The Harbaugh Parents can each pick one of their kids to root for in this year's Super Bowl XLVII. Later tonight, in the New Orleans Georgia Dome, Baltimore Ravens coach, John Harbaugh will compete with his younger brother, San Francisco 49ers coach, Jim Harbaugh, in their quest for the Lombardi Trophy. Beyonce will be there, and some new funny, albeit expensive, commercials will air.......Superbowl XLVII.
Big Brother against Little Brother, East Coast vs. West Coast, Retiring Emotional Line Backer versus Young New QB, An Under team vs. an Over team...... Ironical isn't it? Is it opposite day?
So far, 60% of the public is all over Baltimore and the Over. Let's think about this. Two defensive teams....although both sides can score, and in their last three meetings, 03, 07, and 2011; the Ravens prevailed, by a lot of points (38), 2 and 10-points, respectively.
Understanding that the Ravens are coming in EMOTIONAL. It's Ray Lewis's last game. I can remember when Ray Lewis was involved in the shaky shooting at a bar one night, the attention he received from that time, he enhanced with his leadership and consistent play, and he has since turned himself into a born again Christian who is channeling all of that emotion through his teammates in a farewell to beat all farewells.
Then we have the opposite coast, younger brother, and a pup of a QB who is gliding through games, unshaken, dead on, and perhaps a bit as if he made a deal with the devil. Kaepernick....I guess he would have negotiated a better name for himself, but hey, who knows? This kid doesn't seem to be easy to shake and has gone against better offensive teams and come out on top. He led his team to wins over top notch QB's, Tommy Boy, Number 12 and Matty Ice. Like nothing. A snow plow. Joe Flacco be warned.
I like San Fran breaking the trends and this Kaepernick kid taking it all the way. IDK, the total seems a bit high for such an important game. In my opinion, usually the game goes by quickly and each play is so calculated and examined ten fold compared to a Regular or even Post Season game. Then again, both teams put up numbers and crazier things have happened....and it is sooo easy to slip into the Over column, let's face it - - it's way more fun to scream for points, and celebrate touchdowns. I am not gambling on this game, but if I was, I would say..........OMG, I'm so wishy washy right now. I want to take San Fran -4 under 47.5; but something is telling me the public might be right with Baltimore +4 and over 47.5......it's easy to get sucked into the public and what they choose, but also, the trends lean toward the public choice, which brings into question the validity of such choice. Well, now that I have helped Not At All, ha ha, please enjoy the game, for the pure FB part of it....it's what I'm going to do. Happy Superbowl Sunday Folks, may you eat like Kings and Queens, Enjoy the company of good friends, and Yell and Hoot at every touchdown, since in the end, who really cares who wins? The Pats aren't in it.
