Whatever teams show up on Sunday, this is a sneak peek of what could easily be the matchup in this season"s Super Bowl, as both teams have an argument for the elite of their MUT 24 Coins respective conference. New England has been downright visceral in the month of December. They"re looking for their 14th-straight December win, and their 21st-straight win at home during the month, on top of that. They"ve already sealed the AFC East and while they trail the Houston Texans in the conference, they"re probably playing better football right now.

Well, they definitely are, given that they just dominated the Texans in Week 14. Tom Brady has 29 touchdowns and just four interceptions this season. During the team"s present seven-game winning streak, he"s thrown 19 touchdowns and only one interception. Brady is as efficient as ever this year, and he"ll need to be against San Francisco"s defense.

The team recently suspended running back Brandon Jacobs after his slew of complaints of lack of playing time, and rookie LaMichael James got his first carries of the season against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. He played well, and it"s likely San Francisco will use him as Gore"s primary backup going forward.

Another rookie, A.J. Jenkins, might see some playing time if Mario Manningham is unable to play due to injury. Jenkins was the 49ers" first round pick in the 2012 Madden NFL 24 Draft, and fans are eager to see him play.

Defensively, linebacker Aldon Smith needs three sacks to match Michael Strahan"s single season record. He"s got 19.5 on the season and will have his sights set on MUT Coins Madden 24 Patriots tackle Nate Solder. It will probably be crucial to San Francisco"s chances of winning on Sunday, as the Patriots boast an exceptionally strong offense.
