What to expect from Super Bowl XLVII

Given the way the Ravens and 49ers play, this could be one of the most physical Super Bowls we have seen in a long time. 

Everyone knows that the greatest strength for the 49ers is their ability to line up on offense or defense and smack you right in the mouth. The offensive line is as big and fast as any in the NFL. The defensive front seven is led by the best pair of linebackers in the NFL (Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman). 

The Ravens have become a more offense-oriented team this season, but don't think they have lost their edge. The offensive line is playing as well as it has all year, with Michael Oher and Bryant McKinnie settling into their roles once the postseason started. 

On the outside, the Ravens have physical wide receivers like Anquan Boldin who can go up and get the ball in traffic. 

Expect a lot of hitting in this game. It is going to be fast and furious, with the team that lands the biggest haymaker coming out on top.
