NFL Live predicts the outcome of Super Bowl XLVII.
NEW ORLEANS -- Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh played an inspirational highlight video for his team Saturday night in the team's final meeting at the team hotel before Super Bowl XLVII that showed the big hits, big plays and key moments from throughout the season.
From the battle of the Harbaughs to the final game of Ray Lewis' career, ESPN has you covered for all things Niners and Ravens at Harbaugh's message to the team was simple: This is the way we got to the Super Bowl, and this is the way we win the Super Bowl.
The San Francisco 49ers' final meeting Saturday night, meanwhile, featured speeches from coachJim Harbaugh and wide receiver Randy Moss, who knows the emotional pain of losing the Super Bowl as he did with the Patriots in failing to complete a perfect season in 2007.
Jim Harbaugh also introduced the 49ers to Colonel Jim Minnick, a friend he's had since the eighth grade. Minnick encouraged the players to leave it all on the field for their teammates, play together and be prepared to overcome adversity because nothing ever goes as planned, offering examples from his military career.
Visitors for the Ravens included New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and newly-inducted Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden, who played for the Ravens from 1996-2007.
Christie met with quarterback Joe Flacco in the team hotel. Both are New Jersey natives and graduates of the University of Delaware. Ogden's visit generated a lot of excitement in the lobby from fans and players alike.
One 49ers player told ESPN that everybody is well prepared and ready for the game.
"There is nothing but pure excitement,'' the player said.
The 49ers have no obligations until buses leave for the Superdome at 3 p.m. ET. Early buses for the Ravens will depart for the stadium at the same time.
