Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and, to heck with it, even Raider fans, today marks the NFL’s 47th Super Bowl.
The clash of this season’s titans meet to decide the only squad that leaves the 2012 season as a true winner.
Later this evening, we have the pleasure of watching the Baltimore Ravens take on the San Francisco 49ers.
The Super Bowl always seems to be much more enjoyable, to the masses, when there is very little talent difference between the two teams. In my opinion, that is exactly what we have here today.
Both Baltimore and San Francisco feature solid offenses and defenses. It would be splitting hairs to break down and differentiate between each and every position of the respective clubs. The edge in special teams would probably go to the Ravens. That being said, this should be a contest that we all are able to talk about for quite some time.
Although I expect this game to go right down to the wire, I refuse to believe that either team is not capable of blowing the other one out.
Have I confused you yet? Moving on.
Below I am going to list my predictions for today’s game. My predictions will range from the winner, points scored, MVP, stats for individual players, big plays, and some fun commercial stuff. Have fun reading this article and enjoy the game!
I expect each and every one of you to hold me accountable for each and everything that I get wrong.
Thanks in advance for reading.
