Its that time again.

AFC: Baltimore Ravens vs New England Patriots
NFC: New York Giants vs San Francisco 49ers

Predictions
-----------

AFC: New England Patriots. Face it Ravens are a different team on the road and their record shows it. Baltimore has a good defense but Patriots have a healthy O-line that can protect Brady. Bottom line Flacco can't keep up with Brady on offense.

NFC: New York Giants. Unless they play like the tired team that they are. This is by all means their fourth playoff game counting the last do or die regular season game against Dallas. The reason why the Giants have gotten this far is because they have made opposing QB's uncomfortable in the pocket. I don't see this changing as Alex Smith always chokes when he is pressured to make quick decisions apparent during the season. San Fran has a great defense but if they get into a defensive dog match with the Giants, I am going with Eli over Alex.

Being a Patriots fan, I don't want the Giants to win because the Pats become the Patsies against them but it would be good to have a rematch of the 2007 Superbowl and get some revenge!

Now lets see your choices!
 
I hoped for the Seahawks to do better....but........ I'm rooting for San Fran, though the Giants can probably beat anybody. I'm also going with the Ravens who the Seahawks beat...

LOL..... Go Bucs

I'm still going to say 49ers/Patriots for the Super Bowl. Even though the 49ers' weaknesses are there, they did beat the Giants earlier this year at Candlestick Park, 27-20. Besides, I think it's funny whenever Tom Coughlin has a temper tantrum!

I hope its Ravens and Giants but I think its gonna be Niners and Pats...A Harbaugh Bowl could be fun though too. Would love to see a fistfight afterwards...LOL
 
They say defense wins championships. I don't know if they're still going to say that if the Pats and Giants both win. I'm not convinced about Smith yet although he was very impressive vs the Saints.

Flacco is horrible but the Ravens keep on winning. QB influence is overrated. Look at Tebow winning 8 games and both Brees and Rodgers are gone fishing...

Wait..didn't he bring the Ravens to the Playoffs in his first 4 years in the league???

I disagree with your assessment.

Show me a team that gets into playoffs and I'll show you a team with a top quarterback.

Dilfer, Brad Johnson, Rex Grossman, Tebow, David Garrard, TJ Yates, do I need to go further???

I hope both games are good.

Giants and 49ers has all the makings of a dogmouth real football game. I'm impartial but I really hate the Giants. GO NINERS!!

Not sure what to make of the AFC game. I have nothing against the Patriots but I really want them to lose. I mean smashed bad. Not gonna happen but please have some mercy, no Patriots in the superbowel.
 
I was able to get tickets to the game tomorrow from a person I know with the team! It is going to be cold and it snowed a good 5 inches today but it will be so worth it IF the Patriots win.
