Superbowl (0-0)
I hate to do this again because I really have no interest in seeing the Titans win the Superbowl, but I think this is going to be a close game.  The Rams should still win, but the spread should only be about -3.  This is a tough one though, as St.Louis covered the spread nearly every week this season.  It feels odd to pick them not to for two consecutive weeks, but this is the Play-offs which is totally different than playing the Saints.  Again, however, if you look at other weeks - for example, when the Rams played the 49ers they were favored by 8.  When they played Carolina, the spread was -7.  Now they are playing a team that is very very good and the spread hasn't changed?  Does that make sense?  It doesn't to me.

  PUSH, Tennessee +7 over St.Louis (@StL 23 - Ten 16)


Conference Championships (1-0)
I hate to do this since I really hope the Rams go all the way, but that line is the product of a lot of people jumping on the band wagon.  Yes, they are good, but look at the games below when I recommended the Rams: -10 over the Bears, -10.5 over New Orleans, -7 over Carolina, -14 over New Orleans and -8 over San Francisco.  Now they are actually playing a team that is MUCH better than all of those teams (obviously) and the line got bigger?  I'm sorry, that makes no sense.  The Rams should still win, but this line should only be about -9 or -10.

  WIN, Tampa Bay +14 over @St.Louis (@StL 11 - TB 6)
