I would love to see the Ravens lose, but I think they'll beat the 49ers. The biggest reason is experience. While the Ravens haven't been to the Super Bowl in more than ten years, they've played in a ton of playoff games. Flacco will be making his fourteenth playoff start while Kaepernick will be be making his tenth start...ever.

I'm guessing that Baltimore will get out to a big lead, like 21-3, some time in the first half. The 49ers will cut the lead maybe to 7 in the second half, but the Ravens will go on to win by 10, 34-24. MVP will be Ray Rice.

For the 49ers to win, I think they'll have to limit the number of possessions in the game, run the ball effectively, keep third downs to short yardage and eat the clock. If they do this and force the Ravens to turn it over a couple of times, they might pull it out.
