I thought they'd make the playoffs (the niners) but I didn't think they'd play as well as they did against the Saints. I grew up a Bengals fan, so I have terrible memories of 49er Super Bowls in the 80's being gut wrenching and maddeningly exciting. Stupid Joe Montana. Part of me wants to see a NY/NE rematch, because it would be soooo satisfying to watch NE lose to NY again. I would also like to see the Ravens finally get one for their D. It's really sad how badly they've suffered at the QB position. Since 2000 when they won the Super Bowl they've dealt with Elvis Grbac (terrible), Kyle Boller(injured early), Anthony Wright (mediocre QB), Kyle Boller again (major post injury decline), Steve McNair (a troubled man, and past his prime), and now Joe Flacco, who is one of those QBs that goes on streaks where you think he's improving and turning into an A-list QB, but then the bottom falls out and he doesn't have what's needed to go all the way. The Ravens have had consistently good Defense for many many years. In 2000 it was even good enough to win a Super Bowl all by itself. I'd like to see them get there again.

That said, I'll be happy with a NE loss at some point.
