OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas offered a confident take when asked if Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers will be a Super Bowl preview.
"You think the 49ers are going to the Super Bowl?," Thomas said Wednesday. "It could be. Let's see. ... When the Super Bowl comes, whoever we play, they're going to be in trouble."
This marked the first time Thomas made such a Super Bowl prediction but it comes in a timely fashion.
The Ravens (9-2) overtook the New England Patriots (10-1) as favorite to win the Super Bowl, according to ESPN's Football Power Index.
