Game #9 Ravens vs Patriots 11/15/2020 8:20 PM NBC

I've watched the last three Ravens games and they are not the Ravens of 2019. Talk about Jeckyl and Hyde.. Lamar Jackson is not running anywhere near the same as last year and they do not have a deep threat.

I would say that they prime for a huge upset The Patriots have about a 38% chance of shocking the Ravens.

Dobbins is a must start though I would assume

Maybe, just maybe last nights win lit a fire under this Patriots team.

I'm not expecting a win but I can see them pulling it off

I think that this will be another Seattle type of game.

Ravens don't have the passing game in place because of injuries and the Patriots front seven seem to be improving a little, not a lot, a little in their run defense. If they can force LJ to throw more than they want, the pats could hang close.

I have a feeling it's going to be a nail biter.......................... Ravens 27 Patriots 24 and the Pats die with the ball at the end.

This years Patriots look like last years Patriots without the defense.

Pats 27
Ravens 20

Can't say I have a good feeling about this one.

Maybe the win yesterday sparked something? I like the run and shorter pass Offense NE employed. We need another week of that with a little sense of urgency thrown in.

Would like to see a healthy crew get back on the field.

The Oddsmakers see this one as a nail biter. Ravens are -7 against the Patriots. One bookie thinks the Pats will give them more problems than they expect and has set the line at -5. Those guy are in the business of making money and they don't give away points.

BREAKING NEWS 11/12/2020

Ravens have reported that one player has Covid-19 but will not release his name.

league rules require that any player who has contracted the virus must be identified by 4:00 pm on Thursday of the week. This is because games start on Thursday night .

Rumors are flying that it's Lamar Jackson, but we won't know until this afternoon.

Boston Media is going bugfuk and tweets and alerts are flying everywhere. I got the alert on my phone about twn minutes ago. Can't find anything other than "Reports from Baltimore are that a player has been tested positive for Covid-19"

No reason why the Ravens couldn't have announced this earlier today. It's as if they wanted to cause a stir and get some media attention.

From Ravens.com 8 minutes ago:

Ravens cornerback Iman Marshall was placed on the team's COVID-19 reserve list, according to Field Yates with ESPN. Marshall had been on the injured reserve list since training camp began.

Bookies dont care about the score the line goes up or down on how people have bet and the line is adjusted accordingly

No one watching the game??

Patriots are playing very good ball in the first half. The only bad thing was the Folk missed extra point.

13-10 Patriots at the half.

I'm going to bed and will watch the second half with coffee in the morning.

Have a good one and enjoy the rest of the game.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Watching.

Yes NE playing surprisingly well against a tough opponent.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Nice win in ugly conditions. That Harris kid might be a keeper.

Two factors on the Folk miss: 1) He had that rush from the right that was nearly getting to the ball all night; 2) I think a gust grabbed it. It looked to me to be tracking left like the first one, then went hard left before resuming straight(ish).

Did Byrd even play in this game? Meyers clearly showed up and designing trick plays for him is a good sign he's being embraced.

 

[BigKen]

Right now the Patriots are on track to be the least penalized team since 1965.

One thing I've noticed is that the DBs are playing much cleaner with Gilmore on the sideline. No DPI, no holding. I also noticed that the defense is tackling legs and not shoulders. If this team keeps playing mistake free football, they might just sneak into the playoffs and be a spoiler.

Have to give Cam credit. He played an excellent game in miserable weather and the team seems to be buying into a Cam Newton on a short leash.

For some reason Lamar Jackson seemed to be on a leash last night too.

Not all that happy with the pitch the ball 5 yards in the backfield the last offensive go around with game on line with the weather conditions like that.

Patriots got super lucky with that 16 yard "fumble" with the terrible hike back to Jackson

Overall satisfied with the play, especially with those conditions. Harris shows what he truly can do when given a chance.

I'd agree with this game feeling as much like the Ravens lost it as the Pats won it. Fortunately the impact on the standings is the same.

The snap to Ingram was laughable, as was the call in the first place... Then Ingram seemed unaware that whether he fell on it or if he tried to make a play and let the Pats recover, would lead to the same outcome.
