There’s nothing like the expert opinion of the broadcast company who is hosting the Super Bowl.  The experts for CBS have announced who they think will win the game and, despite the odds favoring the San Francisco 49ers, it’s the Baltimore Ravens who come out on top.

The only two to dissent were Dave Richard and the prediction machine.  Everyone else is defying the odds and going with Joe Flacco and Ray Lewis.  Maybe seeing Lewis and Ed Reed go out on top is just too good of a story to pass up.

Curiously, only two of the eight (not counting the prediction machine) picked Baltimore to win the AFC Championship.  They won over a lot of support after beating the New England Patriots in Foxboro.  CBS’ experts picked the Niners six to two over the Atlanta Falcons.

Here are the picks:

Pete Prisco:  Ravens

Clark Judge:  Ravens

Mike Freeman:  Ravens

Jason La Canfora:  Ravens

Dave Richard:  Niners

Will Brinson:  Ravens

Josh Katzowitz:  Ravens

Ryan Wilson:  Ravens

Prediction Machine:  Niners
