League   I went to the Denver vs Raider game and one could define it as "The Peyton Manning Show" The man is and was playing the best quarterbacking of his life right now. Think about it.

I completely agree with you, but he's going up against his achilles heel. Rivers + SD has always given him trouble. Also do me a favor, dig up Peyton's record in the playoffs against 3-4 defenses and tell me what it is.

Chargers ML down to +335. Has dropped 35 cents in 2 days.

I do not wish to argue with you League. I know I am right in what I say and you are right with your stats. The game is played on the field. The Broncos have a FIELD GENERAL named Manning is all I know. I really like him and Denver in this spot. Call me simpleton. BOL with your wager.

Sometimes you must know a man on the inside and understand that he relishes an opportunity to rectify a situation in his life. Will he let his team down in this one or will he right the ship? You would like to doubt him and put your faith in Philip Rivers? Really.......really?

San Francisco 49ers @ Carolina Panthers

In NFL history it has been almost non-existant for a team to reach the conference championship game 3 years in a row. 


While I kinda like the Panthers myself at the moment, let's take a look at that non existent theory you have.

NFC Championship Game Appearances Consecutive 

Cowboys 71-74 4x

Rams 75-77 3x

Cowboys 81-83 3x

49ers 89-91 3x

49ers 93-95 3x

Cowboys 93-96 4x

Packers 96-98 3x

Eagles 02-05 4x

49ers 12,13 ?

AFC Championship Game Appearance Consecutive

Dolphins 72-74 3x

Raiders 74-78 5x

Steelers 75-77 3x

Bills 92-94 4x

Patriots 12,13 ? 

The lion and the tiger may be more powerful, but the wolf doesn't perform in the circus.

This team is physically running on fumes, they were lucky to escape against GB's porous defense, but will face a much stiffer test this week. As much of a physical team SF is, they actually lost the battle in the trenches last weekend. Frank Gore only averaged 3.3 yards per carry. It was the legs of Kap that saved the day. The Panthers have a front 7 that is far better than GB's. They sacked Kap 6 times in the last matchup, and contained his scrambling abilities very well. I also love the spot CAR is in this weekend. They are the lone team in the playoffs left that noone has given a shot to win it all. Hell, when was the last time there's been a home underdog in the divisional round? They already beat SF once yet are home underdogs off a bye week, they are being completely disrespected. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Panthers won by 10 here.

San Diego Chargers @ Denver Broncos

Last year Peyton took his 13-3 best record in the league broncos to the playoffs only to get ousted by the ravens in the first round. This year, he again not only led his team to a phenomenal regular season record, but breaks Drew Brees single season total yardarge record and Tom Brady's single season TD record all in the same season. Statistically, he also has one of the best offenses in NFL history. Now he goes up against a 9-7 charger team at home. Peyton has never needed to win a playoff game more than he does now. A QB with 8 one and done playoff trips who is already looked at as a choker now has more pressure on him than ever before. Rivers owns Manning head2head and is playing with absolutely nothing to lose as he wasn't even supposed to get into the big dance in the first place. If your holding a Broncos future ticket, might as well rip it up now. Rivers is not losing this game.

  • Panthers ML
  • Chargers +10

Playoff YTD: 2-0-1

I am also playing the Chargers ML but won't count it in my record.

i would. oh and while you were on the gb game you forgot to mention the cold conditions which effected both teams but also how good of a job the niners de did against gbs offense who have a great qb and great wr's.  While we are on offenses carolinas is terrible plus the fact that their best wr is banged up.  This will be a close game sf wins 23-16

RIVERS to the bank.  In any sport you have to peak at the perfect time i don't care if it is football, hockey, baseball whatever you gain confidence and you think nobody is going to beat us.  THAT WOULD BE THE SAN DIEGO CHARGERS RIGHT NOW.

Also the Panthers have been dominant at home this year, only loss I believe was against the Seahawks by 5 in a game that was lost on the final drive. The 49ers have beaten all crap teams on the road this year:

Rams, Titans, Jaguars, Redskins, Bucs.

