I’m not sure how often the best teams in each conference get to play each other this late in a season, but it sure feels like a treat that we’re about to get the Baltimore Ravens versus the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16.
The game will be played on Monday night, and for my money, this is a preview of the Super Bowl. There’s still a lot at stake for each team, too. Both are obviously trying to hold on to first place in their respective conferences, and the Ravens are still trying to lock up the AFC North.
They’re also one and two in best odds to win the Super Bowl, and if the Ravens can pull off the upset on the road, we may see those odds flip. Here’s a look at where the odds are going into the week.
