***NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME***

Question

I wanted to start this early to sprinkle my thoughts throughout the week.

Seattle 2-5 against SF last 7; however they put a whooping on the Niners in those 2 wins in Seattle.

If I was a Seattle backer, I'd be really concerned about their offense going into the title game:

Since December 1st (including playoffs) Seattle has averaged:

265.8 YPG
144.2 Passing YPG
16.7 first downs PG

During that same time frame, SF has averaged:

354.6 YPG
226 Passing YPG
20.4 first downs PG

San Francisco is averaging 90 yards per game and 4 more first downs per game. We all know both of these teams can run the ball and have stout run defenses, so passing will be important. Colin Kaepernick since getting a healthy Crabtree back has thrown for 82 YPG more than Wilson in that time.

To be clear, that sample size is 6 games for Seattle and 7 games for SF, including 1 H2H matchup.

Thanks FTB

Sounds like the niners &#x2B;3 is the smart play....... seattle offense is not playing well at all

FritoLay · Answer

Although pretty much shut down a really prolific offense in New Orleans twice in less than a month which is pretty impressive because Drew Brees and the Saints just dont get shut down on offense very often!  Again not impressed with the offensive output of Seattle&#39;s offense.......but sooner or later they going to erupt......will it be this week?  That is the million dollar question because if not niners will cover and win in my opinion!

I can&#x27;t bet a side in this game, it&#x27;s impossible.No way i can bet against the 12th man, and i had 49ers winning the superbowl before the season started. Maybe i can find a total play, i dunno. Whoever wins this game is the champ this year no doubt.

BigNiner, been a fan of yours since I joined Covers. Really pulling for SF to take this SuperBowl. This is going to be a hell of a game.

I honestly don't know which way to go on this game yet, but my gut is screaming Niners.

I do, although, feel that the winner of this NFC championship game is going to be the SuperBowl winner.

MonstarsInYoGrill · Answer

I&#x27;m a mirror image of this post.  Going to be one hell of a game.

&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;This is hilarious!!!! Did we watch the same game?&#xD;&#xA;Total offense:&#xD;&#xA;New Orleans 409 yardsSeattle: 277 Yards&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;So, you allowed over 400 yards of offense, yet you "shut them down?"

The 12th man

BigNiner · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;I don&#x27;t doubt anything you say when it comes to capping my brother. That is the truth. Glad you are killing it man. Keep it up bud.

FritoLay · Answer

Prolific offense..........23-15 final score so yes seattle did a great job of keeping them out of the end zone and won the game but yes as I said it is Drew Brees and very prolific holding them to 22 total points in two games!  Big difference between yards given up and the end result!  So I will give up those yards and take a win every time!  No?

49ers have a slight slight edge here  get the hook 3.5&#xD;&#xA;over in den/pats......go to the bank

refer · Answer

2-5 last 7 is accurate ...... 4-5 last 9 is also accurate ........ 71-16 combined score last 2 in Seattle is also accurate.

If you are going to paint the picture at least paint a complete one.

On another note, glad to see it played out this way with SF and Seattle. This is the way it should be and will be a great game.

BigNiner · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;Not sure why you would laugh at the Seattle HFA. Best advantage in pro sports.

refer · Answer

Personally I have a 1k Seattle to win NFC from before season started. Will probably middle 1/2 of it at 3.5 and hope to hit both.

Already committed to taking a portion of the winnings and go to game next weekend, should be epic time with 3-4 friends.

How am I being deceptive? Please enlighten me.

Please enlighten me.&#xD;&#xA;   [/Quote]Read my first sentence I said 2-5 IS accurate. I just find it interesting that 2-5 last 7 is more relevant that 4-5 last 9. Especially when the 2-5 includes 1 game from a season and no the other game played a month earlier. You are trying to paint this series as if 1 side has dominated over last few years and that just isn&#x27;t the case. If you go back 5 years this has been a very even series hence the 4-5 last 9 (which was just an example I used to make a point). The reality is the teams these 2 are today the last 2 years is much more relevant than 3/4 or 5 years ago. And this series the last 2 years has been dominated by the home teams.
