playoff games last season and it looks like they will do it again this season
Only way I could see Detroit winning is their division round game was just the start of something great for that team and every team will be watching them in fear that they will lay down the smackdown on all comers for the TITLE.
Score will be 70 - 3


Reporter = So here is those picks again in case someone missed Robert Jensen's picks
San Diego 28 - 26 Denver
Washington 70 - 3 Detroit
