The Super Bowl is this Sunday February 3rd in the New Orleans Super Dome. Will it live up to Super Bowl 2012 in Indianpolis at Lucas Oil Stadium?
Last year featured a rematch between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. The Giants prevailed with 21-17 win over the Patriots, giving Eli Manning his second Super Bowl victory.
SuperBowl XLVII features the San Francisco 49ers vs. the Baltimore Ravens. The 49ers (5 time super bowl winners) enter the game led by second year QB Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick's athletic ability combined with his sharp passing and quick decision making has ignited the 49ers offense. Meanwhile, the Ravens are riding the shoulder of hot-handed QB Joe Flacco, who has yet to throw and interception in the playoffs.
However, both of these teams are where their are because of how well they play defense. The Ravens defense is fueled by the emotion of Ray Lewis, who will be playing in his last NFL game before retirement. The defense is older, but they have been playing inspired football in the playoffs. The 49ers are anchored by inside lineback Patrick Willis.
Other key players include 49ers RB Frank Gore and Ravens RB Ray Rice. Both of these guys are tough physical runners who are hard to stop once they get going. Ray Rice is a small beast at 5'8" and 210 lbs.
The other interesting story line from this game is the coaches. Brothers Jim Harbaugh (49ers) and John Harbaugh (Ravens) will become the fast brother head coaches to face off in the Super Bowl.
It should be a great game, although its always bittersweet because it marks the end of football for another year.
When is the super bowl? Kickoff is at 6:30pm on 2/3/2013. But you may want to start watching earlier to catch some of the new super bowl commercials as well.
