SUPER BOWL XLVII PREVIEW
The day football fans have been waiting for all year is finally here Super Bowl 47. This one should be another great one as it has The Baltimore Ravens vs The San Fransco 49ners. We are going to break down postiton by postion to see who has the edge in the big game and then give our final prediction.Spinzz
Quarterback
The NFL is at a cross roads as far as the Quarterback postion is concern. Between the readoption and the traditional drop back pocket passer. Many people feel that this game is a big part in the changing of the guard. Colin Kaepernick is coming into this game as one of the next budding superstars in the NFL. His ability to run and pass has been amazing in his first 10 stats. He has also played his best football in these playoffs. Joe Flacoo who has been ridculed his whole career has quieted a lot of his doubter. He has 10 TD to 0 intos and has beat two of the all time greats in Tom Brady and Payton Manning. While Flaco has proven he can win big games he has also has very flukey games at times as well. Kaerpernick can do it all and you can tell no moment is to big for him.
Advantage: 49ners
Running Back

Advantage: 49ners
Running Back
Ths is as close as any postion battle between the two teams. Both teams have elite #1 running backs in Ray Rice and Frank Gore. They also have wepons as their backups. With Benard Peirce for the Ravens and Lemichael James for the 49ners. While they both have very solid and deep backfields I feel that the Ravens have the better fullbck in Vonta Leach. That gives the Ravens a little bit of an edge.
Advantage: Ravens
Wide Recivers
This one is the most inertesting in my opinon. You Have Torey Smith ,Anquan Boldin , Jacoby Jones, and Dennis Pitta for the Ravens. Then with the 49ners you got Michael Crabtree, Randy Moss, and Vernon Davis. Both these teams have very solid reciving cores and have great repore with their QBs. To me the big thing is Mario Maningham being out for the 49ners. I thnk he is a big factor, because you don't know what you are going to get from Randy Moss. The Ravens will look to take Crabtree away. I think the Ravens are a little deeper and they are playing as good as they have all season I see Troey Smith having a big game.
Advantage: Ravens
O Line
San Fran has one of the most dominate O Lines is the history of the NFL this is an easy one to do
Advantage: 49ners
D Line
Both teams have very solid d lines. With Justin and and Aldon Smith leading the 49ners and The Ravens with Haloti Ngata and Paul Kruger leading the way for them. While both arent at a 100% I am gonna go by the team that has played the best and most consistend all year.
Advantage: 49ners
Linebackers
This is more of a changing of the guard. While the Ravens have Ray Lewis, Dannelle Ellerbe and Terrell Suggs. The 49ners have two of the best linebacker in hte game in Patrick Wllis and Navorw Bawman who are following in the steps on the field of Ray Lewis in beacoming great linebackers. The youth and the healthines of San Fran gives them a edge here.
Advantage: 49ners
Secondery
With both teams having great defesnese this has been the question of both as of late. Ravens Secondery has been up and down all year more so cause they lost their lock down corner Webb with an ACL injury. San Fran has had one of the best in the NFL all year long but has looked shakey at times and struggled in the NFC tittle game.Tarell Brown and Carlos Rogers are no joke but I think the way they play is a bad match up vs The Ravens. When you have Ed Reed playing in his first Super Bowl and Barnard Pollard looking to make a statment after his comments I have to give the Ravens a slight edge.
Advantage: Ravens
Speical Teams
Both teams have explosive returners in Jacoby Jones for the Ravens and Ted Gin JR for San Fran. To me the thing that is a big factor is how good Justin Tucker has been and how bad David Akers has been.
Advangtge: Ravens
Coaching
In one of the biggest stories if not the biggest of the Super Bowl you have the two brother Jim and John Harbaugh as oppiset coaches. Both are great coaches and both made gutsy calls mid sason that if they dint make they both wouldn't be here. Jim by benching Alex Smith mid season and Jon by firing the ravens offesnive cordnator. They both have great staffs around them and both are great coaches to go along with it it is hard to give one the edge.
Draw
Final count Ravens 4-49ners 4-1 Draw
Final Prediction
This is a very even Super Bowl when you really break it down. Even though San Fran looks to be the best team all around and the most talanted team. My head tells me to go with them, but the way the Ravens have played since Ray Lewis has said he will retire. Also the fact as we have seen in years past how the hottest team wins a lot of the time. I think we will see a back and forth game. With both teams using the run game the Ravens with Ray Rice 49ners with Frank Gore. Look for Capernick to make some big plays also. The big X Factor is how the Ravens recivers play its best when they dont get bumped on the line. The 49ners dont normaly do that so I see a big game from the Ravens Recivers. The Ravens send Ray Lewis off with his 2nd ring and get Ed Reed his first.Final Score Ravens 24-49ners 20
Super Bowl MVP Torey Smith
