Baltimore at San Francisco (02/03/2013)

After last week, I feel it's just destiny at this point. Much like the G-Men last year. Gimme the Ravens +3.5 in the "HarBrawl"

Anyone liking the over 47, too?

heads on the coin flip?

over/under on the national anthem? Fumbles? Sacks? FG's?

purple Gatorade dumped on the winning coach?

let's get it all out on the table.....

good luck all.....

Under what age? 45? Some of those women in that pic have crows feet for God's sake!!!

You might want to stop drinking the bathtub hooch bottom-shelf sake, Siterbun - it's turning you blind.......

Field Goal %  Balt  90.9 / Ranked 6th....SF %  69/ Ranked 31

End of story!!!

Vali31, you have your own opinion on whats gonna happen on this game. If the spread was more than 4.5, then i probably would have no bet and would touch the o/u instead. But the Niners

giving only 3.5 or 4 is very doable. The QB play will be the difference in this game. I also dont think its gonna come down to a FG.  BTW, for those that dont know, NINERS are 5-0 in the SUPER BOWL

WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US ?

While your wisdom is certainly remarkable, I diagree with your analysis.  I didn't think it was worth even responding to, until I saw this remark....

So here is where I disagree.....

First of all, I think it's safe to assume, (as if anything is safe to assume in the NFL) that this game is going to be a low scoring tight ball game with very few big plays, probably a few turnovers....

It's not going to be a shootout.... I don't think long bombs will come into play unless the 6'6 Flacco is staring over the Oline and sees a mismatch... otherwise it's going to be dink and dunk, YAC, and a combo of rice/pierce from the offense.... (note; SF is ranked number 1 vs. YAC)

The last meeting between these 2 was 16-6.  It's going to be a defensive battle with both teams struggling to get into the endzone....

I think special teams will play a large role.  Kick returns and field goal kicking....

Long Bombs? only calculated shots, at the end of first half, or in desperation mode...

Not a great way to cap this game..... Ravens are by no means an offensive juggernaut....

You also forgot to mention while minimizing the beating of Manning/Broncos at home, that the all-world qb really only put up 21 points.... if not for 2 returns for touchdowns, it may not even been a game!!!!!

GL TO ALL!

Here's my play if anyone cares.... hoping my hot streak stays alive.

The LARGE bets I put in on Atlanta and Baltimore to win the superbowl I'm going to cover....

So I lost ATL obviously, I'm going to wager "to win" the amount to cover both bets....so if 49ers win I break even, if Ravens win I will win half of my wager at 9-1.

I'm then going to buy the line up to 4.5 (should've just called it in early!) and take the Ravens...

4 reasons.....

1) I'm going with the experienced team over the young team.... I think experience plays a huge factor in game prep for 2 week layoff.... and many of the Ravens have been to the Superbowl and won once before..... and they've been to several championship games over the years.... they have been an elite team for the last 5 years....  SF doens't have as much experience in Championship games as  Balt.  I think this will play a role. 

2)  I think at this stage in their career Flacco is a better QB than CK.... obviously the upside in CK is ridiculous.... but at this stage of the game I'm going to bet against the "ROOKIE" laying points....

3)  Ed Reed......... He's been quiet in the last two game except for the dropped interception during the Colts game.... his ability to read and anticipate a qb is gonna cause problems for the 49ers.  I'd be surprised if you see Vernon Davis doing what he did last week while Reed is watching him.

4)  Ray Lewis........ I saw stats on NFL Network that he the most snaps, tackles, and assisted tackles during 1 post-season in NFL History..... that's insane.... Patrick Willis is just as nasty, if not better, but the guy is playing possessed..... It's his last game "again" and he will get this team ready....

GL TO ALL!
