BSB #11: The Super Bowl Cometh

       Welcome to the eleventh edition of the Bach Sports Box. We are now officially less than 48 hours away from Super Bowl XLVII or for those of you who don't read Roman Numerals that's Super Bowl 47. This year for the first time ever the coaches of the two teams are brothers. This has lead to many different names for the game such as The Harbowl and the Superbaugh. Which ever name you decide to call the game it doesn't change that fact that it is being held in New Orleans for the tenth time in NFL history. The last time it was in New Orleans was 2002 when the Patriots beat the Rams for their first championship in franchise history.

       Going into Sunday's game the Ravens and the 49ers have a combined 6-0 Super Bowl record. The 49ers' last championship came in 1995 against the Chargers. With five championships the 49ers could tie the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl wins in NFL history if they win on Sunday. The Ravens won in their only Super Bowl appearance back in 2001 against the NY Giants. They will be looking to send Ray Lewis out on top with another championship, that is if he still plans to retire.

       Now for what I'm sure you all have been waiting for. It's time for me to make my pick and predictions for the game. I am going with the Baltimore Ravens to beat the San Francisco 49ers. I think the game will be close until the 4th quarter and that the final score will be 38-28. Joe Flacco will be the game's MVP finally showing the NFL that he should be right on the cusp of being considered an elite quarterback. And finally in the end the lack of experience is finally going to get to Colin Kaepernick as well as the Ravens defense.

       Well I hope you enjoyed this weeks look into my sports box. Until next weekend keep sporting.
