Very tasty matchups we have here. I am still shocked, SHOCKED that the Ravens went in to Denver and beat the Broncos. However, after seeing this video, I think I may understand how much motivation the Ravens have:

Ironically, I think the Ravens are the WORST matchup for the Pats. Say what you want about Flacco, he can throw a deep ball and Torrey Smith can catch it. That makes them dangerous against a Pats D that has a big tendency to give up big plays, especially in the playoffs. I think if Baltimore is smart and runs the ball a lot, mixing in some deep throws, they can exact some revenge on last year's game that they should have won but for a dropped TD.

Boy, I thought Seattle was going to pull that game out but in the end they ran out of time and Ryan made some big plays when it mattered. Question is, are the Falcons going to letdown now that they got the playoff monkey off their shoulder? Playing at home will help but boy this 49ers team looks stacked. I don't love the Falcons defense, so it will be on Matty Ice and company to win this game outright. I think they put up points but have no answer for the latest duel QB Mr. Kaepernick.

It looks like a brothers duel to the death in the Super Bowl!
Take care all.
