SVP and Stanford Steve are back to break down the AFC and NFC Championship games along with an action-packed slate of college basketball. The Patriots are headed back to the Super Bowl after an ugly 10-7 win over the Broncos in the snow. The NFC championship game delivered, though, as the Seahawks bested the Rams in a classic.
