And Then There Were Two

The NFL playoffs have moved to the final stages. The Superbowl will happen on February 3rd. It will be between the AFC champions Baltimore Ravens and the NFC champions San Francisco 49ers.

It will be an interesting match-up between the two teams who finished runners up in their conferences a year ago and now they find themselves motivated to win the Superbowl.

The Ravens are motivated by trying to win one more Championship for Ray Lewis who has announced his retirement. Once he made that announcement it lit a fire under the rest of the team to go on a mission to win the Superbowl.

The 49ers are motivated by a Quarterback change halfway through the season. A quarterback story that has captured the nation. A quarterback who ran for twice as much yardage against the Packers as Adrian Peterson did the week before.

Don't forget the match-up of brother head coaches. That is also a great story.

What is my prediction. San Francisco 35 Ravens 27

And Then There Were Four

Four teams left in the NFL.

I was sorely disappointed in the losses by Denver, how could they let that player get behind them like that. I was also disappointed in the loss by Seattle. They came back from 20 points down only to lose in the last 30 seconds. How could they not stop them, they have a good defense.

Some good games this weekend, and now there is only four teams remaining. In the AFC we have the Baltimore Ravens heading to Gillette stadium to play the New England Patriots. In the NFC it will be the San Francisco 49ers heading to Atlanta to play the Falcons.

Do the Ravens have the desire to win for Ray Lewis' last season?

Are the Brady led Patriots a force to be reckoned with?

Can Kaepernick have another huge came and the 9ers overcome the west to east travel jinx?

Is it finally time for Matty Ice to win one for the Falcons?

Who will it be between these four? Here is who I think will be playing in the Super Bowl.

The New England Patriots versus the San Francisco 49ers. With the Patriots winning the Super Bowl!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Continue following this blog in 2013 and see a different side and perspective on sports. Who would have thought we would be heading into 2013 with some interesting teams playing in the NFL playoffs.

The Vikings in a 6 day rematch with the Packers this time on the frozen tundra of Lambeau.
The Redskins led by two rookies and Seahawks led by Wilson and Lynch should be quite a match-up

The amazing Colts versus the sliding Texans. Will the rookie continue to shine in the playoffs?
Can the Bengals beat the Ravens? Can Flacco be trusted or will Dalton be the QB to shine.

This years NFL season was a spectacular ride with AP coming 9 yards short of mortality. Still his feat is more remarkable considering he was coming off of knee surgery. Never underestimate the power of hard work and dedication in a sport.

Payton Manning showed he still has what it takes and there was a rise in young guns in the league with Wilson, Luck and RGIII leading the way.

The playoffs will prove to be just as exciting. Buckle up for a football ride to the Superbowl.
