One Ravens 49ers Super Bowl bet that might be overlooked with all those hundreds of propositions is the moneyline and Baltimore’s ability to win outright. Many believe they can. All online sportsbooks, including Carbon Sports, offer moneyline bets for this game.
Simply put, Baltimore would pay out $155 on a $100 bet or $15.50 for every $10 bet should they win outright against San Francisco. Gamblers are not afforded any insurance from a spread that currently allows the Ravens to lose by a field goal.

No matter how talented of a team the 49ers are, they will become a victim of circumstance -- the Ravens are flying high right now, and nobody can stop them. Whether it's a big day from Ray Rice, a clutch defensive play from an unsung hero, or someone on special teams pulling a rabbit out of a hat, the Ravens have all of the chips falling in their favor.
David Ginsberg of the Associated Press notes:
Torrey Smith just might be the difference in a Super Bowl that will hinge on the 49ers' ability to prevent the Baltimore Ravens from scoring with the long ball.
The Ravens have 17 pass completions of at least 40 yards this season, six of them involving Smith. Sometimes, Smith runs deep just to free up wideout Anquan Boldin or tight end Dennis Pitta or running back Ray Rice underneath, leaving Flacco a variety of viable targets.
Combine all that with a San Francisco defence that gave up 396 yards passing to Atlanta's Matt Ryan in the NFC title game, and it could add up to a very long night for the 49ers.
For anyone who believes the Ravens can beat San Francisco outright, it’s definitely worth a bet on the moneyline with the payout five times greater than with the spread.
