I don't think any of these games will be all that close. Maybe by virtue of garbage time. I see a lot of higher seeded teams that are significantly more talented than their opponents.

 

How exactly are the Niners more talented than the Vikings?

May I ask what positions you think the Vikings are more talented? Cook yah

 

WR/RB/QB/LB/S

Niners better at OL/DL

CB a wash for me, but would be Minny if all players were healthy

Obviously the Niners in general played better this season - but people often underestimate an NFL team in the playoffs because of how they've played instead of how good you think the players actually are. Before this season I would have said the Vikings were SIGNIFICANTLY more talented than the Niners - after it's played out, I think they're about even. But then I've thought the Vikings were among the most talented teams in the NFL for years now.

Having said all that, the short week and being a road game will be too much for them to overcome.

I think we need to consider 2 important factors.

1 - The health of the team right now

2 - Coaching

 

I expect Green Bay to pull away from Seattle because the Seahawks are just too banged up.

Baltimore is the far  better team but if Tennessee can run for 200, who knows.

  • Reid only really makes 1 common mistake and he has to be trailing by more than 7 in the last 6 minutes to repeat it

Give me the Vikings and the 49ers in a close shootout.

  • 7 of the 49ers last 9 games have been decided by 1 score.
  • 6 of the last 8 for Minnesota

Out of 17 regular/postseason meetings between Tennessee and Baltimore since 1999 there have been 8 games decided by 3 points or less. Pretty much means half of the games these two teams have played has been decided by a FG or less.

Mostly the Ray Lewis / McNair eras. Current rosters hold none of those players. It may be close, but I don’t think it will be a 3 point difference. Those old Titan teams were pretty dominant. Shame they never won a Super Bowl because I think they were amongst the best teams to have never won it all.
