    OK so maybe I had my games and weekend mixed up, but the Falcons are doing to the 49ers what I expected the Packers to do last weekend, exposing our average secondary.

    SF wasn't able to do anything with the interception, if that doesn't give ATL life then I don't know what would...

    I think Ryan is unsure of himself at this point.

    Nah, he's still throwing it all over the field. I've never felt a lack of confidence was a problem for Ryan, he'll be fine

    So all I can think of going into the final play is what happened last week in Denver...

    Deja vu. SF was successfull at doing what the Seahawks almost did last week. ATL can't hold a lead in a playoff game. Good game to watch though...

    Well the final line up is fixed:

    Niners at Falcons

    Ravens at Pats

    As a New England boy, I must say that the Ravens are "surging" and set for an upset of the Pats next week. Well, not really an upset since I really do believe the Ravens are the better team at this point. They're playing a full 60 minutes while N.E. is still fooling around "early" and inviting teams to jump ahead of them, then HOPING that Brady does NOT get intercepted or sacked too many times! NOT a good strategy. N.E. defense is jelling but needs a few more weeks or even another season to peak whereas the Ravens "D" is there already!

    I just don't see how the Brady bunch is going to contain Baltimore and manage to keep the Ravens OFF Tom? Remember, they almost won last year!

    As for Atlanta. Can't see them beating San Fran. Should be a good game.

    My prediction: San Francisco vs. Baltimore.

    Tough one to call, there! Depends on how "high" Baltimore is, if Baltimore is the Giants of THIS YEAR or not? The one thing we can say about the Niners (mostly) is "consistency"!

    In any case. Should be some interesting games on tap for next week!

    cnh

    I hate to say I told "you", I mean "me" so! But I picked them.

    Brady bunch "collapses". Ravens win. Niners take it!

    Got to give Flacco credit where it is "deserved" he did what the great Tom Brady could NOT; win a game under "pressure". Remember when Tom used to be able to do THAT! Been a while?

    My 2 teams won. Not because I like the Ravens, just hate Brady and that coach more. San Fran had a great 4th quarter stand and that game could have easily gone another way. I have to go with San fran in the big show....if they can keep up playing on that level. A storybook team if I ever saw one.

    They will have to keep Flacco off the field to win. He's the Ravens best weapon. If they can force him to throw it before he wants to, keep him under pressure, San Fran will win.

    I understand, nothing wrong with going with your home team. I would expect nothing less. Been a San Fran fanboy since the Joe Montana days. Too bad the guys turned into somewhat of a **** though. Anyway, it should be a good game and down to the wire. Blowouts are just not fun to watch.

    It's Har-Bowl time!

    Once again my Ravens are underdogs, which is just the way we like it. We took out Luck and the Colts, then Manning and the Broncos and exorcised the Billy Cundiff Demons by disposing of the Brady Bunch!

    1 more to our 2nd Superbowl!
    No excuses!

    Everybody is hatin' on the Ravens and we love it.
    Seems the experts making the predictions are just glorified weathermen really.
    16 of 16 took Denver
    13 of 16 took NE
    and i can't wait ot listen too all the excuses as to why the Ravens made it to the big show.
    Which of course they will also win.

    I like Michael O! If that movie they did about him is true,then he deserves to be a champion! I think the Ravens are gonna have their hands full though. San Fran is a team that will continue to pound it out and run right at you till the end. Still I think this will be one of the better matchups in recent memory!!

    I can't agree. As a Pats fan, but no FAN of Belichick, I think any "rational" follower of Pro football would have to admit that the Ravens were the "favored" team against the Patriots. You have to just review the Pats season to see how they can run hot and cold offensively, often fell behind and had some shoddy defense. A good team, but not the Pats that have won SBs.

    On the other hand the Ravens have been surging for quite a while. Anyone would have been "stupid" to bet against them in yesterday's game. It was the Ravens to lose!
    The Ravens look a lot like those "upset" minded Giants that brought a perfect Pats season to an end in the big game.

    And after the Ravens took that game in Denver. It was hard to believe they would lose the AFC championship game. That was a great game! Yesterday's, the worst N.E. game of the year, and there have been some "stinkers" that the Pats barely won this season!

    As to the SB. I really can't call that. If Flacco continues to play "his" new game you've got to think Baltimore. But if San Fran throws him a few curves, who knows.

    I'm going to just sit back and enjoy this one, because to tell you the truth, watching the Pats lose a third SB is not something I wanted to see! And, for me, it's a lot easier to watch two teams you aren't involved with because you have no allegiances you can just enjoy the game without having a heart attack. lol

    you ravens fans have it all wrong, from what i seen on tv the media is showing a lot more coverage on the ravens and making a big deal on the Ray Lewis story...... 9ers looking like the underdog.
