1st time poster, but long time player. This is also coming from a life long Baltimore resident. I don't believe the advantages are as one-sided as some (including you, Train) have made it to out to be. First, the Ed Reed that people are referring to here, no longer exist. Reed is constantly late to the ball, is tentative to contact due to past injuries, and rarely makes the big play anymore. The Ravens secondary has played remarkably well since recovering from the Webb's season ending injury, but they have weaknesses including the deep ball. S.F. O-line should protect Super-kid fairly well to exploit this area and I'm expecting the Crabtree/Walker combo to have their big moments Sunday. Second, one of biggest (and most overlooked) advantages for S.F. in this game will be their overall team speed. They are faster than anything the Ravens saw this year and it showed when they faced New England on that Sunday night. This leads me to the first prop bet that I like- TEAM WITH MOST PENALTY YDS Ravens -125. They've been 1 or 2 in penalty yds all year long and 49ers speed in this game won't make it any easier. Third, Terrell Suggs has had a difficult time since coming back from his serious injury in which as everyone knows, he probably pushed too quickly. While proving he's a gamer, he's made very few big plays since returning and should be neutralized by the stellar S.F. O-line. Fourth, Joe Flacco has played very well in the playoffs and proven many of his critics wrong (including me). If you've seen every Ravens game over the last few years, you would have your doubts, too. With that being said, Raven receivers are not known for getting good separation and Joe has had to pinpoint most of his passes the past few weeks. There's a fine line between a perfectly thrown pass in tight quarters and an interception. He'll probably have to do it again this Sunday for the Ravens to be successful. Good luck to all. (Needless to say, I like the 49ers to cover).
