Well kids we`re winding down to the wire so I figured it may be fun to get all the great football minds on our site to predict the winner of the 2012 Super Bowl...and maybe a little insight from all of you while we`re at it.
So who wins it??
Cobra
"Ball Hawking"(turnovers) will play huge in both these games...both the Ravens and the 49ers are 'takeaway' teams, it`s in their game plan. The Ravens don`t trust Flacco on long drives (nor would I) and the Niners don`t want Smith to have to drive the field on that great defense of the Giants. Brady will get his yards...but where and when will he get them, after they`re behind by 14?? and what happens after the catch will be important. The Ravens will keep Brady on the bench as much as possible with Rice running and short dumps by Flacco thus eating the clock. Flacco will have 1 job to do in this game---don`t lose it yourself !!
The Niners couldn`t stop Brees...but they could stop the hottest team in the league in the Saints...and the turnovers did it...did the Saints give the game to the Niners via the turnover?? NO...the Niners took the game via the turnover..therein lies the difference. The Niners won`t have to overload the defensive line to stop the run like the Packers did---the Pack in doing so left all those 10-12 yd dumps wide open for Manning all day and he killed them with it leaving Rogers on the bench--perfect if you`re a Giants fan. The Niners don`t have to overload anything for success meaning the short dumps are gone, and Eli Manning and his receivers are in for a long day in a losing cause.
It`ll be the 49ers and the Ravens in the Super Bowl and ....
Key injuries aside...Frisco takes it in a walk 27-10.
