Conference Championship weekend is here. Let's get to it.

San Francisco -4.5 @ Atlanta 3pm Fox

mlz: San Francisco
Lock Alert! I can't really think of a way Atlanta keeps this close. They need to have a handful of huge plays from Roddy White and/or Julio Jones. Even then I'm not sure it would be enough to best the 49ers. SF 42-14.

I think the receiver and quarterback talent on the Falcons will go a long way. The game will be similar to the 49ers-Saints game in the Divisional Round last season. The 49ers will win the game, but to me it feels like they are looking past the Falcons. 34-31 49ers.

New England -8 vs Baltimore 6:30pm CBS      

mlz: Baltimore

I feel like these lines should be flip flopped. The Ravens and Pats do nothin but play close games. The Ravens are playing inspired football and believe they can win this game Sunday. It's going to come down to the last minute on Sunday night. Therefore the Ravens should cover and may even win. Patriots 24-21.

Lock Alert! Who is Vegas shitting with this line? The Ravens and Patriots have played each other 7 times since 2009, one game has been decided by more than 3 points; The 2010 Wildcard game. That being said, I hate this game as a Patriots fan. Especially after the atrocious officiating last week leading the Texans to almost cover. The NFL loves a good story. And what better story than the Harbaugh Brothers and Ray Lewis's final game? Yuck. At least there is an element of the 49ers-Patriots rematch right? Regardless, take the points. New England 28-24.
