Yeah can't see Baltimore keeping up with SF, but had them losing to the Colts in a mild upset in the WC, so what do I know.
That said, if Baltimore watched the beatdown SF got in their last loss, from Seattle (man if they beat Atlanta they would've had a great chance of playing today), 6 weeks ago, on the defensive side as a way to neutralize Kapenerick, they'll have a chance. Rice will have to run the ball effectively so that Flacco can take his shots downfield.
Hoping for a Ravens win, however.
The annual complaints about the promos for CTV shows and the odd Canadian-Superbowl-specific commercial will exist, but the more agonizing part is going to be having to listen to Nantz and Sims stumble through the broadcast. Sims with his cliched and half asleep analysis, and Nantz trying to create feel good stories in the same flowery manner he does for golfers in The Masters. They're, IMO, maybe 3rd on the list of CBS broadcast teams as far as actually calling an interesting and enjoyable game.
Eagle/Fouts and Gumble/Dierdorf IMO are ahead of them.
