SNF New England Patriots(1-1) @ Baltimore Ravens(1-1)

[Caveman24]

Last year in AFC championship game something bad happen.If I told you that a pro-bowl kicker misses a cheap shot from 32 yrds to advance to overtime you would think I'm lying right?Nope I'm not Billy Cundiff missed the opportunity to send last year team to OT and possibly the Superbowl.Fast forward this year both teams are 1-1 alot of experts are predicting a rematch in the AFC championship.Both teams proved the experts right week 1 but failed week 2.Patriots lost TE Aaron Hernandez for at least the next up-coming weeks and signed TE Kellen Wislow they lost to the Cardinals Stephen Gostkowski missed the game winning field goal.And for the Ravens Michael Vick showed that D he has the clutch gene and led the Eagles to win with his game winning rushing TD.So who you got Patriots or Ravens? My prediction Ravens 25-24

Huge game. Both teams coming off disappointing losses. Ray Lewis will get 4 sacks in a 27-21 Ravens win.

Ravens at home, Hernandez out for the pats? Yeah I see the Ravens finally showing a significant pass rush, and winning the game by 10.

24-14

I am hoping, we normally come back from our losses pretty well.

Ray Lewis has played 16 seasons in the NFL and has only had 4 or more sacks in an entire season twice.

He is an ILB in a 3-4 system and is much better in coverage than he is blitzing on passing downs.

Four in one game? That's asking a lot from a guy that doesn't rush the passer all that much.

4 sacks is a reach maybe you meant the team getting 4 sacks but 1 guy 1 game naw ill pass

Yeah it might be low balling, but I just see their run game getting shut down early... Once that happens their offense wont be so unpredictable, our corners are GREAT at shutting down receivers... And well yeah. Turnover city.

If Arizona could hold them to 18, I don't feel 14 is out of the realm of possibility.

Anyways, Baltimore almost always seems to find a way to lose to New England in the most heart-breaking fashion possible, so I'm going with that outcome.

Both teams need to win here. The Patriots just lost to the Cardinals.... The Ravens were winning against the Eagles for the majority of the game, but some poor throws by Flacco cost them the win. I think the Ravens will win here, not because they're my team, but if the Cardinals can get good pressure on Brady, I'd bet the Ravens can too.

[slickdtc]

I got the Ravens. That's just my gut there. Either way, someone's headed for 1-2. I just think Baltimore is more focused this year, on a mission. And the motivation of last year's crushing defeat.

Re: SNF New England Patriots(1-1) @ Baltimore Ravens(1-1)

Both teams need a win bad, but I think more so for the Ravens. The Jets are mostly hype, and its not the dolphins' or bills' years YET.

If the Ravens fall to 1-2, it'll be a tough uphill climb the rest of the season, where as the Patriots should be just fine.

That said, I'm predicting the Ravens in a close game. I fear our pash rush and run stopping is going to be poor until Suggs gets back, if ever. Lucky for us, Hernandez is out so that's a big deal, but they still have a lot of threats. I've noticed them begin to build their defense up, and Billicheck truly is a great coach, but that defense has a long way to go. I think Flacco bounces back and Rice has a big day to squeak out a close one at home.

Re: SNF New England Patriots(1-1) @ Baltimore Ravens(1-1)

Last time the Patriots started 1-2 was in 2001 when they won a SB, so I'm fine with the Baltimore win.

All joking aside, I don't see the Patriots pulling this one out. It'll be interesting to see what kind of offense they come out with, but I don't see the defense holding Flacco, Rice and company down long enough for the offense to figure it out.

28-20, Baltimore.

Last time I checked Joe Flacco was still the starting QB for Baltimore. Therefore, I'm picking my New England Patriots.

31-27

So I guess you're saying Flacco is why they lost last year's playoff game. If so I'd hate to see how you feel about Brady bc Flacco severely outplayed him (pretty sure he did the game before that too).

[slickdtc]

Flacco's looked pretty good. I think him and Matt Ryan, and even Mark Sanchez, are really finally comfortable in their offenses. Still think Ryan's the best of them, but Flacco isn't holding his team back like he may have in the past.

Ravens gotta feed Rice. Don't feed Flacco's ego and try to make him look good by passing it a ton. Wear out the Patriots with Rice.
