This game is a complete mismatch IMO. San Fran has a much better D. Although, I've been incredibly impressed by the ravens side since they've been healthy. San Fran has a much better offensive line, which should allow them to run the ball more effectively and give Kap plenty of time. I like the 9ers in this one, I just hope the game is closer than I expect.

P.S. my playoff progno record has been flat out embarrassing this year

I like the 49ers because I think I'll go crazy if I see Ray Lewis praying on the ground again.

I am taking the 49ers as this is their year. Finally ditching Alex Smith was the smartest thing they could of done. Caep is playing so well right now that he wiil givethe Ravens Defense all they can handle. The 49ers Defense is going to smother Flacco and company.

49ers by 7

There are two spots where I'd give the Ravens the edge -- WR and K. Why not at running back with Rice you might ask? Because I have little confidence that the Ravens will stick to it throughout the game (I just can't believe the level of confidence they put in Flacco of all people).

In my opinion, the 49ers have the better defense, offensive line, running game (by committee and philosophy), quarterback and coaching. So I'm taking SanFran as well.

Ravens because I'm a fan and I could use this. Plus Ray Lewis has the power of God and deer antlers behind him.

What a freaking great game.

I can't even imagine what would have happened if the 9ers came back and won after the power outage. Seriously....those with siblings know that the rivalry just would have went through the atmosphere.

Obviously I'm elated that the Ravens won but I'm also ecstatic that the 49ers didn't win after that power outage so we don't have to hear about that as the storyline for years to come. I honestly think that game plays out similarly whether the power goes out or not. I honestly think it wasn't a factor. We'll never know of course, but I'm glad we don't have to know because that would have been the predominant storyline and it would have detracted from a great comeback by a fantastic 49ers team.
