Who Will Prevail?

I just have a feeling about the Saints this year. Drew Brees has been dominant, and they enter the playoffs one hot team. I wouldn't want to draw them as a playoff opponent.
Btw...case of homebrew and a BGO ballcap to the first guy/gal in this thread to correctly pick the winner.

Hate to go chalk, but for a cap and some home brew? Sheeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttt...
(little Clay Davis for ya there)
I'll take the Packers.
EDIT: also, as a side note, what exactly is a guy/gal? Pretty sure I'm a guy, and I have drunk Pommegrannate beer, so...

I would think you're the very definition of a 'guy/gal'. In fact, you should consider changing your username to 'Goalguygal'.
Packers are a good bet. But I think they stumble.

I picked the Packers in the off season, but for the sake of this competition, I am taking the 49ers. It would be nice to see them get their sixth, so bandwagon Steelers fans can shut the **** up about how great they are.
As long as Pittsburgh and New England fall on their face though, I'll be ecstatic. I would actually prefer to see the Lions or Bengals win of all the teams in though, just because I think it would be nice to not see a perpetual powerhouse take it.

I agree with you Boone, I think they end up playing Baltimore in the Super Bowl and beating up that Ravens' defense.
Saints 38
Ravens 24

Packers. Just the way it is. Hope the Giants are none and done.

I'm a little late, but I think Ray Ray gets his 2nd ring this year. Flacco sparkles, Rice & the Ravens' OL dominate, and the D is shut-down. Ravens win it all.

I don't get the infatuation with everyone thinking the Ravens have what it takes to win it this year. The Texans could easily light them up, especially with Johnson back and Foster getting into a rhythm at the right time. The Ravens aren't going anywhere. They will exit the post season 0-1 or 1-1.

Uh,BB, sorry about the Giants thing. They just have a knack for doing this kind of thing once they back into the playoffs.
Weird.
Let's reset now that we know who our 4 contenders are.
It pains me greatly to say it, but I have a feeling the Giants are a team of destiny this year. They are the epitome of 'once you get in, anything can happen'.
Eli Manning is the best QB in the league at this moment. Couple that with a running game, a suddenly impressive defense, and the most underrated head coach in the NFL, and it equals Super Bowl championship.

Going with the hot hand - 49ers.

Sticking with my original guess - the Ravens. Just feel like its their time.
I just have no faith in Joe Flacco. They have a lot of talent - but Flacco? Just can't picture it. Guess we're about to find out.

Giants. Giants/Pats rematch. The home brew makes my mouth water--no one has taken the Pats--but I hate the Pats less than the Giants.
Edit: Screw that, I would walk to your house for even twelve home brews. Let's go Pats!!!!!

I'm going with the Niners. They have the best balance and that defense is nasty. I also think home field advantage for a west coast team hosting an east coast team is not insignificant.
So far, this year, the Giants have won 6 of 9 games on the road, including wins over the Patriots, Cowboys, Jets, and Packers, losing by 7 to the 49ers on the road in week 10. They're playing lights out better now than they were then. They'll be going for their 4th straight road win Sunday.
I like the G-Men's chances
