Home Sweet Home could ride all the way to Indy

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

I certainly think this playoff season could be a first,I don't remember a playoff where every team won at home since #1 to #1 seeds meeting in the Super Bowl
are actually a Rare occurence.

I beleive the Pats will beat Denver and Baltimore's D just too tough for a Rookie QB,I think the Pats CAN beat the Ravens if they can control Rice from dominating.

Green Bay is a bad matchup for the Giants,namely because Rodgers is one of the best,if not the best QB today in quick decision making when throwing the ball and that leaves that game potentially in the hands of the Giants secondary which will not stop that passing game if the front 7 can't get pressure.

San Francisco has been the quietest 13-3 team I have ever seen in NFL History,their defense does not get the recognition it deserves...and just like Denver agaisnt Pittsburgh,everyone is poking fun at Alex Smith and gives the
49ers little to no chance to win at home against New Orleans.

Baltimore at New England - AFC Championship
San Francisco at Green Bay - NFC Championship

That looks about right IMO

and if HFA continues past next weekend and into the next week,it may end up being the Super Bowl that everyone has dreamed of since last April....

New England vs. Green Bay in Indianapolis

That would make the 'SWEET' in Home Sweet Home that much sweeter.

I agree whole-heartedly that the home field advantage was the biggest factor at play this weekend. I think the Steelers and Falcons were better thant their respective opponents, but ultimately lost because of the home field advantage.

There will be no 5 or 6 seeded team making a Cinderella run this year.

That would be shocking. I don't see it happening though. One or two home teams have a very good chance of losing next week. Hopefully our beloved Pats aren't one of them. I've a few thoughts on the Houston vs Baltimore. Houston's gameplan should be simple. Defensively their main focus should be to shut down Ray Rice & make Flacco beat them. We'll know that Flacco @ times can be a Sanchez clone. Offensively they should use the run to set up the pass & protect the ball. This should be a very hard fought game (especially) if Houston's Defense come to play like last week.

One thing to know about the Ravens, they only faced one top 10 offense this season (San Diego) and they got crushed 34-14. I think the Pats can absolute get the Ravens to get into a shoot out and beat them convincingly.

There are no guarantees in the playoffs, but the Pats are in excellent position to get to the Super Bowl. The only team in the playoffs I was scared of was the Steelers if they were 100% or close to it. The Pats aren't going to face them.

I think both NO and Houston will win this weekend, and wouldn't be surprised if NY makes a tight game of it.

SF's offense just plain sucks, NO will beat them.
Baltimore's offense isn't very good, and their defense is getting old, Houston has a good shot.
NY will give Green Bay fits, but we shall see.

I just realized....the "home team" for the SB this year is getting the first pick overall.

SF's offense may suck but their defense makes it so they only have to go 50 yards to score TDs or 20 yards to kick a field goal.
