This is one of the best posts on this board so far... and I agree 100%. I actually predict the line will move back up to -4, -4.5 come gameday. Either way, the Niners lineplay is superior to any of the defenses Flacco has faced. The Niners D-Line will force Flacco ino his 1st & 2nd turn overs of the post season... The Niners will win by at least 4 because their offense with Rookie QB is plenty good..and even faster on TURF. Flacco wont have as much time to throw those deep bombs and no way Ngata will be quick enough to take down Kaepernick on the turf. Vernon Davis has a BIG day as Balt is susceptible to good tight ends.
I like the Niners 28-21 Quote Originally Posted by Ice4Blood:

Superman would have had to make a heroic effort to catch that ball OUT OF BOUNDS... let alone in bounds... nonexistent PI penalty directly leads to 7 points 2) 3 plays later, defender mugs the Decker (i believe) clearly holding both arms down before the ball arrives... ball gets knocked into the air and results in a pick 6... the refs who missed that call should NEVER be allowed to officiate a playoff game again... that was a TERRIBLE missed call, and it DRAMATICALLY effected the outcome of the football game... dispute this at the risk of labelling yourself either extremely biased, or extremely stupid!... 7 more points! 3) desparate lob at the end of the first half in which Champ Bailey (also victim of the first bomb) plays some of the worst defense i've ever seen (but wait... the worst is yet to come)... 7 more points! it was only about a 35 yard pass, so not the most improbable play of all time (stay tuned)... 4) the most improbably play of all time!!! needing 7 points just to get into OT, the Ravens pull off the miracle of all miracles, thanks to what is without question the single-worst defensive meltdown in the history of the NFL playoffs... moral of the story: are people really RELYING on the fact that the plethora of defensive meltdowns that have taken place during these 3 games, in which the Ravens have exploded in yardage and points, compared to how they have performed historically (including this entire season)... are going to be repeated by the 49ers, who have 2 weeks to look at all of that game film... ? long bombs are not exactly a very complicated play to gameplan for, and if a team with a good coach and a defense that puts pressure on the QB, puts together a gameplan that is designed to TAKE ADVANTAGE of the fact that they know you are going to be RELYING on that to win... that can get ugly in a real hurry! you guys really think Flacco can be counted upon in this situation? |

At first glance I was leaning ATL +4.5 at home due to it being a conference championship home game and because SF has given up over 27pts a game since week 10 on the road....AND Atlanta has only given up an average of 13.5 points at home since week 10....
THEN I looked at all of Atlanta's opponents since week 10... New Orleans twice, Arizona, Tampa Bay twice, Carolina, NYG, & Detroit. Of those teams not one of them had a legit defense for 2012 ( except for maybe Arizona )... They barely beat Oakland, Carolina, Dallas & Arizona at home... by a combined 16 POINTS!! There is an absolute REASON why Vegas has not favored a road team by 4.5 points in over a decade! SF wins by a Touchdown.... and thats after Matt Ryan comes from behind to score one late. SF 31 ATL 24 ------------------------------------------ On a side note, its proven that Flacco can play on the road in the playoffs..even against NE. I don't think it happens this time around - especially after the last overtime game on the road and now back to back road games .... too much for Balt to handle. Buy NEW ENGLAND TO -6.5 !!!!!!!! |

Dont take either team in this game - it could go either way. Beanie Wells is back and will be running the offense... if thats even possible. The AZ pass def is too good to let Bradford to anything.... the UNDER looks great in this game as it does in the Pittsburgh and Seattle game. Good Luck all.

This is the absolute perfect spot to take an UNDER bet. If you are a teaser player, even better for you! Looking the same in the Seattle game and the Arizona game.

WSU top receiving threat wont be playing. Word is that he has been dismissed from the team... UCLA has won the last 4 matchups and this will be no different. If you still dont like the line, TEASE it ... UCLA will win this game.
