Re: 49ers and Patriots Favored For Conference Championships
Hate to say it, but Ravens/Falcons Super Bowl - which would be the Jason Garrett bowl.
If you remember, after the 2007 season(when Dallas got the top NFC seed and made an early exit), Garrett was offered the HC jobs from both teams, until Jerry gave him a raise to stay in Dallas.
Subsequently, both teams got no-name coaches and drafted QBs in the first round(which were much maligned until the end of this weekend). Fast-forward to the present day - both teams have made the playoffs every year(except for Atlanta in 2009), while Garrett went through back-back 8-8 seasons as HC in Dallas after taking over for Wade Phillips.
