    Default 49ers @ Falcons

    Did you know it's been 15 years since a #1 seed has been the underdog in a Conference Championship game. Seriously, the line on this is unreal. 49ers -5???!?!?!? Not saying I don't think the 49ers are favourites or should win but that line is high and begging to be bet just for the backdoor cover potential of the Falcons.

    On the other hand, I've got my preseason Falcons 12/1 to win the NFC bet to worry about so I certainly won't be doubling down just because the odds look good. In fact, I desperately want to hedge to guarantee some dollas but stupid Bodog won't release their damned moneyline odds!

    Anyways, who are you rooting for/picking?

    I'm picking the '9ers. They have arguably the best OL in football and top 5 DL in the league. They went so deep and lost last year that I believe their attitude is that they refuse be denied.

    The Falcons got booted in the first round the past couple years. All they talked about was not letting it happen again. I personally think last week was their SB. To make matters worse, they barely won last week. Between them getting over that first playoff game hurdle and winning the type of game they did last week, I'm willing to bet that they are emotionally spent.

    I think the 49ers will win this game easily. I dont think Atlants has the tools to stop Kaepernick and dont forget the 49ers defense is pretty darn good too.

    Falcons have a way to make every game so damn complicated and I think this week will be no different. It's just how they do things. Fast start, then get lazy, then decide the game on the last possession.

    I've been a Niners fans since the glory days of the '80s. I can honestly tell you that as Niners fan, I am a lot happier to be playing Atlanta (even on the road) compared to playing the Seahawks at Candlestick (or whatever the field is called now).

    I dont think the Niners will have a big problem beating Atlanta but I dont think it will be a blow out. Kaepernick creates havok with his running, and as mentioned earlier he has one of, if not THE best OL playing in front of him. Atlanta will keep it close but in the end I think the Niners will be off to the Superbowl.

    I look forward to beating New England again this year and holding up the Vince Lombardi trophy.

    I think the 49ers will win. But I'm a betting man. And if youre giving me: the #1 seed, playing at home in one of the toughest places to play, plus they seem to win every game that they shouldn't and all they have to do is not lose by 5 points? And the other team is throwing a qb with 1 game playoff expereince in there? I'm betting the Falcons.

    To open the line at 5 is beyond disrepsect. The Falcons are ready. We have a defense that could stop Kaepernick even though we struggle at times against rushing quarterbacks. We're a zone defense. Green Bay played man all game and got burnt by him because of it. Falcons will spy and do whatever it takes to stop their gimmick offense. The Falcons have the personel on defense to contain Kaepernick. Our corners are capable of sticking any of those receivers one on one if that has to happen.

    They said our team wouldn't come to play last week and would get overpowered. LOL! Really? We have a physical, hard-hitting defense lead by Sean Weatherspoooooooooooooooon. An underrated, no-name defense. WillyMo, Decoud, Nicholas, Babineaux... your average fan probably knows one player on our defense.

    Fast. All 11 men pursue the ball. Hustle. Themes of the defense.

    Except in the 3rd quarter when they always give up their lead to make the game go down to the wire.

    Wow what a game...... Akers misses a 38 yarder, Ryan fumbles on the 49ers 40 yard line, a weak blow to the head on 3rd and long and the 49ers get a 1st down, now the 49ers fumble on the Falcons 1 yard line.......... WOW........

    That is what happens when the team messes around with leads once too often. Same old Falcons.
