Baltimore Ravens vs San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl XLVII

Super Bowl XLVII is here with two unlikely teams, Baltimore Ravens vs San Francisco 49ers. This NFL super bowl is already been nickname the bro bowl since the head coaches of both teams are brothers.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and  49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh both have never lost after a bye week and they both just had a bye week because of the Pro Bowl.

This game is going to be amazing, Colin Kaepernick leading the 49ers unstoppable offense and Ray Lewis leading the Ravens unbeatable defense. Both have powerful stories leading up to this game but only one can truly be this seasons champion.

Baltimore Ravens Stats And Key Player

Baltimore Ravens (10-6, Playoffs 3-0)

The Baltimore Ravens are the underdogs in this super bowl. The Ravens have gone through NFL playoff hell to make it here and that includes the wild card. We covered all the action through the playoffs. AFC wild card, AFC divisional, and the AFC conference championship. In each of these games there has been one players standing out of the crowd and motivating the whole Ravens team and that player is Ray Lewis.

Ray Lewis has been leading the Baltimore Ravens through the playoffs since the wild card game. He has done what nobody else can and that is emotionally motivate a whole football team. Being the loud talker that he is, he took the attention off of the team and onto himself. This allow all the other Ravens’ football players to relax and focus on the mission, prepare for this game and win. After Ray Lewis announced he was retiring the whole has been on an emotional high focused on winning the super bowl so he can retire in style.

San Francisco 49ers Stats And Key Player

San Francisco 49ers (11-4-1, Playoffs 2-0)

The San Francisco 49ers are the favorites to win this super bowl. The 49ers have won the super bowl the past 5 times they have reached the super bowl. Given this knowledge I can see why their the favorites but that is then and this is now. Totally different team with an opponent different then before. We also covered the 49ers road to the super bowl in this seasons NFL playoffs with the NFC divisional and NFC conference championship.

In the regular season Alex Smith injury gave Colin Kaepernick the chance to lead the San Francisco 49ers. He took to the field with something to prove. Colin Kaepernick showed his team that he was the quarterback to lead the team for now on. However, he had to prove himself once again when the head coach picked him to start in the playoffs. Then Colin Kaepernick showed the world that he was not only the quarterback to lead the 49ers but also a quarterback that the world should keep their eyes on.

Baltimore Ravens Vs San Francisco 49ers Prediction

While the main focus is 49ers offense vs Ravens defense, Colin Kaepernick vs Ray Lewis, and Jim Harbaugh vs John Harbaugh. The truth is defense wins games. The Ravens have an unbeatable defense but the 49ers defense isn’t so bad either. They got the 49ers to the super bowl. This will surely be a defensive game but also a game of which quarterback can get one over the defense. Yes, Colin Kaepernick is the new young quarterback star but I believe Joe Flacco will raise above the 49ers defense.

San Francisco offense stats show that they average more rushing yards and total yards per game than the Ravens. Baltimore offense stats show that they average more passing yards per game than the 49ers. I have faith that Joe Flacco will get in his zone and pick apart the 49ers defense come 2nd half. The first half of the game is a toss up so the Ravens defense should be ready to play as soon as the game starts.

My Pick: Baltimore Ravens on the money line.
