With the Superbowl just over a week away, it's time for a little preview before we make our prediction for the big game this time next week!
OFFENSE
The offensive performance of the Ravens is completely reliant on how well Joe Flacco can continue to play. We've seen the past few weeks that when he is playing with confidence and hitting his receivers, he can lead an offense as effectively as any quarterback. If his play cools off during the bye week, the Ravens won't be able to put up many points against San Francisco's defense. Despite being their most talented offensive weapon, I don't think Ray Rice's running attack will mean much in this one. Their offense was stiffled last week against the Patriots' weak defense when they were going with a run-first attack.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is having one of the most prolific playoff runs in NFL history. His eight touchdown passes currently rank him third all-time for most touchdowns thrown in the postseason without an interception.

We already know Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco isn’t going anywhere and will be back in 2013 no matter what. It will come down to whether they can get an extension done before free agency begins in March. ESPN’s John Clayton says if Flacco gets hit with the franchise tag, the Ravens will owe him $14 million in 2013. He’s looking at making $20 million per season...

General manager Ozzie Newsome said the price tag won't change -- regardless of the outcome of the Super Bowl.
"As I said before, Joe and I are at the same comfort level about his contract," Newsome told The Baltimore Sun. "At the end of the day...

Super Bowl XLVII Quarterback Preview
Those who choose to hate on Super Bowl XLVII will surely point swiftly to the unsexy quarterback matchup. After years of being spoiled in the Super Bowl by guys like Brady, Manning, Manning, Brees, Rodgers and Roethlisberger, we're left with a matchup between Joe Flacco and Colin Kaepernick.

The Baltimore Ravens have an opportunity to place the franchise tag on Joe Flacco this offseason. Every time the Ravens use the franchise tag on a player, that player usually signs a major contract by the end of the offseason. Terrell Suggs in 2009, Haloti Ngata in 2011 and Ray Rice in 2012 are proof of that prediction having a strong chance of becoming a reality in 2013. What will...
