It might be difficult for New England Patriots fans to watch Super Bowl XLVII, but the game is still going to be played, as the San Francisco 49ers meet the Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans.

Once again, each team is put in a familiar role with the oddsmakers in Las Vegas. Per OddsShark, the 49ers opened as five-point favorites over the Ravens, but the line has since moved, making the 49ers either three-and-a-half or four point favorites, depending on the book.
The over/under for the game ranges from 47 to 47.5, after opening at 49.
This is familiar territory for the Ravens, as Baltimore entered its divisional round game against the Denver Broncos as major underdogs before pulling out a thrilling, double-overtime win. The Ravens were once again big underdogs in the AFC Championship game, but easily defeated the Patriots, 28-13, advancing to the Super Bowl.
Likewise, the 49ers are in familiar territory as a favorite. Last week, San Francisco entered the NFC Championship game as the favorite -- despite playing on the road against the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons.
