Welcome SpinZoners to the guide to the game that has taken four and a half months, two wild rounds of playoff football and 17 grueling weeks just to reach but we (and the Niners and Seahawks) have made it. Could we have predicted that both of these teams would’ve made it here when we took our initial predictions at the beginning of the season? Most definitely. Even if the 49ers weren’t as dominating as they were last season, they still have shown that they belong with the top dogs in the NFC. By beating the #4 seeded Green Bay Packers and #2 Seeded Carolina Panthers, the 49ers have once again shown to the NFL that their NFC Championship win last season was no fluke. On the flip side, the league’s most dominant team, the Seattle Seahawks, come in after winning handily against the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Divisional round. When talking about this game, both teams are extremely talented on both sides of the ball, but don’t worry I’ll try and make it as easy on you as possible to try and chose a team to go with in this battle for NFC domination and the opportunity to go to New Jersey and Super Bowl 47.
