NFC

Carolina is the most complete team in the NFL. Like Pittsburgh, they are made for playoff football. Their ability to run the ball and stop the run is at it's peak (#1 in both categories over the last five weeks of the season).

Giants lost their last four games of the season. It looks like their off the field problems and injuries have caught up to them. Give them the weeks rest in the first round, and I feel the recover.

Philadelphia is definitely the sleeper of the bunch, but great defenses have been able to stuff both McNabb and Westbrook in the playoffs for the last five years. I don't see anything about this team that makes me believe they are any better suited to win a conference championship game on the road.
