NFL Conference Championship 1-20-2013

The Ravens play the Patriots in a heated Foxborough battle. And, the 49ers will be visitng the Falcon's nest in Atlanta. Will this be Ray Lewis' last weekend playing football? Or, will Tom Brady lead the troops to their Super Bowl destiny? One thing is for sure. There is plenty of great football coming. My prediction is that the Ravens will beat the Patriots 32-21. The Ravens will have to be stellar on defense and special teams. Ray Lewis and company must shake up Brady to make him uncomfortable all game. I believe that the Pats "d" will come out softer than they have in the playoffs. The Falcons will take it to San Francisco 28-14. Colin will not have the composure to handle a raucous Georgia Dome. Matty Ice is borderline unbelievable at home. Atlanta has all the motivation in the world to not look bad after limping into the NFC championship last week with a very poor performance. Roddy White and Julio Jones will be all over the field. Matt Ryan will just toss it up and let them do the rest of the work. I also believe that a big reason that the 49ers will lose is their inability to run the ball at running back. Ball possession issues will be their downfall. Enjoy the game and, let's get ready for the big game. Paul E. Spors
