USA TODAY Sports' NFL championship game playoff picks

Our staff of estimable NFL experts know how the Falcons, Steelers, Saints and Titans feel coming off a rough week. Only Lindsay H. Jones broke even in the  divisional round, and by sticking with Minnesota, she's the only one left with her pre-playoffs Super Bowl prediction intact.

Everyone's on board with the Patriots, though only Nate Davis and Mike Jones had them reaching the Super Bowl and winning it a few weeks ago.

Opinions are split on the NFC side, but the edge goes to the Vikings, trying to complete their quest to become the first team to play a Super Bowl on its home field.
