The two road teams pulled off dramatic victories to advance to the Super Bowl as the Baltimore Ravens will face the San Francisco 49ers for the Lombardi Trophy. The 49ers enter the game as favorites having opened -5 but the public has already bet the line down to -4 in most places. Players likely to see an upgrade based on performance in the Conference Championship games include Joe Flacco, Julio Jones, Vernon Davis, Tony Gonzalez, Dennis Pitta, Haloti Ngata, Bernard Pollard, and Alfonzo ...

An amazing weekend of football in the Divisional Round has led to the 49ers at Falcons for the NFC Championship and Ravens at Patriots for the AFC Championship. The 49ers are the road favorites and the Patriots, even with the loss of Rob Gronkowski for the rest of the season, are heavily favored.
