49ers @ Falcons- I would like to see San Fran win this. San Fran has tough defense, exciting offensive players and a couple of Buckeyes making solid contributions. However, the cross country trip to Atlanta, and the possibility that 49er's QB will not be consistently superb 2 straight playoff games, has me thinking Atlanta wins the game.
Baltimore @ Patriots- Patriots will win. I won't be watching. I have zero interest in either of these 2 teams.
Super Bowl will be Falcons vs Patriots. I would rather watch 49ers vs Patriots.
Any of these matchups has me sick. Gotta pull for the niners I guess since I can't root for anyone else...
I would rather it be 49ers vs Ravens.
I'll cheer for the team with the most Buckeyes on it.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
I would say it will the 49ers vs Patriots.
I like the idea of the team with the most Buckeyes though!!!
Falcons and the Pats.
I think it's gonna be niners vs Patriots. Falcons could certainly get in also but the way CK is playing I like San Fran's chances.
49ers and Patriots. San Francisco has a great defense and Kaepernick provides a spark to that offense. The Patriots have an incredible offense, and that defense does just enough.
GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cross-country flight is slightly concerning, as is the crowd noise, but I think the 49ers have too much for the Falcons to handle, on both sides of the ball. San Fran will do what it wants against Atlanta's D and will get enough stops with their own D. 49ers
Hard to pick against the Pats at home, but I didn't give the Ravens much of a chance in Denver either. I think the Ravens win one more for Ray, get revenge for last year's loss, and set up the most annoyingly over-hyped pre-Super Bowl story ever: the Harbowl. Ravens
Dirty Birds!!!!! RISE UP
vs.
Patriots
with my falcons hopefully winning it
I live in Georgia as well. RISE UP!!!
Not J.J. Watt. Lmao, I couldn't resist. I just never liked him even from his Wisconsin days.
Ohio State's band SLAUGHTERED Michigan's band. If this were a football game, it would have been Florida State vs. Savannah State. - SB Nation following OSU vs. UM 2012
Really happy to see P.Carroll and the Seahawks knocked out of it. Hadn't seen much of the Falcons this year, but they looked very beatable today. Think the Niners will have their way with them.
Pats should have no trouble with the Ravens.
Pats v Niners should be a great game. But, I can't root for a Harbaugh and can't root for Brady either. Pass the beer nuts.
The Falcons have looked beatable all year.

Falcons - with the thought that the Browns could have had Julio Jones with the pick they traded (and later used to take Weeden)
Instead they got Phil Taylor, Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden out of it. I'll take that.
From what I recall (and just checkd out), we traded the #6 pick to Atlanta, who took Jones for 2 first round picks, a 2, and 2 fours. We then traded up to take Taylor with #21 (gave up a 3).
Next year (2012), we take Richardson with our "1 and Weeden with the Falcon's #1.

I'd take Jones over Weeden and Taylor, even though it's the former that really hurt
We used part of those picks acquired to trade up and get Richardson. So yes, from Julio Jones alone the Browns got Richardson, Weeden and Taylor. Advantage Browns.

Niners vs. Pats.
Those Falcons looked vulnerable today, and last time I checked, that Colin Kaepernick was quite the playmaker. I think a SF-Baltimore Super Bowl would be intriguing, though, as it pits the brothers Harbaugh against each other in a rematch that ended ugly last time but may turn the other way this contest :)

Colin Kaepernick is too inconsistent to bet on him to beat the falcons. The Falcons secondary is too strong for him IMO. As long as the Falcons play like they did in the first half yesterday, they will cruise to a Super Bowl victory. They always find a way to win. That's how it's been since Matt Ryan arrived in Hotlanta.
49ers & Patriots - I hope (LOL)
NE and SF...who I predicted at the beginning of the year...even though I really don't care about tNFL.

I'm hoping my PATS!!!!!! Remember guys...our defensive line coach won 3 super bowls (used in recruiting the next great buckeyes) with NE. So you should all root for New England. Thanks for the support guys.
I don't honestly care who plays, as long as I don't have to see a Baltimore/San Fran matchup. Can you imagine the hype that the "Harbaugh v. Harbaugh" Super Bowl would get from the various media outlets? It would be inescapable.
I think that Jim is a good coach, but I'm completely exhausted by the hype that he received last year. I can stomach--if not respect--John; he's a quiet dude who flies under the radar and gets the job done, even if he's doing it at my Bengals' expense.
That said, I'm thinking the Fighting Kaepernick's run into Brady's Championship-Starved-No-Huddlin'-Buzzsaw this year, and the results won't be pretty.
Harbaugh vs Harbaugh Super Bowl, does Tom Crean get face time for being the brother-in-law? I would hate to see Crean up in the stands wearing a half Baltimore/half San Fran Jersey (Ala Brady Quinn's sister) soaking up free publicity. If so, me no likey.
Seeing Crean's haircut twice a year is enough.
49er's and the Patriots in a high scoring Super Bowl.. From there I'll guess the 49er's to win it all but I think it'll be a close game.
niners pats.... and i like the niners to take it
mark may wins douchebag of the year... again
New England\Atlanta. As much as I'd love to see Ray Lewis get a farewell, he and Ed Turnover look like there is nothing left in the tank-at least not enough to stop Brady. CK is due for a stinker and Atlanta has a pretty quick D. Not overly big, so SF can fall back on its aresenal of Wham\ISO plays if the read option isn't there but I'd be willing to bet Kaepernick has to prove he can throw more this weekend.
New England is going to blow Atlanta out of the water, however. Cementing Tom Brady as one of the true NFL greats (As if that cement needed to be hardened any more).
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
Tom Brady losing 3 straight SBs? I'm down with that.
