The Conference Finals of the 2013-14 NFL Playoffs are here. We will see two
games this weekend on Sunday.
I will follow the same process as last week where I will
make my personal predictions, which will be bolded, and my collectible
predictions, which will be italicized.
First is last week’s predictions and results:
With my personal predictions I was 3-1, with my

Game 1:
Personal prediction: Seahawks (1-0)
Collectible prediction: Seahawks (1-0)

Let us move on to the Conference Finals predictions
Game 1:
San Francisco 49ers at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Betting odds: Seahawks favored by 3.5 points with an O/U
39
49ers:
Colin Kaepernick QB
Michael Crabtree WR
Patrick Willis LB
Seahawks:
Russell Wilson QB
Golden Tate WR
Richard Sherman DB
Wilson and Kaepernick have shown the NFL that the young
guys can keep up with the old guys and collectors are paying attention.
Crabtree and Tate are young brash wide receivers who can put up numbers and
Willis and Sherman are prototype at their position. Collectability-wise these
teams are on par with each other so this week I am going to be a homer and go
with the Hawks.
WINNER: Seattle Seahawks
Game 2:
NEW ENGLAND
PATRIOTS at Denver Broncos
Betting odds: Broncos favored by 5.5 points with an O/U
55
Patriots:
Tom Brady QB
Julian Edelman WRDanny Amendola WR
Broncos:
Peyton Manning QB
Wes Welker WRMontee Ball RB
This game is almost on the opposite end of experience with Brady and Manning proving their value, Amendola and Welker are the quiet receivers who catch everything thrown their way and rather anonymous defenses that were both top 10 defenses. This is one of those games that really can go either way, I was leaning towards Denver at the beginning of the season but as of late I have a feeling that the Patriots will take this game. Either way I think that Peyton and the Broncos are the collectible winners.
WINNER: Denver Broncos
This is the last week of my predictions, next up will be
the return of Sports Card Super Bowl
