The San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravnes
will face off for Super Bowl XLVII. Both teams lost in the Conference Championships last season and they were able to come back this season and make the big jump and to make the Super Bowl.
The San Francisco 49ers went 11-4-1 in
the regular season winning the NFC West and clinched the NFC #2 seed.
They beat the Green Bay Packers 45-31 in Divisional Round. Then San Francisco beat Atlanta Falcons 28-24 to win the NFC. They rallied from 17 points down to win and capped the second greatest Conference Championship comeback in history. This the 49ers' 6th Super Bowl. They have won all 5 Super
Bowls they have played in. They have won Super Bowl XVI, XIX, XXIII, XXIV and XXIX.They will look to tie the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl Championships.
The Baltimore Ravens went 10-6 in the
regular season winning the AFC North and clinched the AFC #4 seed. They
beat the Indianapolis 24-9 in the Wild Card round. Then they went to Denver, they were able to
upset the Broncos 38-35 in 2OT. In the AFC Championship they went to New England to play
the Patriots which was a rematch of last year's AFC Championship game which the Patriots won. They were able to upset the Patriots winning 28-13.
This is the Ravens' 2nd Super Bowl. They won their only other Super Bowl in Super Bowl XXXV. Joe Flacco has won at least one playoff game each of his first five seasons.
My Prediction: Both teams in this game have great defenses but also have very talented quarterbacks. Flacco had 3817 passing yards and 22 passing touchdowns. Colin Kaepernick was not the original starter this season but has emerged after Alex Smith got hurt. During his time as the starter Kaepernick threw for 1814 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also ran for 415 yards and 5 touchdowns. Both teams also have very good running backs. Ray Rice for Baltimore had 1143 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns. Frank Gore for San Francisco had 1214 rushing yards and 8 rushing touchdowns. This game is probably one of the closest Super Bowls I have seen in a while. This game is definitely a pick-um game. It could also be the first Super Bowl to go into overtime. It seems that any teams could easily win this game. This game also could be Ray Lewis finally NFL game. He was the Super Bowl XXXV MVP. He has announced he would like to retire following this game. One other fun fact is both head coaches for the two teams are brothers. This the first time in a Super Bowl to see whether John and Baltimore or Jim and San Francisco come out on top. I going to pick San Francisco in the game. My main reason is Colin Kaepernick is just a more mobile QB and I think he will be tough to stop in this game. I think San Francisco wins their their 6th Super Bowl and improves to 6-0 in Super Bowls.

San Francisco 24, Baltimore 23.
San Francisco 49ers are Super Bowl XLVII Champions.
Colin Kaepernick is Super Bowl XLVII MVP. 13 for 20 (.650), 210 passing yards, 2 TDs, 1 INTs, 75 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD.
