That is a tough one.
I can easily see alot of points put up if both teams play well. Kapernick and Flacco have been playing full strength Tecmo Super Bowl style. However the Super Bowl rarely plays out as I think it will. Kapernick could get blasted by the Ravens D (Flacco by the 49ers D), a backup QB gets inserted and the whole dynamic changes. The way the defenses of the 49ers and Ravens have been laying the wood, I can see this being a defensive nail biter.
I'd have to bet under. What say you?

i know mike greenberg said the under was his favorite bet hes seen in a long time... which leads me to believe we should take the over....

The Superbowl is the one sporting event where casual wagering > informed wagering (folks who make a living at it). The line is adjusted accordingly.
What I'm hoping is regular Joe takes the under and the line drops slightly to make the over a better bet than it already is. I'm going over.
Disclaimer: I do not make a living at this, just so happens I'll be in Vegas for the Superbowl. Your best bet as always is to keep your cash in your pocket.
Both teams play great defense, yet each quarterback has been producing big plays and a lot of points. That's a difficult bet, I'll stay away...
49ers 24
ravens 16
Niners are averaging 28.5 pts in the nine Kaepernick starts and for an easy comparison Baltimore has averaged 24.5 over their last nine games. 53 combined, I'd lean towards the over for sure.
I also hope the niners cover that 48 themselves and just destroy baltimore.
48 seems a little high for me. I'd take the under.

Indoors - I like the over.
At some point the Niner's get two scores up, and then Flacco makes a mistake that breaks it open.
After watching julio jones absolutely roast the 9ers secondary, and seeing how well flacco is throwing the deep ball...it could get ugly. The classic defensive struggle could go haywire. Its either gonna be a 16-13 nailbiter. Or a 38-31 track meet.
