congrats to the Giants
They are getting hot at the right time again
Kudos to Eli this season as well
And as much time as Coughlin spends on the hot seat, he deserves a lot of credit

Niners and Giants defenses will be fun to watch
Great championship game

I hope the Pats take care of the Ravens
 
To be serious and not trolling for one second, I think that NE will have trouble on D against the Ravens. A lot of trouble actually. I'm glad that they played all 60 mins yesterday and have a lot of confidence going in.
 
My predictions before the games :

Saints 27 San Francisco 17

Patriots 44 Denver 24

Houston 17 Baltimore 14

Green Bay 34 Giants 14


wow.

Well one out of four isn't too bad. *cough*
 
The Giants are going to be playing a team that has a real defense.

I say San Francisco over the Giants.

I sure hope so.

The Giants, overall this season, may not have been one that could be seen taking on SF's 13-3 record, but they have really improved over the last few weeks. I still give it to the 49ers next week.

Right now, it looks like the team to beat is the Pats since the two teams which were probably better, New Orleans and Green Bay, are out of contention. It's probably New England's season to lose at this point. I would be very careful since the NFC teams remaining have both taken down some great teams.

New England should probably win by a good ten points next week in a fairly high scoring game and SF by less than a touchdown in a low scoring game.

I predict 21-27 BAL-NE.

That sounds about right, maybe a tad bit more for Brady. ;)

The SF-NY game could be 17-14, if even that, with D dominating the day on both sides.

I think he won't have trouble scoring (same pts/min of ball possession as this week), but the Ravens will eat up a lot more clock than Denver did.

I actually think the time of possession will be almost 37±3min for BAL and only 23±3min for NE, especially if NE plays in no-huddle style from the game opening, as they did against DEN.
 
I don't see anyone beating the Patriots though.

I'm not so sure. The Ravens defense is going to make Brady earn every inch. I actually think they'll pull off an upset.

I don't know. The Giants have been playing great football the last few weeks. I think that the Giants beat San Francisco next week.

They've been on a roll, but they also lost during the regular season against SF.

No matter who wins, it is going to be a great game to watch though.
 
Interesting concept. Brother against brother.

They played once already this past season. They called it the Harbaugh bowl :) I'd love to see a round two. It'd be pretty epic. :) Either that, or a Giants vs Pats rematch.

I'm a Ravens fan but next week is gonna be tough. I know Tebow and the Broncos aren't that great but the way Brady and company dominated that game... who wouldn't be worried?

Wow, what the heck, Packers ?

That was one of the saddest performances since Favre left GB. Totally lame.
I'm very disappointed. The Pack got fat and lazy during the bye week.

The Baltimore D creates a lot of turnovers. If they can do that against NE, they can win the game. Baltimore scored most of their points today off of turnovers. The last time they played NE in the playoffs a few years ago, they won 34-14. I think the Pats were down 24-0 in the 1st quarter and NE turned the ball over 4 times. Flacco was 4-10 for only 34yds!! But the Ravens rushed for 200+ yds while holding NE under 200 yds. Next Sunday could be an extremely tough game for NE.
