2. Ravens vs. 49ers is set to be epic:
The 9-2 Baltimore Ravens are set to take on the 10-1 San Francisco 49ers in M&T Bank Stadium. It is going to be the biggest test of the season. On Sunday night the 49ers looked like a dominant team. They beat the Green Bay Packers 37-8. The next NFL game saw the Ravens beat the Rams 45-6. The two hottest teams of the NFL season are facing off in Baltimore and M&T Bank Stadium will be rocking. This is being touted by many as a potential Super Bowl preview. Can this game possibly live up to this level of hype?
If the Ravens are going to lose another game this season, the 49ers would probably be the only team good enough to make that happen. The Ravens and the 49ers are the top two scoring teams in the NFL. The 49ers have the second best scoring defense and the top ranked defense in terms of yards allowed per game. The 49ers have four Pro Bowl worthy players on their defensive line and have more talent than maybe any team the purple and black have faced. Since the Ravens winning streak began they have passed each test that has come their way. Passing this next test would make the Ravens undoubtedly the most impressive team in the NFL.
Whether or not this is the Super Bowl preview, the football world is going to learn a lot about both teams. If the Ravens do to the 49ers what they have done to the Patriots and the Seahawks, they may be unstoppable. If the 49ers beat the Ravens, they will show that they can beat any team in the league. Ravens vs. 49ers is going to be a game that we should remember for the rest of our lives. It has the chance to be the best game of the NFL season. If either team walks away with a dominant win, there will be a clear Super Bowl front runner.
