Super Bowl XLVII Baltimore Ravens vs San Francisco 49ers
NEW ORLEANS -- For the first time in Super Bowl history, two brothers will face off against each other as head coaches. The Baltimore Ravens' John Harbaugh and San Francisco 49ers' Jim Harbaugh set up the milestone coaching matchup with impressive runs through the playoffs, thus providing Super Bowl XLVII with one of the greatest pregame storylines in the championship's history: brother vs. brother with the Lombardi Trophy at stake.
Ravens: Mind-blowing stats
1
Who needs late-season momentum? The Ravens became just the second team since 1990 to advance to the Super Bowl after losing three of their last four regular-season games. The 2009 Saints, who beat the Colts in Super Bowl XLIV, are the only other team to accomplish this feat.
2
Flacco just fine in playoffs: Joe Flacco has won eight games in his postseason career. An NFL-record six of them have come on the road. Two of them have come at Gillette Stadium, making Flacco the only QB to defeat Bill Belichick's Patriots twice at home in the postseason.
3
Postseason powerhouse: The Ravens are 13-7 all-time in the playoffs. Their .650 winning percentage is the best in NFL history. In the Super Bowl, Baltimore faces a 49ers team that owns the fourth-best winning percentage in NFL playoff history (29-19, .604).
49ers: Mind-blowing stats
1
How's that for starters? Colin Kaepernick made seven regular-season starts before leading the 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII. Only one quarterback has ever won a Super Bowl with fewer career starts at quarterback than Kaepernick: Jeff Hostetler of the 1990 New York Giants, with four regular-season starts.
2
It takes two: The 49ers entered the playoffs as a No. 2 seed. No. 2 seeds have won six Super Bowls since 1990. Only No. 1 seeds have fared better in the postseason, winning nine Super Bowls in that time span.
3
Finding success early: Jim Harbaugh is the fifth coach since 1970 to reach the conference championship game in each of his first two seasons as a head coach. Three of the four others won Super Bowls in one of those seasons (Don McCafferty, George Seifert, Barry Switzer).

I pick The 49ers to get the win in this.

Re: Super Bowl XLVII Baltimore Ravens vs San Francisco 49ers
Yay Ravens. Not that I really care because my team didn't make it. But Baltimore was my hope to win. Funny about the blackout though haha, and if they blame it on Katrina, which one commentator did, they need to be told that was 8 years ago lol. Good game though, made itm ore exciting when San Fran started that second half coemback and almost took it all.
