Good, the more people pick against us, the more confident I am that we're going to knock the piss out of it.

seems to me that the team they talk about the most is because they have to generate interest to what sells. Kaepernick is a sexy, trendy pick. I believe bookies want you to buy hype by making them a 4 point favorite... they kept favoring the Pats over the Giants also. So I have to believe they are trying to fool you and most knowledgeable fans pick the Ravens....

CK is warming up with Moss and Crabtree.

They are doing a lot if 5-7 yard outs and then CK is sprinting toward the spot of the catch.

It looks as though they are prepping for a very fast pace, maybe even a true no huddle.

Fucking hell. So now according to NFL Network the Ravens winning would be considered an upset?

SF is favored by 4

**StingerNLG** · 02-03-2013, 03:57 PM

Or perhaps everyone but one person there picked the Ravens to win.

This 49er ballwashing has really started to get to me. I'm going to have to turn the TV off before the game.

So Billick picked the 49ers? Really?

Look, talking heads tend to pick the fashionable team. They want to appease as many of the fans as possible. Also, they tend o have a lemming, group-think mentality. "Safety in numbers." Very few of them are courageous or honest enough to pick the underdog.

Was that Matchbox 20 I was just watching? I can't ****ing stand Rob Thomas lolol.

Or he really thinks they will win.

I rarely turn on the Super Bowl before 6:30. With the Ravens in it this year, it won't go on at all until that time, for precisely that reason.

@JasonLaCanfora: Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was crushing field goals from over 60 yards in warm-ups, FWIW

Can't wait for kick off! Hope my buddies from Vegas, Neil and Molly enjoy the game! Going to be a late night here in the UK, but hopefully worth it.

Go Ravens!
