    Two home wins for me, still won't be surprised if one of the away teams pulls something off

    Can’t see past two home wins here either.

    A Rogers v Mahomes SuperBowl would be a nice story but I think the 49ers will have too much for the Packers overall and will deservedly take their spot in the big game.

    I love what the titans have done the past few weeks but the Chiefs have most of their guys healthy and are coming in to form at exactly the right time. Can’t see the Titans living with them, like the Ravens the Titans are not built to chase a game, a comprehensive win would not surprise me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,446 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    I think the 49ers win big but the other game will be tight I think. Best way to beat the Chiefs is keeping their offense off he field and I think between Henry and Ryan Tannehill they can do that.

    I think I'll go Titans over Chiefs by 3.

    The Chiefs won't get a better chance to win a Super Bowl so they'll find a way to lose (probably thanks to Derrick Henry).

    Having said that, I also thought they were done for after a quarter of last weekend's game and here we are. Chiefs to win by 10.

    The 49ers will be too strong for the Packers in the other game.

    Going for two home wins here as well. After the season the 49ers have had, it's hard to see them dropping this one to the Packers, especially with almost everyone healthy. Just don't think Green Bay have the weapons to trouble the 49ers D at any level.

    Hard to pick against the Titans after what they've achieved in these playoffs but really feel like this could be Andy Reid's time. This run has already been a huge over-achievement for Tennessee no matter what happens and I don't think anyone would begrudge the Chiefs finally getting the trip to the big one.

    Going for a repeat of Super bowl I and KC Vs GB. It's hard to see how Green Bay will win away this weekend but they have managed to sneak the win a lot of times the year against the odds so I think they may just manage this one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,434 ✭✭✭Jolly Red Giant


    Can't see past a Chiefs/49ers SB

    Should be a high-flying game and because of that will probably turn out to be a opening-present-smiley-emoticon.gif

    Titans v Green Bay for me.

    San Francisco vs Tennessee (The boards moderators Bowl)
    Think it will be a KC/Niners superbowl but I'm not all that confident in picking that .The 49ers are clearly the better team but this game is perfect for Rodgers nobody gives them a chance ,he has a chance to reach the superbowl by knocking out his childhood team that passed on him in the draft.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,352 ✭✭✭conor222


    Green Bay vs Tennessee (The Outside Chance of being the Superbowl Bowl)
    Chiefs - obvious bias for myself as a chiefs fan, and I think the Titans are built the way you need to be to beat us. But, I think our defence looks better and the offense is clicking in a way that will force Titans out of their comfort zone of Henry all down every down.
    49ers are the logical choice here, but I kind of like the idea of the Superbowl I matchup. Packers looked better against the Hawks but they are wildly inconsistent this year. 49ers I think, but wouldn't be surprised if the Packers came out hot and kept it a close game.
    Actually, why not, Green Bay in the upset, their line gives Rodgers enough time to nullify the SF passrush and Jimmy G and Kittle cant do enough, they lose on a potentially game winning drive but are stopped.

    AFC Sunday 8.05pm

    Chiefs



    NFC Sunday 11.40pm

    49ers

    2 Home wins for me as well, but I would like to see Packers v Titans in the SB if t'was up to me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,276 ✭✭✭✭StringerBell


    Controversial opinion I'm sure but Rodgers has shown steady (not drastic) decline the last couple of seasons and with little to no excuses left to be made for him this is going to be one of his last shots to get back to the big show and get another ring.

    I can see them making it close but I think the 9ers D and run game will control the day in the end. I think the Chiefs win but it will probably be closer than people might think too. I'd go with the chiefs by less than a score, who knows if the titans can get the run established again and keep machines off the field early we may see a big surprise but for me it will be a Chiefs v 49ers bowl

    Can't see past two home wins. The 49ers should be too strong for the Packers. The Titans pulling off a third surprise victory on the road in as many weeks would be an amazing story but I just can't see it happening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,698 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    San Francisco vs Tennessee (The boards moderators Bowl)
    I picked two home wins in the pool but you never know. I could certainly see it going either way in the NFC championship game and not so much in the AFC because after the chiefs scare last weekend I can't see them doing it again.

    I also picked both home teams, but mainly hoping for two good games. Packers might stay in touch with SF, but if Mahomes does what he did the last day, it's KC in the SB.
    Probably would prefer KC v SF, as they are the two best teams left; Mahomes is great to watch (and is the best QB in the league) and would like to see Jimmy G do well as an ex-Pat.
    But the Titans have been great so far in the playoffs and are a great story. Would like to see Rodgers get another ring (like I did with Payton) to help with his won legacy.

    Been a while since I was this relaxed in the playoffs, not thinking about Pats opponents, and it's been good. Only 3 games left :(

    Chiefs in a blowout

    GB in a close game

    Haven't had a great playoff picks but I can see the thread this weekend being full of complaints of boring games from neutrals, due quite one sided home victories that will both cover the spread.

    As I said in the aftermath of their win last weekend, I don't see the Titans getting 'lucky' for a third time coming up against poor coaching and such a positive game script. I don't mean that to take away from their performances in the playoffs but I see the Chiefs offense scoring plenty of points and I don't think the Titans can come close to matching. Even if the Chiefs mess up in every phase of the game, like last week, and fall behind they have enough ammo to come back again.

    As we saw earlier in the year, the 49ers are a bad match-up for the Packers. Levis has turned into a real home field advantage and as they are the most complete team left in the playoffs, they have some margin for error when it comes to units not playing at their peak. The revenge factor is real for earlier in the season but 49ers are healthier now and with Shanahan, Sherman, Staley, Sanders all having enough experience to not let the young team look past this game. Out of the two this game does have more of a risk of things going the other way, if Rodgers has a god level game or the 49ers have a crazy number of turnovers. In the end the 49ers defense will be too much and after their time in the Browns together Shanahan just loves sticking it to Mike Pettine, putting 30+ on his defense the last two years, one in Lambeau with CJ Beathard as QB.

    chiefs and packers.
    as a packers fan i'm not terribly confident of the win but i just have a feeling that Rodgers is going to have a game considering he has yet to play his best stuff in a championship game but will this be enough. we match up very poorly with the 49ers offence as we're poor against quality tightend and give up the middle quite a bit which seems to be a strong aspect of 49ers game plan with debo samuels so im hoping our d-line gets on top early and force Jimmy G to move around and force a int or turn over. On offence we will have to get our run game going early and go after wetherspoon if his playing.

    Would be very hard to be 100% based on the Titans alone :)

    Vikings and Seahawks let me down last week. I'm going for the Pats expansion team SB, 49ers vs Titans.

    Target the legs, legally of course

    Once he has no engine, force Tannehill to throw

    What would make them worse is that I don't think they are official sponsors of the NFL so they wouldn't be able to use the term Super Bowl.

    Not looking forward to 'big game' ads for the next 2 weeks

    I think it'll be 49ers-KC in the SB based on my votes.

    But I need to beat my missus and it's all or nothing now, so I'm going for

    KC
    Packers

    For my picks.

    Good start, a miscommunication possibly cost them a TD too.

    Not a INT after seeing the replay. The titans might get lucky.

    Yeah if there hadn't been the PI the titans would have a FG at best and now the titans are driving for a TD?
