SB Nation Regional Hubs Pick the Winners

by Bruce Raffel on Jan 21, 2012 6:00 PM EST

SB Nation has organized certain areas of the country into regional hubs. The bigger ones are in New York, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles. Washington DC has one in this area, but the Baltimore teams (Ravens, Orioles) elected not to be part of any hub named "DC."

Two of the regional hubs put out their own predictions of the NFL Conference Championship Games and their picks will interest fans of the Baltimore Ravens. SB Nation-New York and SB Nation-Indiana posted their breakdown of the two games with their selections as winners to meet in Indianapolis for Super Bowl 46.

You might not be surprised to find out that the New York Regional Hub likes the Giants to advance to the Big Game, but who do they like for their opponent? The Indiana Regional Hub does not pick the NFC Champion in their story but they provide a detailed breakdown and prediction for the AFC Championship Game.

Interesting

Although not that reassuring when the well thought out prediction with loads of stats picks the Patriots, and the short one that looks like it has been put through an online translator picks the Ravens.

Gentleman (and ladies)

All Raven fans out there. Might I suggest before the big game tomorrow you take a second and reflect on the fantastic season this Raven team has produced in 2011. But focus not on the big wins (35-7 over Pitt) or the signature games for certain players (Joe’s GW drive, Torrey’s coming out party against St. Louis, Sizzle’s personal attack on Alex Smith). Focus instead on the miscues and errors that left us all wondering, “What the hell was that?”. After you finish reflecting, remember something. That same team is about to play in the AFC Championship game. That same team is 60 minutes away from the Superbowl. This team is not without flaws, of course there are things I wish they were more consistent with. But the sheer fact they are in the position they’re in is more than enough to convince me they will win tomorrow. And I honestly don’t think there’s another Raven fan out there that thinks they’ll lose.

And if you needed any extra ammo to get jacked up tomorrow

try a little Pantera. It always does the trick for me. These lyrics sum it up nicely. (Mouth for War)

RE-VENGE
I’m screaming revenge again
WRONG
I’ve been wrong for far too long
Been constantly so frustrated
I’ve moved mountains with less
When I channel my hate so productive
I don’t find it hard to impress

BONES…IN TRACTION
Hands break to hone raw energy
BOLD…DISASTROUS
My ears can’t hear what ya say to me

Hold your mouth for the War
Use it for what it’s for
Speak the truth about me
DETERMINED
