PATRIOTS HOST RAVENS [ My Sling-Shot Bet With The 49ers ]
Ravens Are 8-5 on road in postseason, best among teams that have played at least 10 games. QB Joe Flacco is tied with Eli Manning for most road playoff wins at five. In past three games vs. Patriots, Flacco is 1-2 but his stats are outstanding: 77-of-110 (70 percent) for 973 yards with seven TDs vs. two INTs and a 110.9 passer rating.Tom Brady is 17-6 in playoffs and is NFL all-time leader in playoff completions (524). Wes Welker has most career postseason receptions (61) in franchise history and Deion Branch the most receiving yards (836) in franchise playoff history. Ravens are 31-3 when Flacco has 100-plus rating .Torrey Smith has averaged 24.4 yards per catch in four playoff games. Ten of Anquan Boldin’s 11 catches this postseason have gotten first downs. Patriots are 14-3 at home in playoffs, including 4-0 in AFC title games. TE Rob Gronkowski (broken forearm) is out. LB Jerod Mayo led club with 147 tackles in regular season.The 49ers Colin Kaepernick rushed for 181 yards (NFL record for a quarterback) and two TDs in 45-31 division-round win over Green Bay. He has a 98.7 passer rating and is 6-2 as a starter. San Francisco led NFL with nine players selected to Pro Bowl. Michael Crabtree had nine catches for 119 yards and two TDs vs. Packers. Randy Moss has averaged 110.3 receiving yards in last three games vs. Falcons.The 49ers tied for second-fewest giveaways in NFL with 16.
My Prediction: Patriots, 27-24. Look for Ravens to keep it closer than expected and keep the finesse-oriented Patriots offense on its heels, but in the end Brady will find a way..... My Prediction: 49ers, 30-21. Falcons, who are fortunate to get this far after blowing big lead last week against Seattle, won’t be able to contend with 49ers’ multitude of play makers.
