The AFC and NFC Championship games are set as the 49ers will host the Giants and the Ravens will travel to New England. But which two teams will advance to Super Bowl XLVI?

San Francisco 49ers are the favorite by around a field goal for this years NFC conference championship game. It makes sense, as Candlestick Park has proven to be a pretty tough place for a road football team to go into and win a playoff game. The crowd was quite boisterous in their victory over the New Orleans Saints, and you can expect a similar environment next Sunday afternoon.
The 49ers took care of the Saints at home in the Divisional Playoff with a score of 36-32 covering the point spread as +3½ underdogs. The total score went over the 47 points line.
Alex Smith passed for 299 yards with 3 touchdowns, also rushing for 28 yards and 1 TD. With this result the 49ers are currently 13-3 overall with a record against the spread of 12-3-1.
Since the New York Giants made the playoffs as a wild card in 2007, Tom Coughlin's team has emphasized the need to be comfortable on the road. The Giants felt downright at home at Lambeau Field in the postseason for the second straight time, humbling the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers 37-20 Sunday, covering the spread as +8 underdogs while the game went over the 54 points total.
Eli Manning passed for 330 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception targeting Hakeem Nicks on two occasions.

Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots |

Jan 22nd, 3:30 PM ET - FOX |
The AFC Championship title will be up for grabs on Sunday January 22, 2012 at 3:00 PM ET when the New England Patriots (14-3) host the Baltimore Ravens(13-4) at Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA. and the AFC Championship betting action will be televised live on CBS.
The ravens will try to dominate the patriots, like they did 2 years ago, when Baltimore romped at Foxboro 33-14 in the wild-card round, as a 4-point underdog. The only problem is, the Ravens have lost 7 of their past 8 meetings Vs. the Patriots, but that lone victory was a huge one two years ago. This time, they visit Foxboro opening as a 7.5-point playoff underdog on the AFC championship game odds.
New England meanwhile, is currently 13-3 overall with a record against the spread of 9-7-0 and the OVER has prevailed 7 in a row when they are chalk.
The Baltimore Ravens are going to need something special from Joe Flacco in order to get past the New England Patriots. The biggest problem for Flacco is that he's going to have to keep up with Tom Brady. Brady is probably not going to go off for six touchdowns again, but he's certainly going to keep Baltimore's defense on its heels better than Yates was able to do. The Patriots are going to get on the scoreboard, and Flacco and the Ravens are going to have to do the same.
On the bright side, the Patriots' defense can be beaten. The New England Patriots continues to struggle in the secondary, and the Ravens can open things up if they remember to give Ray Rice more consistent work. Setting Flacco up for success won't be difficult.
The question is whether Flacco will hold up his end of the bargain, and that's where you have to cross your fingers. Flacco has plenty of playoff experience to draw on, but not all of his playoff experience is of the positive variety.
