Ravens roll.

Great pick for you last week. Not sure this time...

Pats suucckkkkkkk

I think the talent on the two teams are comparable, but with the Ravens knowing that this is Rays last run, there is no doubt they will leave every ounce of what they have on the field. And i think it will be enough to get the job done

 

[powerchord86]

It will be a good one for sure. Ravens put on a heck of a show last weekend.

Pats are too good for Ravens, especially with the way the Ravens defense has been playing. Pats could put up 50, in this one.

Their meetings dating back to the '04 season:

Sep 23, 2012 BAL 31, NE 30
Jan 22, 2012 BAL 20, @NE 23
Oct 17, 2010 BAL 20, @NE 23
Jan 10, 2010 BAL 33, @NE 14
Oct 4, 2009 BAL 21, @NE 27
Dec 3, 2007 BAL 24, NE 27
Nov 28, 2004 BAL 3, @NE 24

From their week 3 meeting:
Brady - 28-41 for 335 yards, 1 TD, O INT. Sacked twice.
Flacco - 28-39 for 382 yards, 3 TD's, I INT. Wasn't sacked.

From last year's AFC CG game:
Brady - 22-36 for 239 yards, 0 TD's, 2 INT's. Sacked once.
Flacco - 22-36 for 306 yards, 2 TD's, I INT. Sacked 3 times.

The Ravens defense has always given Brady the most trouble than any other D he faces and history has shown this game will more than likely be decided by 1 possession.

Remember how gassed the Ravens defense was at the end of the game against Denver? Well guess what Brady and company are gonna run 2 minute drill all game long and wear them into submission. Close 1st half and Pats roll on to another SB. The fact that Manning would not throw the ball on last drive will not happen with Brady.

Bank on it.

RayRay is making his last run, though, and I think that's going to be a motivating factor. The key is Flack - guy played the best I've seen from him last week. OTOH, Pats are playing D this year. Lot of ways this one could go.

Remember how the altitude at Mile High Stadium and the hurry-up offense Peyton runs was gonna wear down the Ravens D by the end of the 3rd quarter and the Broncos were going to win in a blowout like every NFL "expert" on tv predicted? The Ravens D had more energy after 5 quarters than the Broncos D did.
Good for you that the Pats have a coach and QB that aren't overly confident like you and the rest of New England fans seem to be.

Oh, and Brady's last 4 games against Baltimore: 4 TD's and 7 INT's.

Billboard counts down Ray Lewis 'retirement party' - NFL.com

I really hope the Ravens can make them eat this.

why in the hell,do a shitload of people not remember this?And you're spot on with all the people that had the Broncos dominating the Ravens.

hard to put a point spread on the heart and emotion that Baltimore is playing with right now.

I have no idea. I was surprised to say the least when I saw the big spread given to the Pats. This season has been full of surprises, so who knows, the Pats may very well win by a comfortable margin, but I'd be surprised if they do.

I HATE Brady and Pats, but I hate the Ravens.

I'm hoping for an ice storm, call it in a tie. Atl vs SF SB.

LOL. I understand. One of my best friends is a huge Cleveland fan and he made no bones about it who he's rooting for. He doesn't like the Pats but he absolutely despises the Ravens and he's pulling for the Pats Sunday.

Never root for division rivals, especially Pittsburgh.
