Yeah, I think you guys are right about Ravens-Giants. Still, I really don’t think the Harbaugh hype would translate into bigger numbers; as coaches, they don’t actually play against each other (like Eli and Peyton would), and both of them are still relatively new. If Bill Belichick had a brother, or if Rob Ryan became a head coach and faced off against Rex, it would be a different story…

But 49ers / Ravens would be Harbaugh Bowl II – there’s plenty to hype in that as well. It would definitely stay above 40.

So now we know the possible Super Bowl matchups, and it’s obvious which one the networks are rooting for.

I’ll say it right now: a closely contested Patriots-Giants SB could threaten the all-time mark of 49.1 (set back in 1982).

49ers-Ravens would be the least desired matchup…it could dip into the high 30s if the game turns into a blowout.

Do you guys agree? What do you think about the conference championships this weekend?

  I think Ravens-Giants would be the lease deisred match up they met up in Super Bowl 35 and the game was boring.
  
  With Ravens-49ers match up you get the Harbaugh brothers coaching against each other which would be interesting. I agree that Patriots-Giants would be the prefered match up for NBC.

  I have to agree with the others here — Ravens/49ers would do quite well because of the brother-related hype. I would think Ravens/Giants would be the worst case scenario, with Patriots/Giants being the best case scenario.
