There are so many stories that could appear depending on who wins these last two games before the Super Bowl. If the Giants it would be a repeat of other Super Bowls. If the 49ers win, they could tie the Steelers with the most Super Bowl victories. If Baltimore wins, they will play in the town that took the Colts from them, and if the Patriots win, than we all know Tom Brady will go down in history as the greatest quarterback we have seen yet.
Baltimore @ New England: One of the league’s top defenses is pitted against one of the league’s top offenses. History has shown that a great defense will always beat a great offense, and usually I would choose the defense to come out on top of this one, but for some reason I can’t justify it. The Ravens have at least two Hall of Famers on their defense right now in Ed Reed and Ray Lewis so we all know that is not their weakness at all. The weakness comes from the offense and mainly Joe Flacco. He’s a good quarterback and shown he can manage and win games, but he is not an elite quarterback who can put the team on his back consistently and pull out a victory. Just like last week Ray Rice will need to have a lot of touches if the Ravens will want to be successful. They do have one thing going for them in that there is an 80% chance of snow in Foxboro that should slow down the multi-headed passing game of New England. Enough has already been said in the media about the Patriots offense they have proved it to be true. Prediction: Ravens 20, Patriots 34
New York @ San Francisco: Rain, mud, and blood are what this one is going to come down to. Whoever can commit the least amount of turnovers in this one will end up winning this one. The Giants rush defense is weaker than it appears and the 49ers offense is the perfect design to exploit this weakness. If they can get the ends of the Giants to get up field on a rush, than they can effectively run the ball and throw in some play action after they get it going. Eli manning is coming off a tremendous game and will look to do the same thing against the 49ers. If New York can stop the pass rush, than they will light up the score board on big plays down the field. I don’t see the Giants having much of a running game so they will be riding on Eli’s arm. This one is almost too close to call. Prediction: Giants 30, 49ers 28.
There it is, the Super Bowl matchup will be a repeat of 2007 where perfection was ended abruptly. Giants vs. Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI
