Go Giants!
I was well off the final score but at least I picked winner. As I predicted, out of the NFC came the champion.

Super Bowl Prediction Giants 37 Patriots 24
With the Super Bowl coming up, I can't help but throw my prediction out there with everyone else's. With two east coast teams playing for it all, ratings this year should be very high and commercials will likely underwhelm expectations (I hope I'm wrong on that).
I believed before the NFC and AFC championships that the winner of the NFC would also be the winner of the Super Bowl. I still believe that even though I incorrectly predicted the winner (NFC Prediction, AFC Prediction).
I think Brady will spend a lot of time uncomfortable in the pocket and the Patriots won't score 30 points. The Giants defense will come alive and Victor Cruz will have a huge game.

New York Giants 27 at San Francisco 49ers 30
I predict that the San Francisco 49ers will defeat the New York Giants this weekend for the NFC Championship.
I've heard the term "instant classic" thrown around in reference to this game and I agree this should instantly be one of the more memorable playoff games in recent memory. This game should be much better than the AFC game with two teams peaking at the same time.
Each team has a strong defense but I have to give the edge to the 49ers. That opening drive last week when Donte Whitner knocked Pierre Thomas out of the game, caused the fumble, and stopped what looked like an inevitable game opening scoring drive, showed the world this defense was mean. And, in case you're wondering, I think this defense will give some of the same treatment to Brandon Jacobs.
But what about the Giants you say? What about the fact that Eli Manning is playing better now than he ever has? Last week he had a nice time pushing around a Green Bay Packers defense that was pretty pathetic. This week will be different I promise. He'll have a decent game but no way he puts up the numbers (330 yds, 3 TD) like last week. Don't forget the Packers offense had a horrific game.
In summary, I'd look for a low scoring first half, and then a more exciting second half as the defenses begin to wear down. Ultimately, home field advantage will be the deciding difference.
