"If I'm a casual fan just tuning in and seeing these teams for the first time Sunday night, I’m wondering which is which."

I'll help you there: the team palying in red is going to be the 49'ers, the one playing in white is gonna be the Ravens ;)

I don't remember seeing Kapper go against an elite QB and winning like Flacco did against Manning and Brady. He's never played against a D like ours and will be shocked.

[TorryGundy]

They can copy us all they want , but we are he originals! Thier 52 wants to be Ray, Jim wish he could be a coach like John, They even had two of our former coaches go on to be coaches for them. This is our time! No copy cat will take what is rightfully ours!

@Zeus Seattle's defense was excellent this season and Kaepernick played them. He was blown out in a game that was over by the second quarter but he played them.

Heres how you tell the teams apart. The Ravens will be the ones dancing around with confetti falling all over them as they hoist the Lombardi Trophy and the 49ers will be the ones walking away with their heads down and shoulders hunched.

[J.Flacco#5]

If we don't crush them before overtime! :>

[Different!]

Great points, except the Panthers never played the Rams in the Super Bowl because that would be impossible with them both being NFC teams and all. Other than that good work, I thought of another one too, both are undefeated in Super Bowls. Oh, and both have 4 players with previous Super Bowl experience.

GO RAVENS!

[Different!]

They played the Pats, btw.

@valid1. What are the Seahawks doing now? Again Kapper has never played against a D like ours, we're all back and healthy.

[Ravens4Liife]

This match-up is quite possibly the best in decades for a Superbowl. It's eerie how similar the teams are. I can't wait til Sunday for this game. It should be the most entertaining Superbowl I have ever seen, even better than XXXV. Both are great teams, and Willis will be the next legendary defender after Ray retires. I love Willis, if they were playing anyone other than the Ravens, I'd be wishing for him to get a ring.

Biggest stat that I discovered and can't believe the media hasn't picked up:

Avg Points Allowed, last 4 games played:

49ers Defense - 26

Ravens Defense - 14

All this talk about the 49ers Defense, unreal, that was back in the beginning of the season.

We got this ! I have a feeling we're going to embarass San Fran.

Can't Wait !!!!!!!

[INRavensgirl]

No, John. NO OVERTIME! I don't think my heart could take that!!!!!

[arizonaravensfan]

The Panthers played the Patriots not the Rams . We sure have a different QB than the 49ers and that could be the difference in getting us the win!

[IMissMattStover]

I see one major difference he missed. Our QB is much better.

[jackrogers]

The biggest difference will be that each Raven will look themselves in the mirror Monday morning and what they see will be a winner.

Biggest Difference

Ravens Defense- Definitely 2, and Likely 3 Future HOF'rs... 1 on Each Level with R.Lewis, Ed Reed, T-Sizzle..

and if Ngata puts in 5 more dominating years 4 Hof'rs


49ers- 1 Future HOF'r on Defense, Patrick Willis (already 6 Pro bowls 1st 6 seasons, barring injury he's getting there)

Ravens Red zone Defense Holding True to Form... 2nd in NFL Most of year and Playoffs

Tucker Vs Akers.... Ravens win in a Landslide.. Akers has missed like half his Kicks this year

[The Beak]

I really can't agree with you this time John, we have a pocket passer, they don't , we have the best all purpose back in the league , they don't , we have 2 great receivers that compliment each other , speed and toughness , they don't , We Have
Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs, and THEY DON'T!!!!!!!!
Go RAVENS

[HoldingCall]

Both teams are connected to a bay!
