NFC -- 3:00 PM
(3) San Francisco 49ers vs. (1) Atlanta Falcons
Falcons by 3
Pick: 49ers Spread Pick: 49ers
Reasons: This game baffles me. Neither team really sticks out to me because both have been inconsistent The 49ers lost to the Seahawks (big) but beat the Packers? The Falcons should have lost last week and have really been skating by all season. But the bottom line is that they didn't lose. Should doesn't count. But I'm concerned because of how well Russell Wilson did aganist the Atlanta defense. Kaep is better than him (perhaps...). Atlanta better have a solution. However, I don't think they do. My gut tells me to pick the 49ers, but I also believe it could go either way. I haven't believed in the Falcons all year -- why start now?
AFC -- 6:30 PM
(4) Baltimore Ravens vs. (2) New England Patriots
Patriots by 9.5
Pick: Ravens Spread Pick: Ravens
Reasons: Does the phrase 'Team of Destiny' mean anything to you? It should. Teams such as the Giants (both recent years) and the Packers are notable for their own improbable 'team of destiny' runs through the playoffs and to the Super Bowl. Here's the deal -- the Ravens beat the Patriots in week 3, in an emotional win and with a great field goal. They should have won this game last year (and yes, it is exactly the same game as last year, for those of you who don't remember). It'll be an amazing game, but after last week can anything stand in the way of the Ravens? I don't think so.
