It's a little hard to make these picks since I thought the Packers would still be an option. Oh well, I guess it's time to think about free agency, the draft and Super Bowl parties where the game is the least important thing about them.
Baltimore at New England
Does anyone outside of Baltimore really want the Ravens to win this game? Even people who hate the Patriots know that the Patriots in the Super Bowl makes it an interesting game. The Ravens in the Super Bowl makes it a sideshow for the media, the halftime show and Aunt Jenny's fabulous jalapeno dip.
The Ravens strategy seems to be to keep Tom Brady off of the field by running the ball. I've never understood how this strategy is really supposed to work against quick strike offenses. I don't think it can, so I'm picking
New England, for America.
New York at San Francisco
Now here's the game.
San Francisco showed some surprising panache against the Saints and New York showed some typical toughness against the Packers. Remind me again why it seems like people call for Tom Coughlin's job every year?
Anyway, I don't know what to think about the Giants. Both the Falcons and the Packers played utterly crappy against them. Maybe the Giants are just lucky. Then again, I do think Eli Manning is a playoff god.
The 49ers really impressed me last weekend. They got into a shootout against Drew Brees and won. That's amazing. Maybe this is their magical year. I believe in magic, so I'll go with San Francisco.More »^ Less
