This week brings us arguably the four best teams in the league. Games that can be full of offense or defense, neither will fail to bring excitement. Both games are very worth watching this week. Let's begin with the first game on Sunday:
NE Patriots vs. DEN Broncos (3 p.m.):
This is the game Sports Fans have been waiting for all season long. Brady-Manning showdown XIV. The Broncos will be going all out not just because their next game would be the Super Bowl but because of the outcome of their seasonal game. They came out with a strong and wide lead, only to have Brady shine and take his team from behind and winning 34-31. With Brady bringing his record to 9-4 against Manning, Manning will definitely remember that. This year Manning's MVP worthy numbers and team bring something different to the match-up this year; It brings Manning a very good chance of getting to the Super Bowl this year. The Patriots have suffered many injuries and offensive woes, but yet find themselves in a tough Championship Game.
But it has always been about Tom Brady. It will always be about Tom Brady. Even if the Broncos win, everybody will talk about Tom Brady. But for good reason. Belichick and Brady have this six sense where they always succeed. They find ways to win games no matter what, especially in the playoffs. Even with Manning's MVP worthy year and the great team owner Pat Bowlen has, it will always be about Tom Brady.

SF 49ers vs. SEA Seahawks (6:30 p.m.):
The harder of the two games to predict. If I was a betting man, I would not bet anything on either side because this game has no clear favorite. Even with the line giving SF more than a field goal, and this game will surely be about field goals, I still think there is no clear favorite. The 12th man in Seattle will definitely play a huge role. The last time the 49ers came to Seattle, their defense and the 12th man were able to hold Kaepernick to 127 yards and picked him off three times with no touchdowns. Those numbers should swing the favor to Seattle, but SF has played great throughout the playoffs and Harbaugh has begun to establish himself as one of the best coaches in the game right now. If anybody has a chance to beat the Seahawks at home, who are 15-1 in the last two years, I think it is San Francisco.
But alas, a winner must be decided. A game that will be about field goals, I think the home field advantage will help the Seahawks and propel them into the Super Bowl
