The 49ers' coach and star quarterback talked to the media at their final practice before heading to Atlanta for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Atlanta Falcons.
John Madden said it's more likely the Baltimore Ravens will upset the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game Sunday than the Falcons will upset the 49ers in the NFC match-up.

John Madden thinks the 49ers will win Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Falcons in Atlanta, but doesn't expect a cake walk.
When the Atlanta Falcons beat the Seattle Seahawks, they earned the first playoff win for both Matt Ryan and Tony Gonzalez. The entire franchise was able to breathe a sigh of relief, but will need to re-focus with San Francisco up next. With the winner heading to the Super Bowl, Atlanta must be careful to not suffer an emotional let down, and will face even more pressure as the stakes have been raised.
Often underappreciated and overlooked around the NFL, Frank Gore has carried the 49ers through good times and mostly bad the last eight seasons.
Four-time Super Bowl Quarterback Joe Montana delivered some news to Atlanta that they didn't want to hear. The San Francisco 49ers legend, in an interview on CBS Radio's 92.9 The Game in Atlanta about the upcoming NFC Championship Game, predicted that the 49ers will go all the way to the Super Bowl.
The Falcons have seen enough in San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's eight starts to respect the versatile quarterback with the long stride and strong right arm.
Chip Kelly's announcement that he's leaving Oregon for the Philadelphia Eagles is another sign of big changes in NFL offenses. But John Madden said it's too early to say the read-option executed by 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and others will fundamentally alter the NFL.
There are a lot of things that will be needed to slow down the Atlanta Falcons offense in the NFC Championship Game. The 49er secondary will have their hands full chasing Roddy White and Julio Jones around, but the key match-up is going to be NaVorro Bowman and Patrick Willis vs. Tony Gonzalez. There is no doubt that Gonzalez is the greatest ever at the tight end position, but this is a match up that San Francisco can win.
This is the first time Colin Kaepernick has appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and the first time a 49er was featured on the cover since Jan. 23, 2012.
Despite all those gaudy statistics and impressive physical skills, Colin Kaepernick faced plenty of questions coming out of Nevada about whether he was the product of a gimmicky college offense that would have no chance of working in the pros.
The Wall Street Journal reports 49er players have missed far fewer games due to injury over the last two seasons than the other three teams still in the playoffs. Some 49er players and other observers credit a stretching regimen the coaches won't talk about.
I'd like to see a raise of hands for all those who thought Kaepernick was a good idea at mid-season. I thought so. How about all those who thought Harbaugh was nuts? That's more like it.
Despite having to travel on the road to play the Atlanta Falcons, the 49ers are in a good position to pull out a win on Sunday. The keys to getting over the hump, that is the NFC Championship Game, will be a mix of mental and physical. Both teams are solid and equally talented, but if San Francisco can control three things, they will find themselves one win away from the Lombardi Trophy.
Mike Nolan, now the defensive coordinator in Atlanta, gets the chance to see the results of some of his work when the Falcons (14-3) host the 49ers (12-4-1) on Sunday with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
The NFC and AFC champions will be decided Sunday, with the 49ers facing the Falcons in Atlanta and the Ravens meeting the Patriots in Foxborough. Which two teams will advance to the Super Bowl?"
When the New York Giants beat San Francisco last year in the NFC Championship Game, it was the 49ers' inability to make a big play offensively that was a big reason for the loss. The team used the off season to address this problem, and as they find themselves one win away from the Super Bowl, the offense looks nothing like the one that let them down in this very game a year ago.
The San Francisco 49ers are one win from the place they've planned to be all along: the Super Bowl.
As the Packers did with the 49ers in their loss to San Francisco Saturday, teams are struggling to defend the read option offense. How will defenses adjust to Colin Kaepernick and other running QBs?
