Today the line sits at 3.5 in favor of the Niners, according to OddsShark . We likely won't see it drop any lower than that point now with the biggest game in football set to kickoff just days away.
The Ravens covered in all three playoff games so far, two of those matchups coming against higher seeds on the road. It's easy to see why more people are starting to bet in favor of Baltimore simply based on recent trends.

Teddy the porcupine also predicted the Ravens to win, giving us one more reason to bet the underdog. Keep in mind Teddy correctly picked the Giants last year. You can't argue with those facts.
