Ravens vs 49ers Super Bowl Betting Odds
Published on January 21st, 2013 3:57 pm ESTCan Colin Kaepernick lead the San Francisco 49ers to their first Super Bowl since 1995, or will Ray Lewis finish his "last ride" with one final title?
Super Bowl XLVII will take place on February 3rd, 2013 at the Mercedez-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The game will pit the Baltimore Ravens against the San Francisco 49ers.
The San Francisco 49ers earned their berth in the Super Bowl by defeating the Atlanta Falcons 28-24. The 49ers fell behind by 17 points before rallying to defeat the Falcons. The 49ers were led back by the arm and legs of Colin Kaepernick and by a rock solid defense that should down the Falcons completely in the second half of the game.
The Baltimore Ravens earned their berth in the Super Bowl by defeating the heavily favored New England Patriots 28-13. The Ravens had a big second half - up until yesterday's game, Tom Brady had NEVER lost a game at home while leading at halftime. The Ravens, powered by a strong performance by Joe Flacco, were able to dominate in the second half and send the Patriots out of the playoffs.
This leaves us with the Ravens vs the 49ers for the Super Bowl.
