I'm torn. I don't want the Giants to get another trophy and I don't want Carlos to get a Ring, so I think I'm rooting for the 49ers to get to the SB and the Patriots to make them look bad. Letting Carlos get so close yet not get a ring. Then next year can be the Skins year just to throw it in Carlos's face.

While I understand, and agree, that I don't like our rivals to up us in the hardware category, I think it also speaks about the level of play in the NFC East when a rival team does make it to, or win, the Super Bowl. I would rather play against NFC East teams than the West. Winning that division is like winning the first BCS bowl game. NFC West team "X" Wins the Beef O'Brady's Bowl. WOOooo....

Predictions seem impossibly difficult at this point. I guess I'd like to see the Ravens win.

Giants and Patriots . I hope NY and Baltimore win , can't stand NE or SF . The only good thing about NE winning Sunday is they might make a more exciting SB . As much as I don't like NY , I hope they win Sunday .

Very happy for Alex Smith
Beleaguered, battered and booed for much of his career, - 01.23.12 - SI Vault (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1193912/1/index.htm)
but I don't know that he can do what he did last weekend again this weekend.
if he does pull another one out he'll get a nice contract next year, isn't he unrestrcted next year? he has the size and the tools and defnitley has the brains, maybe now is his time. although as much as i hate to say it i don't think any qb is hotter than eli right now, and he is scary once he gets in the post season. i'm pulling for the 49ers but think the giants will win by about 10.
giants 34 niners 24
as for the pats and ravens i have no idea who will win that one, both teams match up well against each other and i'm not sure who will pull it out. i think this game obviously relys heavily on the ravens d and their abilty to shut down brady. for the ravens to win i think they will have to have a defensive touchdown, otherwise brady and bill make it to another one. i think this will be a close one.
ravens 31 pats 27, w an ed reed pick six

Guess you missed the end of the Houston game when Ed Reed looked like he needed a wheel chair to get off the field. they have been very quiet about his injury, I think it is bigger then advertised. Plus Brady is not going to make the mistakes that TJ did.
Houston basically handed that game to B-more. IMO this is the blow out game with the Pats going to the big dance. The close game will be 49ers/ G-man.

Right now I'm leaning Giants vs. Patriots with Eli getting his 2nd ring

I could live with that. Especially after all the NFC Least talk at the end of the season.
