\"SuperThe San Francisco 49ers became the first team to lock up a spot in Super Bowl 47 when they knocked off the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 at the Georgia Dome. Now, they’re playing in the biggest game of the season, and we are set to make our Superbowl predictions and picks. \u00a0In this article we’ll discuss the keys to the game; as in what the 49ers need to do to win the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

#2 San Francisco 49ers vs. #4 Baltimore Ravens<\/strong>
\nSuper Bowl 47 Location: Mercedes Benz Superdome, New Orleans, LA
\nWhen is the Super Bowl?: Sunday, February 3rd, 6:30 p.m. (ET)
\nSuper Bowl TV Coverage: CBS<\/p>\n

Key #1: 49ers have to come out firing & let C.K. orchestrate\u00a0the offense from the start.<\/strong>
\nEarly in the Falcons game, it appeared that Jim Harbaugh & Greg Roman were trying to out-think Atlanta defensive coordinator, Mike Nolan. \u00a0It seemed as if the 49ers assumed that all the focus would be on Kaepernick’s running ability out of the pistol formation. \u00a0On the very first play, the 49ers came out of the huddle, showed the pistol formation, and than quickly switched to a power-i before running their first play. \u00a0Perhaps\u00a0this was\u00a0their\u00a0way of saying, “We’ll do what we want”. \u00a0But, it didn’t fool Atlanta’s defense at all. \u00a0A hand-off to Gore resulted in Falcon defenders filling holes and swarming to the football. \u00a0Everyone knows the 49ers intend to run the football between the tackles, regardless of how well Kaepernick slinging the rock. \u00a0If the Niners coaching staff really<\/em> wanted to throw the Falcon defense off-guard, a 5-wide receiver set along with a no-huddle offense from the start really would have done the trick. \u00a0The Falcons were playing the run on every play in the first quarter, and the 49ers were playing right into their hands. \u00a0Due to the quick three-and-outs, Kaepernick wasn’t able to get comfortable\u00a0orchestrating\u00a0the offense until he was allowed to hit some receivers in stride and make some check downs. \u00a0Baltimore is going to do everything they can to show that San Francisco’s highly touted offensive front isn’t going to push them around in the running game (and they are going to try to rattle the young gunslinger). \u00a0The Ravens will be very aggressive\u00a0 in doing so. \u00a0Therefore, making sure C.K. gets into a\u00a0rhythm\u00a0throwing the football early is important. \u00a0Not only will it\u00a0surprise\u00a0the Ravens defense, but it will also open\u00a0things up for the Gore\/James\/Kap running attack trifecta. \u00a0It will also allow them to use the\u00a0Pistol more often later on in the game. \u00a0Making the older Ray Lewis run around a little bit, so that he’s huffing and puffing, rather than screaming, will do wonders for the 49ers offense.<\/p>\n

Key #2: 49ers secondary has to communicate and avoid allowing big plays down the field.<\/strong>
\nThe one knock against the 49ers over the course of the last few weeks is that they’ve been giving up some big plays down the field. \u00a0Early in the Falcons game, a blown assignment by the 49ers secondary allowed Julio Jones to catch a wide open TD. \u00a0The Ravens proved in the AFC Championship Game that they can score using the big play, as they got off quite a few big plays in the second half against the Patriots. Baltimore likes to run a modified hurry up, and it has the potential to get a heck of a lot of snaps off if the defense can’t get off the field. Keeping a close eye on WR Torrey Smith down the field and Anquan Boldin over the middle will be very important.\u00a0\u00a0When playing against any elite defense, most teams that have a big arm quarterback are going to take their shots down the field; hoping they can either make a play or get a flag. \u00a0If the 49ers can bat these deep ball shots down, they will force the Ravens into some early 3rd and longs and some mistakes.<\/p>\n

Key #3: Someone has to get in the face of quarterback, Joe Flacco<\/strong>
\nThough we know that QB Joe Flacco has a history of being cool in the pocket, he has also had some games in which he has folded as well when he is under a lot of pressure. Matt Ryan was very comfortable early in the NFC Championship. \u00a0However, in the second half, they were able to get to him a little bit and force him into some mistakes. \u00a0Clearly the talent is there to get to Flacco. \u00a0DE\u00a0Aldon Smith is one of the best pass rushers in the game and DT Justin Smith is a monster up front as well. \u00a0However, DT Isaac Sopoaga managed to get the only sack of the game against Atlanta. Two weeks ago, LB Patrick Willis had the only sack against QB Aaron Rodgers and the Pack. Aldon Smith, had 19.5 sacks in his first 13 games of the season, but has not recorded a single sack in his last five games. \u00a0He seems to get them in bunches as he recorded 11 sacks over a 4 game span in the midway point of the season. Regardless, it doesn’t have to be Smith, but someone had better get a hand in Flacco’s face and knock him around a little bit.<\/p>\n

Key #4: Other receivers have to step up aside from Michael Crabtree<\/strong>
\nHead Coach John Harbaugh isn’t a fool by any stretch of the imagination. He knows that WR Michael Crabtree is going to get the ball thrown his way quite a bit, as Crabtree really is the only outstanding receiver that the team has at its disposal. The Texas Tech Red Raider caught 15 passes for 176 yards and two TD in the playoffs thus far. \u00a0He was largely blanketed by a bevy of Atlanta defensive backs in the NFC Championship (opening things up for a big game from Vernon Davis). No matter what the Baltimore defense throws at Crabtree, he’ll get his catches, but someone else has to step it up. Don’t discount guys like WR Randy Moss and TE Delanie Walke. Though the two only combined for four catches and 66 yards, they were all in clutch spots for the offense. It’s not a matter of getting 100 yards out of Davis, Moss, or anyone else in the lineup, it’s just that a few guys need to make a few big plays to help Kaepernick win his first Superbowl.<\/p>\n

Key #5: The 49ers’ front seven absolutely cannot miss tackles<\/strong>
\nRB Ray Rice is going to be coming and coming strong at the San Francisco defense, and he forces as many missed tackles of linebackers as any running back in the league with his low center of gravity. TE Dennis Pitta and WR Anquan Boldin also have the ability to bowling over unsuspecting members of the secondary to boot. San Fran is one of the best tackling teams in football, and it comes all over the field. This is the second straight year that Head Coach Jim Harbaugh has had his 49ers in the Top 5 in the league in tackles, and that has to hold true in the Super Bowl. If Rice is shaking tackles left and right, the Niners are going to be in some trouble. They have to continue to wrap up at the point of attack no matter who has the football. If they do that, Baltimore is going to have a heck of a time just trying to move the pigskin.<\/p>\n
