Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs gave a funny take on what he's looking for in the "Harbaugh Bowl," which features John Harbaugh coaching against his younger brother, Jim.

 

"Regardless of the end result, I can’t wait to see the handshake," Suggs joked. "That’s going to be awesome."

 

Suggs, of course, was poking fun at Jim Harbaugh's now enthusiastic/aggressive handshake with Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz that nearly resulted in an on-field fight.

 

Suggs, though, was serious when he talked about the importance of giving his coach some family bragging rights.

 

"We really want to win bad for him," Suggs said. "Everybody saw the ESPN special during the offseason with them two. We kind of saw them get after each other like they did when they were little. It’s going to be fun to be part of another sibling rivalry."

I would love to see John take his brother down and then stand over him doing his best Suggs Sack Pose.

This game has a playoff game feel to it.

 

Thanksgiving night, national TV, 2 brothers as HC's going at it, 2 playoff contenders, amazing 49'ers turnaround story,... solid, physical defenses and two 7th ranked scoring offenses.

Both teams will come out totally fired up and it should be a 60 minute snot knocker.

 

Do the Ravens stay in 1st place in the North or drop to 3rd? A lot is at stake.

 

Stopping Frank Gore will be the key to the day for the Ravens and that is one huge challenge. The Ravens have let 2 RB's run all over them in 2 of their losses.

 

The 49'ers don't let anybody run on them. They have a very solid front 4 so Ray Rice and the O line have their biggest test of the 2011 season in front of them.

 

It could end up a low scoring affair and come down to field goals... both kickers are good, but ther 49'ers kicker is soild on 50+ yarders.
