2012 NFL Playoffs: Conference Championship Predictions

AFC:
PATRIOTS- 31
Ravens- 27

The Patriots offense was firing on all cylinders in their dismantling of Denver. Baltimore won ugly against Houston, and barely. Brady over Flacco is what it comes down to.


NFC:
Giants-21
49ers- 17

This is a simple case of momentum. The Giants made quick outage of the 15-1 Packers, in a 37-20 rout. They have a fearsome pass rush, and Eli Manning and his receivers are extremely dangerous. I feel that SF does not have the ability to take advantage of the Giants' weak secondary, and loses because of it.

This would set up a Super Bowl of:
Patriots vs. Giants. (Hello,rematch anyone?)
