NFC Championship: Giants (9-7) @ 49ers (13-3)

[underscore]

This will be the 8th meeting in the playoffs between the Giants and 49ers.

- They are 3-3 head-to-head since 2001 overall.
- The Giants are 3-1 ATS while the 49ers are 1-3 in '11.
- ATS: favored the Giants are 3-0 and the 49ers 1-0.
- ATS: underdog the Giants are 0-1 and the 49ers are 0-3.

The 49ers are favored by 2. Who knows what's gonna happen in this one with the weather being total crap and forecasted to remain poor throughout the game. Should be one hell of a game regardless.

Let's go 49ers!

I'm pulling for the niners

 

[The Ron Mexico]

I don't like Eli Manning so I'm pulling for the 49ers in this game.

Giants 24-20

 

[The Ron Mexico]

Stop mocking me GOB.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

G-Men. God hates you Ron.

will be interesting

my dad used to have a theory about how hard it was for a team to travel 3 time zones and win a game...

think it really only applies to college FB though much more than the pros

 

[The Ron Mexico]

God hates you.

I seem to hear that phrase a lot. But when my Mom said it, I thought that was over the line.

I think that theory is a bit antiquated in the present game. The 49ers traveled east this year quite a bit and had a lot of success, only losing to the Ravens.

yeah, again I really think it only applies in college,

and at that only when you're going hard against the flow (a west team traveling all the way to the east coast...like, dunno, Cal traveling to Maryland to play a noon game - 2008)

TD!

 

[vols_fan_68]

Stepped out @ 34 imo

 

[n_huffhines]

Burned Rolle.

Strange year. Huge, athletic TEs are the primary deep threat.

 

[n_huffhines]

Wow. Never gonna understand replay.

 

[The Ron Mexico]

49ers - 7
Mannings' suckfest - 0

 

[emainvol]

Wow. Never gonna understand replay.

There is no way you can say that was clear

49ers playing the run with not much help from the LBs thus far against the Giants effective short passing game.

Thanks, Giants! Turnover on downs.

 

[emainvol]

49ers playing the run with not much help from the LBs thus far against the Giants effective short passing game.

And playing it extremely well

 

[n_huffhines]

Game of inches. Brandon Jacobs has one guy to beat and can't get a yard.

 

[underscore]

What a SFP by the 49ers after the turnover. Almost gave the Giants a gift.

 

[YankeeVol]

Go Giants

 

[underscore]

49ers with no help over the top. The long pass to Cruz was bound to happen.

 

[YankeeVol]

Giants killing it on third down
