San Francisco 49ers Vs
Atlanta Falcons
Not
only were The Falcons able to score more than 2 points in last weeks
playoff game, but they actually got the win too! But I still don't
have faith in them, they really wanted to give last weeks game away
to Seattle but really just lucked out by getting just enough time on
the clock to make a couple big plays to get in line to make the game
winning field goal. The 49ers on the other hand had a huge win last
week against The Packers, Colin Kaepernick stepped it up and had a
great game for his playoff debut and the defense also stepped it up
and had a great game and kept the high powered Packers offense in
check. I expect this game to be a high scoring offensive shootout and
even though The Falcons play the duel threat quarterbacks very well,
I still can't pick The Falcons in this matchup. They're notorious
choke artists and until they prove otherwise I think The 49ers will
be able to come into Atlanta and play a great game and if it comes
down to the wire like it did against Seattle, I think The 49ers will
come out on top. Kaepernick probably won't have the stats he did last
week, The Falcons won't get embarrassed, and Matt Ryan does play
great at home, but I'm pretty sure they're going to choke once again.

Baltimore Ravens Vs New
England Patriots
At
the beginning of the season I predicted that The Ravens would win The
Super Bowl and so far they are looking like they could do it! They
are headed to New England where they already beat The Patriots
earlier in the season in a close game. The Ravens at times have
looked like a great team and other times look like they have no idea
what they're doing, but so far in the playoffs they have really
stepped it up, they dominated The Colts in the Wildcard round and had
an insane comeback double overtime win in Denver against one of the
best teams during the regular season. The Patriots have basically
been the same old Patriots, Tom Brady dominates on offense and the
defense just manages to get by. The defense is much better than it
has been in season's past, but they still aren't that impressive.
Ever since Ray Lewis announced he will be retiring after the
playoffs, I had a feeling that would give his team a bit more
motivation and I feel like this matchup will be perfect for them. The
Ravens defense is healthy so they should be on the attack with Tom
Brady and have him running around all day. Joe Flacco has been
lighting up defenses the past two games so he should a field day with
The Patriots secondary, and obviously The Ravens have no problem
playing on the road this season. I was pissed at myself for going
against what I predicted at the beginning of the season and picking
against The Ravens, this week I am sticking by them and I think
they're moving onto The Super Bowl!
