Ima go out on a limb and pick Denver.....
sean Paytons task is simply to win 2 games with Stidham...
Stidham ain't great. But he ain't straight trash either...
And since he hasn't played in 2 years nobody has any tape on him.
So Payton has to scout his own guy and build an offense that plays to his strengths while masking his weaknesses.
Sean Payton is a good offensive mind and I think he can do that....but will it be enough to beat two playoff teams??... I think he just has to tread water with New England,...then let his defense beat the Pats by exploiting Drake Maye's inexperienced.
Focus on one game at a time...because once you get to the dance anything can happen...
Hell, whoever wins the nfc...their QB could pull an injury and miss the SB giving us a game of backups...
So Payton needs to win one...with Stidham...

AFC championship: Sean Payton expects Jarrett Stidham to 'rip it' vs. Patriots, believes Broncos backup is a starting-caliber NFL QB
There's no wavering from the Broncos ahead of Sunday's AFC title game despite a season-ending injury to Bo Nix. Will that confidence play out on the field against a smothering Patriots defense?

I'm going Pats simply because of Nix' injury. I think I saw a stat that there have been 6 backups starting Conference Championship games and only 1 QB came out the winner. That was Frank Reich for the Bills a long, long time ago.

Nick Foles?

Tom Brady.
Brady was just a backup QB when Drew Bledsoe was injured, and he stepped in and never looked back.
