Today is the day that the NFL crowns a champion. The 49ers and Ravens will mix it up for the coveted Lombardi Trophy.
So who you got in this one? I have to take the Ravens. The offense is finally balanced because Joe Flacco is clicking with the trio of Boldin/Smith/Pitta. Colin Kaepernick has been phenomenal, but for some reason I think the Ravens defense contains him and the 49ers will struggle a bit on offense.
