Here is a post I made on Zach's blog (freetofindtruth.blogspot.com) not an hour after watching the final few minutes of this game:

So there's the Vikings-Falcons stuff that I covered. But there's also...
The 2009-2010 NFC Championship Game between...you know...The Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints. Both games the Vikings fell in OT, to the Falcons in MN and to the Saints in NO. But what's very curious? Remember who the Vikings QB was that year? Brett Favre! In regulation, Favre threw a back breaking interception across his body with the Vikings nearly in FG range to possibly win the game. By design. I'll have to look at the yard line he threw that on as well.

Which brings me to tonight's Hawks-Pelicans game. I tuned in with about 3 minutes left in the game with the Hawks very close to the 106-107 point territory. Note that this puts the Pelicans at 1-7. Here's what took place:

The Hawks lead 105-95 with 54 seconds remaining. I thought to myself, how could they get to 107? The Pels only have 95 points. Maybe this game means nothing...

Jeff Teague is fouled with 6 seconds to go. I thought for a moment that he'll make both to get 107, but then it came to me. 106. What does he do at the line? He clanks the first FT. Makes the second. I knew he'd get 106, but is this really significant? 6 seconds later...the Pelicans make a 3 pointer at the buzzer.
I laughed to myself because I saw it coming yet I still can't really believe it.

The final? 106-98. 16-17-33. Do I need to mention that 49ers game? By the way. Who shot that final 3 pointer? Toney Douglas, the brother of former Falcon Harry Douglas. This is Harry's first season on a team other than the Falcons. Do you know what team he's on? The Tennessee Titans. Who lost to the Falcons 10-7, in a game that Harry Douglas was mysteriously not active for.

If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it.

Finally, look at the dates and opponents:

Jan 23 Hawks at Phoenix
Jan 24 NFC Title Game
Jan 25 Hawks at Denver

I have predicted a Falcons at Cardinals NFC Championship Game, followed by a Falcons/Broncos Super Bowl.

Coincidence, I'm sure.
