NFL Conference Finals: FanHouse's Experts Make Their Picks

Just four teams remaining in the NFL playoffs -- and that number will be cut in half by late Sunday night.

Green Bay and Chicago kick off the league's conference-championship weekend in the Windy City, followed by the Jets visiting Pittsburgh for a battle with the Steelers.

Which teams will survive and advance to Super Bowl XLV in Dallas? Our experts make their predictions:

Packers at Bears (Sunday, 3 p.m. ET)


Barry Barnes	Bears, 27-17	Green Bay's on a roll, while Chicago hasn't worked up a sweat in four months. Packers homegrown stars Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews beat Bears free agents Jay Cutler and Julius Peppers. -- David Elfin A home underdog that knows the visiting team well, went 1-1 in two games against it and hasn't had to work hard in over a month, against a road favorite everybody loves whose QB never plays well against the home team and is playing for its life for the fifth week in a row? Makes me wish I was in Vegas. -- Dan Graziano Although the Packers have a better top-to-bottom roster than the Bears, the combination of home-field advantage at Soldier Field and superior special teams will send the Bears to the Super Bowl. -- Michael David Smith
David Elfin	Packers, 24-20
Ray Glier	Packers, 24-14
Dan Graziano	Bears, 17-10
Chris Harry	Packers, 26-13
John Hickey	Packers, 20-17
Andy Kent	Packers, 30-24
John Oehser	Bears, 24-21
Michael David Smith	Bears, 20-17

Jets at Steelers (Saturday, 6:30 p.m. ET)


Barry Barnes	Jets, 23-20	The Jets' secondary will keep Pittsburgh's talented wideouts in front of them, and New York won't be intimated to run against the Steel Curtain. -- Barry Barnes Same old Jets -- they lose in the AFC title game for the second year in a row. -- Chris Harry Pittsburgh's defense is leaps and bounds ahead of New England's, especially with Troy Polamalu in the lineup, which will spell trouble for Mark Sanchez and the Jets offense. -- Andy Kent
David Elfin	Steelers, 24-23
Ray Glier	Jets, 21-17
Dan Graziano	Jets, 21-17
Chris Harry	Steelers, 23-7
John Hickey	Steelers, 24-13
Andy Kent	Steelers, 27-20
John Oehser	Steelers, 28-17
Michael David Smith	Steelers, 24-14
