After four exciting Divisional football games last weekend, we enter the Conference Championships on Sunday, to find out who matches up in Super Bowl XLVII down in New Orleans.
Picks:
1) The New England Patriots had the easiest road to victory last week although the Texans kept coming back until the Patriots finally put them away in the fourth. The Baltimore Ravens beat Peyton Manning and the Broncos in Denver in a classic. The game which went to double overtime and the Ravens came out on top due to a couple mistakes by Peyton Manning and a Denver defense that had a dreadful day right down to the end, the d couldn't hold up as the Ravens drove for the tying score after a Broncos knee. This will be a rematch of last years AFC Championship game in which the Ravens should have won. Tom Brady and New England are good but better on offense than defense, Baltimore can hang with you and wear you down. I'll pick the Baltimore Ravens (+8) who I believe are on a mission with the retiring Ray Lewis they also have a fearless quarterback who will have to throw the ball, to Beat the New England Patriots and advance to the Super Bowl. Baltimore Ravens +8
2) The San Francisco 49ers over a good Packer team behind young quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The Atlanta Falcons got a demon off their chest with a win versus the Seahawks, that win almost didn't happen as the Seahawks kept battling back (trailing 20-0, then 27-7 in the fourth) as Atlanta couldn't seal the win until the final buzzer. This will be a grind it out kind of game. The 49ers are playing a very complete game right now, while the Falcons will have to adjust to the aspects of the read option in the 49ers offense and they're not a great tacking team. if the Falcons want to win this game they will have to throw the ball and tackle, the 49ers are a near complete team with a good defense. I'll pick the San Francisco 49ers (-4) over the Atlanta Falcons on the road and in the dome, and go to New Orleans. San Fransisco 49ers -4
