It's taken me a long time to come to a conclusion on this one. First of all, these teams are pretty evenly matched player-wise, defense first, rushing second, and capped off by quarterbacks that can be both captivating and puzzling. They're coached a bit differently however, despite being brothers. Jim Harbaugh tends to focus on a physical defensive presence and an up-tempo, largely rushing based offense. John Harbaugh tends to be just as physical defensively but his offensive approach is a bit more balanced, with far less focus on rushing, despite having the better running back. Both have a big focus on special teams as well, which I think will come into play. This kind of match-up should make for an exciting Super Bowl match-up that'll go back and forth for all four quarters. That being said, I still felt I needed to make a pick, so here it is, with almost no confidence whatsoever:
San Francisco 49ers: 27
Baltimore Ravens: 24
