The teams for the 47th Superbowl in New Orleans are now set, with the gritty Baltimore Ravens set to take on the upstart San Francisco 49ers.
In an historic twist, for the first time ever two brothers will coach against each other in the Superbowl.
Jim Harbaugh, head coach of the 49ers, and John Harbaugh, head coach of the Ravens, will put aside their sibling love, at least until the game ends.
While the two brothers will certainly be nervous ahead of the big game, perhaps more nervous will be their parents, who will likely have trouble picking a team to cheer for in the big game.
The Superbowl will likely be an exciting match, featuring two teams who had to pull off some heroics just to make it to the final showdown.
John Harbaugh, the older brother of the pair, watched on the big screen as his younger brother Jim and 49ers won their NFC title.
“Hey Jim, congratulations you did it. You’re a great coach. Love you,” John said.
So while it’s not clear who the parents will be cheering for, Las Vegas has pegged the San Francisco 49ers as four-point favourites.
