Final 4 time... Seahawks vs. 49ers I'm 51/49 on this one. A lot of me wants to pick Seattle at home (again almost unbeatable there). But, this 49ers team seems to be on some kind of mission and playing their best football at the right time. I think they can and will go in there and pull out a win. 49ers 27 Seattle 24 Broncos vs. Patriots Can't wait to watch this game! Brady vs. Manning. I think the Patriots new found pounding the football will wear down and eventually open up some big plays for Brady in the 4th quarter. I think Manning will have his way with the Patriots defense. But in the end the Patriots and Brady win and Manning doesnt' make it to the big game. Patriots 38 Broncos 31
A side note... Do you think it would make sense to play the Championship games on a neutral field instead of one team having home field advantage, the same as Super Bowl? I dont' think it would be a bad idea. I'm all for having it until this point. But when it gets down to 2 teams in the conference at this point I'd like to see it played heads up with no advantage to one team or the other. Besides there isn't a lot that decides home field throughout the playoffs. Usually a game or record against the other team or something like that. To award home field advantage is like saying one team was that much better than the other during the regular season and deserves a slight edge. Simply not true. In fact a lot of times the opposite. The regular season is a distant memory. Find a neutral field and see who comes out on top.
Seattle edges SF, Patriots stomp Denver. It pains me to say that, because I cant stand Pete Carroll or Bill Belichick.
I am a little bit suprised at the AFC spread. Currenlty Den -4.5. I agree with the NFC line at Seattle -3.5.
I think both games are a toss up but If I had to pick winners I would go with Seattle and Denver. Siman....I think the last time Brady/Manning met in the playoffs Manning was the victor...then he won the Super Bowl. I believe Brady has a 2 to 1 advantage on him though (playoffs)
I'm torn. NFC, I could care less...actually, scratch that. Seahawks get it done (hopefully). AFC is an awesome matchup. I like both teams, and both QBs are so much fun to watch. IF Brady pulls off a W and moves on to get a fourth ring, he will have cemented his legacy as the GOAT, imho.
Not if Brady beats him at home with that roster in shambles... In fact, Manning needs this win to throw his cold weather/playoff choke job reputation. Brady making a 6th Super Bowl w that horrible roster would cement his GOAT rep. Really really really want to see the Broncos and Niners go down. Not sure who wins the games though.
The San Fran Defense looks and plays some darn good football. That team has the formula to win it all.
Your exactly right, if Tom wins with a bunch of scrubs, then hes the GOAT. Hell, if Manning doesnt win by 30, then Tom gets the moral victory. Manning is surrounded by All Pro talent.
