Colin Kaepernick's feet will be Super happy

49ers (-4) over Ravens

Matchups, matchups, matchups. That's what the wise guys and sharps here in Vegas always talk about, and your very own wiseguy, Double V, has found a matchup that will be the key to unlocking a Super Bowl winner.

Speaking of winners, just hope you have been riding the Vegas Vic best bet money train for a while. Last week, we had another bestie winner, maybe the easiest of the extended run, as the Ravens bounced into Super Sunday with a 28-13 victory as a 7 1/2-point underdog.

The matchup that we are gonna key on is the dual-threat quarterback. Here's the research: In a game at the Linc on Sept. 26, a healthy Michael Vick was good for 371 passing yards as the Birds squeezed past the Ravens, 24-23. Vick had just 34 yards on the ground, but the constant threat of him taking off scared the bejesus out of Baltimore. The Eagles outgained the Ravens (486-325), killed in first downs (26-17) and won the time of possession battle (34:21 to 25:39). In the only other matchup with that kind of QB, it was a 31-28 loss for Baltimore at Washington with Robert Griffin III leading the charge. The III completed 15 of 26 passes for 246 yards and rushed for 34 yards - just like Vick - before getting knocked out in the fourth quarter. The Redskins also outgained the Ravens (420-359 yards), won first downs (22-18) and led in TOP (34:01 to 29:22). The takeaway is that Baltimore has trouble with QBs that have happy feet! These teams did not meet in 2012, but back in 2011, the Ravens (at home, with the key being home) beat San Francisco, 16-6. But that was with Alex Smith at QB, not Colin Kaepernick.

Speaking of Kaepernick, did you see those fastballs he was throwing around the field against Atlanta - inside a dome by the way. The kid has a huge arm. He had 92 mph mustard back in high school. Vic does not have any tattoos, or much of a bicep, but when Colin throws that first TD, I will be "Kaepernicking" at some hotel on The Strip. He can crush you with his legs, as he did to the Packers when he ran wild for 181 yards, or pick you apart with his arm, as he did to the Falcons (16 of 21, 233 yards).

Here are your spread stats: The 49ers finished the season at 10-7-1. They were 5-3 on the road and 8-6-1 as a favorite. The Ravens finished the season with a 9-9-1 spread log. They were 5-4-1 on the road and 4-4 as a dog.

Before you put the paper down, a quick visit to Prop City baby! When we first came to Vegas, back in the mid-1980s, there were only a handful of prop bets. Now, you can find some places that offer over 500 props, and you get kinda dizzy. However, as always, Vic has done his homework.

Let's get the silly out of the way. You have to lay a ton, but there's a prop on whether both Harbaugh brothers will wear hats at the Super Bowl. If you want yes, which I do, you have to put up $900 to win back $100. That's as close to a lock as you will ever find, but very expensive.

Looking for the first Super Bowl overtime game ever, I'll put up $100 to win back $800.

Also like Randy Moss, he is after all, the best WR ever - in his mind - to score the first TD, and that will be another hundy to win back $2500.

Now the final prop - and my largest wager - which will stand as my de facto Best Bet: Which team will make the longest FG? I'm taking the Ravens at -$140, and here's why. Justin Tucker is the leg, from the right side, for the Ravens, and he has been simply amazing in his rookie year. Tucker hit on 30 of 33 FGs. He was 8-8 from 20/29 yards, 8-8 from 30/39 yards, 10-13 from 40/49 yards, and probably the most impressive stat, 4-4 from 50+ yards (which included a 56-yard bomb). The opposing leg, a left leg, belongs to the Niners David Akers, and he has been lousy. Akers hit only 29 of 42 overall, and was awful from distance. He was just 7-13 from 40/49 yards and 2-6 from 50+ yards. He even had to have a kicking competition with Billy Cundiff when the playoffs started. Cundiff was eventually released, but the old Eagle Akers seems to have lost his mojo. Put me down for $420 to win back $300.
