Harbowl is the media vote and the meathead fan vote.

The best football game from a scheming, coaching, football standpoint is probably SF/NE. Giving Belichick two weeks to scheme against Kaepernick and Harbough two weeks to tinker with his offensive and defensive schemes would be exciting.

I'm going to rooting hard for the Falcons to take down the Niners. I think the Pats are far better matched against the Falcons than the Niners.

No matter who makes it to the Super Bowl I can guarantee we will swamped with b.s. stories for days on end about the game.

Seriously, they should just play it a week after the conference championships.

The Niners will have to lose to the Falcons because the Falcons will not be able to beat the Niners any other way. ;) The Falcons will certainly not be able to "take down" the Niners.

Interesting thought considering the Falcons took down the Seahawks who only a few weeks ago obliterated the 49ers. Guess we'll just have to see. I'll have fun adding to the crowd noise in the Georgia Dome and disrupting Kaepernick.

The feelings of the 49ers are a bit inflated because they beatdown a Packers team with a horrible defense, remember what they did a few weeks ago in Seattle?

The 49ers are a good team, I think Seattle was an even better team and the Falcons beat them. It should be a good matchup and should go either way.

The 49ers are a good team, I think Seattle was an even better team and the Falcons beat them. It should be a good matchup and should go either way.
The Niners are a different team with Justin Smith in the game. He was not in the game against Seattle. They beat Seattle earlier in the season when he was in the game.
