Ravens vs. 49ers
This Super Bowl is one of the more anticipate match ups in recent years because the Harbaugh brothers are facing each other, and this will be Ray Lewis' final game in his career. Both of these teams are similar to each other because they are run first teams with solid quarterbacks and offensive lines, they have outstanding defenses, decent special teams, and great head coaches. This will be a very close game, and it will come down to the last few minutes of regulation. The Ravens will win this game 24-21 with Ray Lewis winning the Super Bowl MVP Award because they will have more explosive plays, they have more experience than the 49ers do, and their passion to send Ray Lewis out on top will be to much for the 49ers to handle.

NFL Playoff Predictions
49ers vs. Falcons
Last week, Matt Ryan was lucky enough to get his first playoff win in his career, after the Seahawks didn't show up to play at all in the first half. This week will be different for the Falcons because they are facing the 49ers, who are the best overall team in the NFC. If the Falcons want to win, their defense has to find away to stop the 49ers from running the read-option. If Colin Kaepernick is able to run the ball similar to how he did last week against the Packers, the 49ers will easily win this game. The 49ers' defense and running game will continue to play well, and they will beat the Falcons 35-27, to secure a berth to the Super Bowl.
Ravens vs. Patriots
This will be the second consecutive season that the Ravens and Patriots meet in the AFC Championship Game. In order for the Ravens to win this year, Joe Flacco will have to continue to play well, and take advantage against the Patriots' weak secondary. Two things that will determined the outcome of this game will be time of possession and special teams. Whichever team is able to control the time of possession, by running the ball effectively, and being able to get good field possession, by making plays on special teams will win this game. For the second consecutive year this game will come down to the very end, but this year the Ravens will win 24-21.

NFL Playoff Predictions
Ravens vs. Broncos
The Denver Broncos are the best overall team in the NFL and they will show why they are today against the Ravens. These two teams met in Week 15, and it was pretty obvious who was the better team. The Broncos were up 31-3 at the end of the third quarter before the Ravens scored two meaningless touchdowns in the fourth quarter, giving the Broncos only a 34-17 victory. Nothing has significantly changed from the Week 15's matchup and I don't see the Ravens all of a suddenly finding away to be able to beat the Broncos at home. In what will be Ray Lewis' final football game in his career, the Denver Broncos will win 28-17.
Packers vs. 49ers
These two teams met in Week 1, but we can throw that game out the window because both of these teams are very different now, than they were in Week 1. Alex Smith is no longer the starting quarterback for the 49ers, and the Packers running game and defense is vastly improved. The biggest key to this game will be San Francisco's All-Pro defensive end Justin Smith. If he is able to play, it will take the 49ers defense to the next level, and Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' offensive line will struggle. With out him, the 49ers defense will have troubles getting to Aaron Rodgers, which will allowing him to find receivers down field.
Colin Kaepernick won't have an easy day either, going up against the Packers' elite cornerback trio. Sam Shields has only allow 21 of 44 passes thrown his way to be completed, and when Shields has been out Tramon Williams and Casey Hayward have played outstanding. Casey Hayward hasn't allow a touchdown reception all year, and when quarterbacks have thrown in his direction they have had a NFL worst 31.1 QB rating.
The 49ers have been a great team in the regular season, but when the game is late can the inexperienced Colin Kaepernick make the throws he needs to or will he make mistakes? I feel the pressure will be to much for the inexperienced quarterback, and the Packers will win 31-30.
