Predictions of Creative Misfortune - Championship Weekend (2011)

And then there were four...

Sunday Championship Game Predictions:

Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England Patriots by 8. The Patriots won't score 45 against the Ravens, but their offense should put up more points than Baltimore's offense will be able to match.
     Scottie V's Pick: New England Patriots by 4. Is Joe Flacco easy to rattle? Don't necessarily think so, but I do think the Patriots will have too much offense for the Ravens to keep up.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New England Patriots by 7. Patriots by 7, Over/Under 50.
     Best Record Wins Pick: New England Patriots by 3. Patriots better at 14-3.
     Home Team Wins Pick: New England Patriots by 3.


New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 4. San Francisco's defense is even more hard-nosed and stubborn than New York's. I expect the 49ers to win in a close defensive battle. 7-3 is not out of the question, no matter how nice the weather is in California.
     Scottie V's Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 3. All the talk this has been about the Giants and how they've caught fire at just the right time… This Candlestick crowd will absolutely be on fire and the Niners have had a whole season's worth of momentum.
     Vegas Lines Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 3. 49ers by 2.5, Over/Under 42.
     Best Record Wins Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 3. 49ers better at 14-3.
     Home Team Wins Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 3.
