Miller Bowl I - 2013

Who cares about the siblings in the actual big game, this (as usual and as it should be) is about the Miller Brothers and making a great prediction. 
The embarrassment of my regular season picks caused me to look long and hard at this game and dissect every matchup down to the 53rd man. Luckily for everyone involved, no one of consequence will see or read this disaster.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Obviously I'll start with the most important aspect of any NFL team. These guys may only be on the field for a handful of plays each game but their impact can be huge on the outcome.
The Ravens boast one major advantage and that's with their kicker, rookie Justin Tucker. He's been money all season while David Akers of the 49ers has kicked with his left foot about as well as I would.
The real reason the 49ers are so good on special teams is because of their coach, Brad Seely, that they stole from the Browns two seasons ago. I'm not real sure how you coach these groups but the Browns have sucked since he left (minus Phil Dawson, best kicker in the league) and the 49ers have ranked near the top of the league.
ADVANTAGE: San Francisco

DEFENSE
This has been the Ravens strength ever since the left Cleveland during some cloudy, foggy evening in the mid-90s. Unfortunately for them, it's not 2002. They are old, slow and deer antler can only carry you so far.
The 49ers defense scares me. Literally. They look mean, you know, like the Ravens did about 10 years ago. These guys fly to the ball and will cause multiple turnovers on the games biggest stage.
ADVANTAGE: San Francisco

OFFENSE
Flacco is not elite. Make any argument you want. I'm allowed to have my opinion, this isn't Russia. This is America, right?? I'd rather have Weeden than Flacco. He's due for a stinkbomb and today's the day.
Give me Colin Kaepernick. I'm not a huge read option fan (isn't every option a read??) but I am a fan of freakish athleticism mixed with a large accurate throwing arm. This is the way of the new NFL. Making plays out of nothing. He'll make a few jawdroppers tonight and will be heard uttering some phrase about where he's heading after the game.
ADVANTAGE: San Francisco

COACHING
Never heard of either guy, no one has.
ADVANTAGE: Who cares

PREDICTION: I'm absolutely taking San Francisco minus the 3.5 points. In fact, I'd give 10 points if I were allowed. We're on a streak of pretty good to great Super Bowls and while this will be very entertaining, it won't be all that close. The 49ers will take a slight lead in to the hour and a half halftime spectacular where the old as dirt Ravens will tighten up and come out sluggish in the 2nd half. This will lead to a few big plays and a two touchdown, not as close as it seems 38-24 victory for Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers.
No longer will the f'ing steelers be the only 6 time SB champs. Suck it pittsburgh and suck it baltimore.

Having said all that, take the under and Baltimore if you actually want to win.

And now a few words from our Regular Season Pick'em Champion: Old Brother Miller.

The Rat Birds deserve to be here. They won the division. They beat Payton Manning at Denver. They beat Tom Brady at New England. As a Browns fan, I'm actually thankful they've only made it to the Super Bowl twice since their exodus from Ohio. I'm doubly thankful that the traitor Modell isn't alive to see this. (I'm 3x thankful that Modell, NFL history's worst businessman, did not claim induction into the Hall of Fame. I'd rather see O.J. Simpson joined by Ray Lewis in the Murderer's Wing than see Modell's bust enshined for eternity.)

The 49ers have not been as deserving. I think they're overrated at each category in which you praised them. Colin Kaepernick had a fluky good game against the Packers and it took a self-destructing Falcon offense to let them steal away the NFC Championship at Atlanta. As much as I'd like the 49ers to win this game, they've simply overachieved by making it this far.

Baltimore 27
San Fran 16
