San Francisco go into the game as slight favourites in the win market. Bet365 have the 49ers at 4/7 to land their first Superbowl title since 1995.
Their chances lie with second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who took over the starting role after an injury to incumbent Alex Smith midway through the season.
He’s been a rather surprising success, leading the 49ers to a 7-2 record and keeping his composure in very pressurised situations in the latter end of the season.
Unusually for a quarter-back he also can make his own yardage. He’s rushed in four of his own touchdowns and racked up 440 yards in solo ground gains, alone.
The Ravens, who are led by strong-armed quarterback Joe Flacco and retiring linebacker Ray Lewis, are the outsiders, but have seen plenty of support in the build-up to the game after arguably getting the all-important mental edge for all the pre-Superbowl media frenzy.
You can get 6/4 for your money with Paddy Power on Baltimore claiming their first title since 2001.
Much of the betting interest on American Football is focused on the total points line.
The line has been set this year at 47 points. This has triggered the start of a bit of a mini-gamble from punters, who have decided that the match is likely to be dominated by good defences and therefore the under 47 point line has been popular at 10/11 with Ladbrokes, Bet365 and William Hill.
The conditions also could play a part when assessing the points line.
The Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans is an indoor stadium, and in the last 12 indoor super bowls the line has been under a very strong times eight times.
Our advice for anyone who wants to bet the lines is to take your custom to Paddy Power, who have introduced a fruitful money back special on the points markets.
Paddy has promised to refund all money on the Total Match or Total Team points markets if there’s a touchdown in the final two minutes of regular time.
The offer applies to single bets only to a maximum of £100.
Novelty bet opportunities also provide punters with a different angle to bet on the event.
