We're down to the final four teams in the NFL playoffs, and there isn't a clear-cut favorite to take home the Lombardi Trophy. Each team can advance to Super Bowl XLVII if it's able to play on its own terms on Championship Sunday -- something that is easier said than done. Here is the path each remaining contender can take to reach New Orleans on Feb. 3:

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons

» Sunday, 3 p.m. ET, FOX

If it's true that contrasting styles make for good fights, the NFC Championship Game should be a blockbuster. The 49ers prefer a rough and rugged game predicated on defense and running the ball, while the Falcons want to turn every matchup into a track meet behind their high-powered offense. During the regular season, each team excelled at establishing the tempo of the game during the opening quarter; opponents routinely wilted under the pressure of playing in an uncommon fashion. With the NFC crown on the line in the Georgia Dome, the team that controls flow and tempo will become the team that represents the conference in Super Bowl XLVII.


AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots

» Sunday, 6:30 p.m. ET, CBS

The AFC Championship Game will serve as the rubber match between the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens for the past calendar year. After the Patriots topped the Ravens in last season's conference title match, the two teams squared off again in a Week 3 nail-biter this season, with Joe Flacco and Torrey Smith obliterating the Patriots' secondary for a pair of touchdowns. The duo connected six times for 127 yards, exposing New England's vulnerabilities in the back end. Ray Rice also enjoyed a banner day, racking up 150 total yards from scrimmage, including 101 rushing yards on 20 attempts. Although Tom Brady had an impressive 335-yard outing, a lack of rushing production kept the Patriots from salting away a game that had appeared to be in hand midway through the fourth quarter. Given another opportunity to take on the Ravens for the right to go back to the Super Bowl, the Patriots will be primed and ready to roll in front of the home crowd in Foxborough.

TopKol: So you guys think, Ravens will come to Tom "Terrific" Brady's house and beat his team....C'OMMON GUYS....New England V San Francisco for Super Bowl XLVII

would have given it to the Patriots because of the level in which their wide receivers are right now but even though playing against the Ravens with Conerbacks like Smith Jimmy,William Carry etc and an offence like, Thompson Deonte,Ray Rice,c'mon.Tom Brady is a superb quarterback I'll give him dat and their Offence especially their(Patriots)wide receivers are regarded as the best in the NFL e.gAntony Gonzalez,Deion Branch,Brandon Lloyd e.t.c but u have to look at the defence of the Ravens,they are good also with an average but dangerous offence.This is a tight one but I'll go with the Ravens they look hungry.Ravens and Falcons for the supre bowl

Hahaha,I told u fellas the Ravens are going through,dey are hungry for the championship,Ravens vs 49er's,I still go with the Ravens,Leggo!!!,am a Giants fan though
