I suppose I should post my predictions to continue demonstrating how wrong I am:
Baltimore over New England
New York over San Francisco
I have no idea about the Giants/9ers game, but I'm rooting for the 49ers, so the Giants pick is the consolation prize. I think the Ravens can play the Pats tough. The Pats haven't often faced such competition; their most comparable matchup was probably their regular season loss to the Steelers. A team with both a good defense and a competent, sustainable offense is a good recipe against the one-sided Patriots. Of course, Flacco and Cam Cameron could still smurf it all up like they both do on occasion, but I like the Ravens to go to the Super Bowl.
Niners
Ravens
Harbaugh Bowl! Won't be too exciting but that's how it works sometimes.

New England and SF to win. The latter game to possibly go to OT.

Well that first game should have gone to OT! Baltimore will be kicking themselves when they look back on this. Really tense battle anyway.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Goddamn Patriots
Yeah, the kicker blew it big time. That should have been an easy field goal to make. Still, a pretty exciting game to watch. Glad I was able to watch the last quarter at least. Especially that back to back interceptions by both teams. Still disappointing that the kicker missed the field goal at the end.
Dammit, Ravens. You always know just how to let people down in terrible ways.
Anyway, goooo 9ers!
Niners gotta pick it up on offense and keep Smith protected some on you guys can do it!
I expected (and wanted) the Giants to win that game, but the way it ended was totally suckish. That fumble by Williams shouldn't have ended the game, the Niners' defense played too well for that. In the end though I'm excited about a Giants/Patriots Super Bowl. I want Eli to make Brady a sad panda again.
SF really dropped the ball in this one. For a team that didn't turn the ball over much at all during the season, a couple costly special teams fumbles did them in!

Or kneed it, as the case may be. smurfing Kyle Williams. I don't know how much more bone-headed you can get than letting the ball hit your knee and then just watching it roll away. I know he didn't think it touched him, but if you're that close you might as well fall on the ball instead of giving up 5-10 more yards.Originally Posted by Del
Between that and Cundiff's shank, there were two awful game finishes.
Can't spell elite without Eli.
Funny how the last game will come down to him and the fella he was compared to, Mr. Brady.
I expect this Super Bowl to be a bit more offensive, but in the end, the Giants D is better then the Pats D and they will pressure Brady just enough to keep him honest. The Giants are playing like a team possessed right now, clicking when they need to, making the third down plays and stopping the opponents on 3rd down as well.
I see it going down to the wire with Eli leading a 2:00 minute drill to win the game after Brady has coolly given his team the lead late: Giants 31-27 in a thriller of a SB.
Take care all.
Who compares Eli Manning with Tom Brady?
