NFL Playoffs: The Super Bowl

The "Harbowl"

It's finally here, or should I say just here? Sadly, the NFL only has one game left on the clock, but it looks to be one hell of a match-up.

If you've been following this blog a little bit, you would know I've been a bit of a good luck charm to the Baltimore Ravens. To fill you in, I predicted them to win the Super Bowl before the season started, and have ragged on them ever since. I kept thinking they were too inconsistent, and Joe Flacco wasn't good enough to take the Ravens to the big game. When the playoffs rolled around, I picked them to beat the Colts, but then again, ragged on them to get spanked by Denver, and lose to New England. And oddly enough, they've been the AFC team I've been rooting for all along. It's kind of like my Lions, I want them to win, but deep down you know they're just not.

Luckily for Baltimore, I was wrong, way wrong and I'm loving it.

On the other hand we have San Francisco,  by far my least favorite team in the NFL as a fan. From Jim Harbaugh to Anthony Davis (Can't stand that guy) to the fact that they're just San Francisco. I've never been a fan, but I never doubted their talent. Colin Kaep and the gang have literally everything going for them. Quarterback play? Check. Run game? Check. O-Line? Check. D-Line? Check. Secondary? Check. Kicker? Mehh. But you get the point, they're very talented across the board. 

When Super Bowl Sunday rolls around, and the hype from this "Harbowl", Alex Smith being benched, and Ray Lewis stuff is over with, America's eyes will be glued to the TV, for what I believe will be a great game. With all that said, here is my Super Bowl 47 pick.

Super Bowl Sunday (Sunday February 3, 6:30PM CBS)

San Francisco 49ers - 24

Baltimore Ravens - 27

Who do YOU think will hoist the Lombardi Trophy?

NFL Playoffs: Championship Week Predictions

WOAH! Where did all that scoring come from? If you scored four touchdowns, you lost. After the divisional round I'm now 4-4 (1-3 last week). Crazy to think I would be 6-2 if the games ended 30 seconds earlier, but hey, that's playoff football, you never know what's going to happen any given Sunday. I'm looking for a little redemption this week, so lets get the party started.

NFC Championship Game: San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons (Sun. 3PM Fox)

Very interested in seeing how the Falcons defense can handle the dynamic Colin Kaepernick. After having two poor showings against Cam Newton, I don't anyone in Atlanta is feeling too confident this week. Kaeprnick exposes Atlanta's biggest weakness, stopping the running quarterback who can throw. I don't see a blow out, but I don't see the final score being very close. 49ers win 35-24.

AFC Championship Game: Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots (Sun 6:30PM CBS)

This game is a tough one for me. I don't like to bet against Tom Brady, and with Baltimore playing so well, I don't want to pick against them either. The Ravens are on one hell of a ride, Ray Lewis has inspired them to the point where Joe Flacco actually looks like a super-star! On the other hand, the 'Pats are looking unstoppable, and Brady is money in the playoffs, not to mention he's playing with a chip on his shoulder right now. I see this game being VERY close, New England wins 24-27.

*Side Note: I feel like I'm good luck for Baltimore, I keep betting against them after picking them to win it all at the start of the year, and they keep making me look bad. Even though I'm picking them to lose, I'm pulling for them to win.

For the Ladies.