They beat the Cardinals and Packers but both games only by 3. I understand all the love on SF this weekend, really I do. But I think they'll get spanked.

They may lose, but get spanked?  Have you watched football for the last 3 years?  The only 2 games the Niners got spanked in recent memory were both at Seattle (and maybe that Indy game this year but they were beaten and had hit rock bottom, which for them is a 2 game losing streak lol).  Other than that they've lost by 1 to the Panthers, and by 3 to the Saints on the road, a game which they refs stole from them.  And to say they've only beaten bad teams on the road, at least they didn't lose those games...and then you go on to mention the Cards and Pack, both great teams, and that they only won by 3, because, you know, it don't count unless you win BIG.  But going back to last year, they beat ATL, NO, GB, and NE, all on the road.  And the Titans were a borderline playoff team this year, and the Rams are always tough (almost beat Seattle at Stl).  

So, point is that yes Carolina has been tough at home, but the Niners are road warriors themselves, and have won in tougher environments on the road.  If its a blowout i think the Niners will be the team winning...their team is better equipped and more likely to make a comeback if they get down big - see NFC championship and Super Bowl games from last year...

The statement I will make is way off subject but a few years ago the Colorado Rockies won the National League Pennant. They steam rolled into The World Series. I bought the fact that no one could stop them. Then they played Boston in The World Series. Unfortunately, I lost money

This is SFR's third consecutive road game and the Panthers are coming off of a bye. There has to be some built in advantage for the Panthers in this situation. If we do have SFR at SEA next week, it will be their fourth consecutive road game against a pretty well rested SEAHAWKS team. It's doable, but it's a tough road.

But "NONODY" has it better than the 49ers! I don't think it matters who they play or where they are a fine bunch of men on a mission.

LC, do you know the record on teams scoring 40+ in playoffs for their following game.  Seems like it was 2 or 3 wins to 20+ losses ATS. If you like those type trends, NE should be a play.

Correct, 3-20 ats I believe. I think Belichick is something like 8-0 or 7-1 in the playoffs against a team he didn't see in the regular season. I feel like the Pats are the right play, just don't feel comfortable enough to lay 7. Will be adding a play on Sea/NO game shortly.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Panthers won by 10 here.

The Niners are the right side and I'll tell you why. 
Yes, the Panthers did beat the Niners in SF no less, but that was a different team at that point in the season. 
For starters Kap had nobody to throw the ball to. He lost Vernon Davis early in the game and of course no Crabtree. 
Kap looked terrible early on in the year, and understandably so. 
But they were also missing another key player that nobody mentions, Aldon Smith. 
He's an important player especially against a guy like Newton who isn't a great throwing QB. 
He's shown time and time again that when pressured he does tend to make terrible throws. 

As far as the Panthers offense goes, they only compiled 250 yards of total offense that game, very unimpressive. 
Newton stunk in that game, 16 for 32 with 1 INT and 0 TD's. 
And now he loses Steve Smith, his biggest playmaker and you expect him to play better this time???
Who in the world will he throw to?
This will be an ugly game no doubt, but you're backing the wrong side here man. 
I just don't see how the Panthers score more than 13 in this game. 

Personally I absolutely LOVE the under in this game. 
Carolina defense should be able to slow down the Niners but I see a 23-10 SF win. 

Good luck either way.

That was on the road though, Newton is far better at home. Plus he won't need Smith to be effective, the Packers just ran for 110 yards on 26 carries on them. Much better than the 49ers have averaged giving up this year. Panthers will be able to pick up first downs on the ground and play ball control.

Against NO just a few weeks ago they had 222 yards of total offense. 
And the saints defense is terrible on the road. 
Cam threw for under 200 yards with 1 pick and one TD. 
I look at the panthers games they've won at home this year and they did beat up on some very average teams. 
Yes, they did beat NE and I give them credit for that very nice win. 
But even then they only amassed 300 yards. Against the Patriots thats not very impressive. 

I think those home numbers are incredibly inflated by the beatdowns they put on bad teams like the Rams, Jets, Vikings, Buccaners, falcons and so on. 
But take a look at their offensive outputs against better defensive teams and you'll see completely different story.
