Giants vs 49ers
- 1st Down: Can Alex Smith repeat his performance he had against the Saints? - Well last week I asked would he succumb to the playoff pressure. Well he answered that question in a great way. Now I would have to ask that again, now that the stakes are higher and this game could send him to the Super Bowl and pretty much erase the failures of the last 6 years of his career.
- 2nd Down: Which Defense can put the other Quarterback on the ground more: Giants or 49ers? - Sacks will be a big stat as to see who's defense can control this game. The Giants front 4 vs the 49ers turnover machine of a secondary. Winner of this, will win this game and go to the Super Bowl.
- 3rd Down: Will this game become another classic playoff game between these two organizations? - Lets face it, when the Giants/49ers play each other in the playoffs, you usually get GREAT games. 2002 NFC Wild Card (which became the 2nd biggest comeback in postseason history), 1986 Divisional game in New York (48-3 beat'em-down they gave the 49ers) and 1990 NFC Championship Game (Joe Montana's last game as a 49ers Quarterback) just to name a few. All-time postseason series: 4-3 49ers.
- 4th Down: Rainy, Sloppy-Field, Windy, Messy weather in San Francisco - From early weather predictions, this game will look nothing like the game last Saturday against the Saints. With rainy weather attacking the west coast all weekend, this game will be a messy one. This could be an advantage for the home team, but of course the Giants aren't any strangers to bad weather games. Playing in New Jersey, they seen their few share of messy games. Interesting to see what happens at Candlestick Park on Sunday.

- QB: Manning (2) vs Smith (4)
