The San Francisco 49ers (14-3, 13-3-1 ATS) will look to write another successful chapter to their storybook season by trying to advance to Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, January 22, 2012 when they host the New York Giants (11-7, 10-7-1 ATS) in NFL playoff betting action; the NFC Championship Game’s kick-off from Candlestick Park is set to go live on FOX starting at 6:30 ET.

The New York Giants look to be in another one of their Super Bowl or bust runs having played their best football of the season when nothing less was required each of the last three weeks. If you rewind back to their championship season back in 2008, you’ll notice the GMEN punched their ticket to the biggest game of the season on the back of their defense that gave up a combined 51 points to the Buccaneers, Cowboys, and Packers before limiting a New England outfit that averaged 36.8 PPG to just 14 points in Super Bowl XLII.
This postseason, NY has given up a grand total of 22 points with only 20 points surrendered to the league’s top ranked scoring offense (Green Bay) last week.

Along with stellar play on the defensive side of the ball, the Giants have beaten the NFL playoff betting odds in both games because of the play of QB Eli Manning. Peyton’s younger brother has been here before, and with a shot at winning his second Lombardi Trophy, the time has come for fans and NFL bettors to welcome him with open arms to the big boy table for dinner. Manning has put forth QB ratings of 136.7, 129.3, and 114.5 in each of the Giants last three victories; all pointspread wins. The Giants were fabulous away from their own house throughout the regular season (5-3 SU & ATS), and they also possess the benefit of already traveling to San Francisco to face the Niners; a game they lost 27-20 as 3.5-point underdogs back in Week 10.

The story that was the 49ers 2010-11 regular season was one for the ages, as Jim Harbaugh came in and turned an underachieving 6-10 SU team into a division winner that won 13 regular season games. If you didn’t believe the hype surrounding this outfit and thought they only took advantage of a 3rd place NFC West schedule, your outlook probably changed after they exchanged blows for a full 60 minutes last week before ultimately finding a way to topple the high flying New Orleans Saints. We weren’t as impressed by the final result however since we stated last week that NO was a different animal outside its more favored dome environment. The enormous scoring plays the Niners gave up in the closing moments also have us weary of backing them as favorites in NFL playoff betting action this time around.

San Francisco will no doubt look to once again pound the pigskin with Frank Gore in hopes of allowing QB Alex Smith to once again shine in the passing game. He threw for 299 yards and three TDs last week, but that came against a pitiful Saints defense that entered possessing one of the worst pass defenses in the league (#31). This time around, Smith will be throwing into a Giants defense currently in excellent form and one that gets tremendous pressure on opposing QBs (48 sacks). It pretty much just shut down Aaron Rodgers limiting him to just 264 yards and a TD/INT ratio f 2/1 while sacking him four times; Smith would never be confused with Mr. “Discount Double Check”, so the Utah product better bring his “A” game with him if the Niners are to keep this storybook season alive.

NFL Playoff Betting Prediction – The Giants lost by a touchdown in their regular season visit to the ‘Stick, but they partook in that match-up less than 100 percent. Now, all the pertinent pieces are healthy and in place, and we’re expecting a much different result this time around. NY did everything right in the first go round except lose the turnover battle by one. That lone cough up allowed the Niners to pull out the home win and cover. We much prefer the Niners in the dog role as they stand 4-2 SU & 3-2-1 ATS in that role, and they failed to cover three of their L/4 as chalk to close out the regular season (the lone win came against a hobbled Steelers outfit). The Giants check in 5-3 SU & 6-2 ATS as an underdog this season, and they’ve covered each of their L/7 road playoff games as an underdog. This is a role they relish, and one Tom Coughlin’s troops have excelled in over the years – no way were getting in front of that train here! Look for the clock to strike 12 and for the Niners Cinderella season to come to a disappointing end!
