Personally suprised that the 49'ers are going in to the Superbowl such warm favourites.
Defence wins championships.
What are you talking about Streaker?
You obviously haven't watched much 49ers then because their defense is one of the best in the business,
that's what we are known for.
Ravens are solid but our defense is clearly heaps better.
Defense does win championships.....that's why the 9ers should win.
During the regular season the 49ers ranked 3rd in yards allowed while the Ravens were 17th and the 9ers were 2nd in points allowed to their equal 13th.
Ravens defense has performed worse in the postseason....the offense has got the job done in the games.
Also we had 4 linebackers that earned first or second team All-Pro honors.
I expect a 49ers victory, Ravens will need an good game with the 9ers off the boil to win.
We are more versatile, athletic and have more ways to win.....I'm not saying it's a certainty because we lost to the Rams...during the season.
But we are peaking at the perfect time.
If the past two Super Bowls have taught us anything, it's that the better team on paper doesn't necessarily win.
The Giants and Packers got hot at the right time and rode that momentum.
