(Above stats from postseason)
Thoughts: The Ravens have had a magical run, defeating the Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos and New England Patriots this post season while the 49ers had a bye before beating the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons. I expect this game to be hard fought and low scoring in the first half. In the end, look for the Ravens to pick up a 23-20 victory to send Ray Lewis out as a World Champion. I’ll take the Ravens with the points and the under here.
