Who Do I Root For? AZ, NC, MA, CO?

In National Football League(NFL) all 32 teams start the season in September with a clean slate and four weeks into the season it becomes obvious half the teams would have no chance of making the playoffs. 

The Thanksgiving Day marks the beginning of a final quarter of the regular season. The contenders are separated from pretenders by now. At this point the competition would be just heating up and top teams would be trying to make a statement of dominance by trying to finish with the best winning record possible and land the home field advantage in the process. Sometimes the teams even dream of going 16-0 which happened only a couple of times in NFL history. 
As the holidays in December get underway the last few playoff spots may still be up for grabs and teams would make a desperate run to make the cut. By the time Christmas rolls around the playoff field is pretty much set. Six teams from AFC and six teams from NFC boast the bragging rights of making it to the promised land. Out of the six teams two teams from each conference get a first round bye in other words they don't play the wild-card round of the playoffs. 
The winners of the wild-card week play the top dogs who sat out the first round in a week called divisional round. The 3rd week of January brings up the conference championship round that pits 2 teams in AFC and 2 teams in NFC. The two teams in each conference battle it out for a berth in the greatest spectacle in sports i.e., Superbowl. This year the SB will be played on February 7th at brand new state-of-the-art arena Levi Stadium in San Francisco Bay Area. 
Today is the Final Four of NFL - the Conference Championship Round. The four teams vying for the big game are : NFC - Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers & AFC - New England Patriots at Denver Broncos.

I have lived in all four states North Carolina, Arizona, Massachusetts and Colorado and it is hard to pick sides while deciding which team to root for. Now that I live in Boston, I would love to see the defending world champions Patriots back in Superbowl and winning it all so I can go see them in a parade for the second time in a row. But in reality I am rooting for all four teams and I hope to see some good football action today. All I wish for is some closely contested games that go to the wire.
