49ers!

Uhuh, and the niners weren't given a chance against the Saints either.

How'd you like that one Terry Bradshaw ya bum

RAVENS WIN AGAIN. The path to the Superbowl is now clear. Giants beat San Francisco because manning makes the difference .. Ravens beat Patrits because their defense will produce turnovers,Rice will dominate on the ground,Flacco will protect the ball and not make mistake-the usual formula for a ravens win.

It will be a raven-giant Superbowl. The Superbowl is too close to call until we see if there are big injuries on either team next week.

Giants are peaking right now and on all fronts from defense, run,special teams. Of course add in Manning and that should do it. NO was one dimensional-qb.

I think SF is an excellent team a nd could win. I just don't think they will.

I'll be happy to take a "Baltimore wins the Superbowl" bet down to the sports book for you, if you're so sure. Just make it a good-sized bet. I don't want to stand in line over chump change.


PS -- Baltimore is currently 6/1, New England is currently 6/5. What does THAT tell you?

I said bmore will be IN Superbowl -not win it. A giants/ravens Superbowl is a "pickum" as to who will win.

Here is why ravens will beat pats. Brady is as immobile as they come. He lives off short passes towards the middle where his receivers gain many yards after catch. Ravens have Lewis in the middle who will limit yards gained after catch severely. Brady will have to throw deep more often than usual which will allow Nat a and suggs to apply great pressure with Reed and Webb waiting to pick off those long but rushed passes.

I assume a big game from Rice. Rice will give rvens many first downs and burn clock keeping the ball out of Brady's hands more than bellicheck would like. Assuming a big game from rice is entirely reasonable because rice led the entire NFL this year in yards from scrimmage.

I picked Niners and am leading the playoffs pool at work. Did not foresee the ginormous Giants blowout, but, doesn't look like many cubemates did, either.

You were saying?


It wasn't pretty, but the better team won. Maybe next year, Baltimore....

Another good 4-quarters game ! I hope the G-men go under ...

Go Jints

Giants are Super!!!

Giants are Super!!!

I hope the Giants gave Kyle Williams the MVP award.


Unfortunately for Williams, Bill Buckner just found some company in the "Blew It Hall of Fame." And Buckner only screwed up ONE play.



A repeat of 2007. Interesting. Unfortunately, the Patriots aren't as good as they were in '07. And the '11 Giants are better then they were in '07. It will be an interesting game, I'm sure.

Unlike previous weeks, I'm not volunteering to run bets down to the Sports Book for this one.

That was a heart breaker in SF. The stadium was rocking again and it was a very entertaining game. Williams made two big mistakes, but the offense only converted one third down. Our receivers couldn't get open. So there were several things that contributed to losing, not to mention Manning and Cruz. The Niners had a great year and have something to build on. Congrats to the Giants.

 

[carl2591]

that was heart breaker for sure.. I was pulling for the niners and ravens. pat and giants will be low scoring boring game at best.. niners and ravens would be a score filled game with lots of fantastic catches and great runs.

too bad the pass in endzone was not held on to.. what a crock.

and the field goal to win pulled so far to the left it was not funny in the ravens game.. give me a break.. pat and giants won on dumb luck. :annoyed:

anywho superbowl around the bend..

 

[pedro47]

The Giants any day over New England !!!

You're saying that Tom and the boys couldn't make a scoring drive their first attempt? I don't think so. And there was enough juice in the defense to hold the line if they lost the toss.

Like I said, it was an ugly win. But a W's a W.

Huh?? Niners and Ravens would be a score filled game? 2 excellent defenses against 2 subpar offenses. That game would probably end 6-3.

The Pats and Giants will be the score filled game. Eli will have a field day against the NE secondary and the Pats can score on anybody. Statistically the Giants defense has been below average this year, but they're defensive line is finally all healthy and they're peaking right now.

The Giants didn't win on dumb luck. Yes the fumbled punts were lucky, but the Giants didn't turn the ball over in almost 5 quarters of play in sloppy conditions against the best takeaway team in the NFL this year. Their defense didn't allow one 3rd down conversion all game. That's not dumb luck!

Go Giants!!!

The niners have a great future! Harbough is the real deal! They will own their division for many years to come.

Well Said- Go Eli

 

[carl2591]

so what the bet... giants by 3?? by 7?

official? line is 4/1 pats..

not sure what all that mean but seem to favor pats to win or loose by a small margin.

Hopefully little brother will feel "at home" at big brother's house.

oh that's a big 10-4. We are quite ready to welcome Eli and company!

I can't speak for all of us, but mostly, we hate the Patriots and Coach BellyCheat. The more we see Brady on his butt, the happier we get.

I haven't decided my pick in the pool, as I will be betting against the other guy because that is the only way I can win. It is down to just the two of us, winner take all (unless we tie, which is possible, and we split the pool) exciting!!

Even more exciting, SuperBowl Village opens this weekend and my first shift in the NFL experience is Friday, opening night. I'm really excited to go get my gear and get in there to check it out!

Any tuggers coming to the game?? If so, you can be certain to get a very warm Hoosier welcome regardless of which team you support.
