Ravens, or 49ers?

Joe Johnson — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:00:33 +0000

Okay, here is the match-up. Baltimore vs. San Fransisco, the Harbaugh Bowl, as it is being called. These are two high-quality teams. One is playing in their 6th Super Bowl, while the other is playing in their 2nd. One has a Quarterback who is only on his way to his 10th NFL start, while one is overcoming a bunch of disappointment from previous AFC Championship games. Who will win? My guess is as good as yours.

Lets compare the teams:
The San Francisco 49ers have an insane weapon at QB, Colin Kaepernick. Their weapons that compliment Kaepernick include Frank Gore, Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, and an alum of my University, Marshall’s own Randy Moss. Their defense was ranked 3rd in the league and has three All-Pro linebackers.

Now we look at the AFC North’s own Baltimore Ravens. They are on a roll, and when I say they are on a roll, I mean they are on a roll. Not too many teams can go to the playoffs and beat Peyton Manning AND Tom Brady in their respective home stadiums.

NFL Headlines: Dwayne Bowe wants out of Kansas City

After using the franchise tag this offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs and disgruntled receiver Dwayne Bowe weren’t able to come to agreement on a long-term deal, and now with the teams’ 1-5 start and no glimmer of hope on the horizon, Bowe reportedly wants out of KC, and the Miami Dolphins could be a potential suitor.

The Seahawks and 49ers will kick-off Week 7 tonight in an NFC west clash that will see the winner in control of the division. 49ers WR Mario Manningham(shoulder) and LT Joe Staley(concussion) are both listed as questionable, while the Seahawks will have a healthy Kam Chancellor(ankle).

If Cowboys RB DeMarco Murry is unable to go this week, incumbent backup Felix Jones is ready to carry the load for the floundering Cowboys.

After Vikings WR Jerome Simpson was deactivated for Sunday’s game against the Redskins, it cost him $59,375 for not being one of the teams’ 46 active players, and he was very disappointed with the move.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting the Saints are uncertain whether Jimmy Graham (ankle) will be active for Week 7.
