The 47th Super Bowl will take place Sunday in New Orleans (CBS, 4:30 p.m.) with the Baltimore Ravens playing the San Francisco 49ers.
The 49ers have won the Super Bowl five times, while the Ravens won it once in 2001. This will also be a record tenth time the Super Bowl is in New Orleans. The last Super Bowl in Louisiana was in 2002 as the New England Patriots defeated the Saint Louis Rams 20-17.
Super Bowl XLVII will also be historical because brothers will be coaching against each other for the first time. Jim Harbaugh will take the reigns for San Francisco, with his older brother John Harbaugh in charge of Baltimore.
The Ravens (10-6) led the AFC North, while the 49ers (11-4-1) led the NFC West.

The Calgary Roughnecks and Edmonton Rush were relatively even last night at the Scotiabank Saddledome, before the Roughnecks dominated the fourth and final period.
Leading 9-7 heading into the fourth stanza, the Roughnecks scored seven times and did not give up a goal en route to a 16-7 thrashing of their provincial rival.
With the win, the Roughnecks improve to 7-3, only 1.5 games back of the first place Colorado Mammoth, while the Rush fall to 2-6.
The Roughnecks were led in scoring by forward Shawn Evans, who scored five goals. Evans was the Roughnecks’ number one acquisition in the offseason from the Rochester Knighthawks. Peter McFetridge also notched five points with three goals and two assists.
The Roughnecks also beat the Rush Friday night in Edmonton by a score of 13-10 as Curtis Dickson scored four goals and three assists.
