Who will win the Superbowl?

The Ravens and the 49ers are going to the Superbowl.
The Baltimore Ravens destroyed the Patriots last night. Tom Brady went against a real football team in Baltimore. The Ravens put heat on Tom Brady once again. Seems like the Ravens win every battle against the Pats. When you put pressure on Brady then he gets rattled. Ravens just outplayed them by forcing the Pasts 3 turnovers in the AFC championship game. The Ravens shut out the Pats 21-0 in the second half to when in a blowout victory, 28-13.

The San Francisco 49ers also shut out the Falcons in the second half. The hot Atlanta Falcons were hot in the first quarter. Matt Ryan and that receiving core put on a show in the first half. The tables turned around in the second half. The 49ers defense shut down the Falcons running game, passing game and were just dominating the Falcons.  Prior to the first quarter, the 49ers dominated this game. Kaepernick proved that he is not a running QB, he can also pass the football. The 49ers were just more mentally tougher than the Falcons. The 49ers won the game 28-24 and they deserve to be in the Superbowl. The Falcons just didn't deserve it. 49ers shut out he Falcons 14-0 in the 2nd half. Julio and Roddy couldn't finish it off.

So who wins the game?
Defense wins championships and these teams both proved that their defense is legit. Ravens blew past, Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady.
The 49ers blew past Aaron Rogers and Matt Ryan.
The difference between the teams the Ravens beat is that the Ravens havent seen a mobile QB in Kaepernick all playoffs long. If the Ravens can adjust to putting pressure on the second year QB in Kaepernick, the the Ravens will win the Superbowl. Flacco is a more reliable QB than Kaepernick.

Flacco Elite?

Is Flacco an elite QB? Or does he have to win one more game in the Superbowl agaisnt the 49ers to earn his title? Flacco has been to 3 AFC championships and last night he won his first one to earn a spot in the big game.
Flacco is 8-4 all time in the postseason, been to the playoffs and won at least one game in his first five seasons in the league. Not to mention, Flacco is the only QB to ever do that.
Last year Flacco numbers were better than Tom Bradys in the AFC title game: Flacco 22-36 1 TD and 306 yards. Brady 22-36 2 TDs and only 239 yards. Flacco just outplayed Brady from start to finish. Baltimore did not win the game last year but it all changed this year meeting the Patriots for revenge.
This postseason, Flacco has 8 TDs and 0 ints all playoffs.
Last night the Ravens defeated the Patriots 28-13. The Ravens shut out the hot Patriots in the 2nd half 21-0.
Flacco has earned the right that he is not just an average QB. The numbers proves that wrong! Elite QB? You cant answer that question yet. Flacco has had nicknames such as"Flucco". Is this road to the Superbowl a Fluke season? We will see against a great defense against the 49ers. If Flacco wins this game, then he will be an elite QB and the QB of the future.
