>> 49ers will prevail.

>> okay. there's a question of margin there. we might get in to that later in the show.

>> i think they would go above the 3 1/2 spread.

>> you take the favorite and the over?

>> yes, i would.

>> i have to tell you. trying to find something to get interested in here. i watch the super bowl every year. we're all red blooded americans here.

>> eh.

>> i'm kind of bored by this super bowl . i got to be honest. neither of the teams really does it. i consider the ravens an ill legitimate franchise at the birth.

>> right.

>> right.

>> the browns never the same. there's justice there. yet since the ravens came back in 1996 i have considered them a boring franchise.

>> agreed.

>> come on, man.

>> san francisco doesn't do much for me either. the compelling super bowl in my lifetime, arizona made this run to the super bowl .

>> yeah.

>> worse team in the nfl with the veteran quarterback, made this exciting improbable run. good story. the packer answer the steelers.

>> that was good.

>> rookie quarterback. old school hall of famer.

>> pishposh and the '80s and '90s. 13-year winning streak. it was david and goliath .

>> sure.

>> three dynasties in the nfc. cowboys, the noiners or the reds --

>> packers. packers.

>> oh okay.

>> before the packers.

>> this is when i fell in love with the redskins.

>> every year a 40-point game but a david versus goliath game every year.

>> one thing about this one is both teams play well from behind and doesn't matter if you take a nice little lead. the other team can stay together, crunch back. get them, maybe a lead. both of them came back i think in the championship game . i think it will be a good game.

>> i don't like the ravens. i'm going to root for the 49ers even though they beat my packers in the playoffs but i think the more important question, krystal, who's the hotter harbau harbaugh ?

>> obviously.

>> people are wanting to know, that right? that's why they're tuning in to "the cycle" to see that meted out.

>> adjudicate that right now.

>> you can put that question away right now. i'm going to pick --

>> we can make a definitive judgment on this right here and now?

>> science. science.

>> bam. science? got it.

>> i'm going with jim who's the 49ers coach and the younger harbaugh .

>> taller.

>> yeah. sharper features which i like.

>> yeah.

>> you said that john looked kinder. i agree. that's a turnoff to me. i think jim -- jim looks a little meaner which i like. and i'll say got the coaching debut western kentucky , hilltoppers, awesome. a woody hayes trophy. big ten player of the year. and just all around good guy.

>> that is preposterous.

>> erroneous.

>> absurd things i have heard come out of your mouth. obviously, john is the superior and more attractive brother. number one, last time the brothers met he was victorious.

>> thanksgiving, right.

>> already beating you 1-0. played in college, as well. he didn't need the glory of being a quarterback.

>> or couldn't handle it.

>> i thought he was hot.

>> more seasoned, more mature. kind face.

>> by less than a year.

>> obviously john is the hotter.

>> i think i have the argument decider for us right here. let's roll tape.

>> no! that's jim harbaugh . what is he doing at the max?

>> dug! he's having lunch with me.

>> quarterback for the indianapolis colts is your cousin?

>> too bad you don't want to meet him.

>> screech, is that you? i didn't recognize you under all those muscles.

>> i've been working out. you should try it, skinny.

>> jim --

>> supposed to be screech's cousin?

>> yes.

>> no!

>> that was when he was captain comeback .

>> yes.

>> he had --

>> a playmacker. a quarterback.

>> came out of michigan. jim harbaugh and then went to the bears and famous -- mike ditka was the first coach and ditka with an epic sideline explosion ripping in to him on the side loon and then he's with the colts and seems like a washed up quarterback --

>> and then the chargers.

>> no. 1995 colts. comeback win. every game, the coach, jim harbaugh , the quarterback. they got to the afc title game in pittsburgh. ultimate underdog. harbaugh makes a pass in. kept them out of the super bowl .

>> you are team jim ?

>> saved by the bell . '95 colts.

>> sounds like to me.

>> i'm the opposite of whoever toure picks.

>> i just -- i appreciate that. i love how you girls -- i mean you two ladies. not you. you two ladies are talking about the dorr i can coaches. not about ray lewis , not about ed reid. there's good looking guys on the field. talk about them.

>> i'm a packer fan. i don't care about the teams. i have to find some other point of entree in to being interested in this game. they're hot, good looking guys.

>> i'm a redskins fan and a beltway rivalry between the redskins and the ravens but i'll cheer for the raifbs. my daughter is in to them because the color is purple and may as well go with it.

>> and john.

>> absolutely.

>> we are rooting for the niners.

>> i'm --

>> hotter harbaugh .

>> i'm not rooting for the hotter harbaugh .

>> get on the ravens bandwagon.

>> ill legitimate franchise.

>> i don't know how --

>> they were stolen from cleveland . cleveland 's not been the same since.

>> i will say -- i was just with some friends from cleveland and they still feel that very deeply.

>> yes. an they should because, you know, did they make that vote on art no dell yet? keep him out of the hall of fame .
