AFC Championship Game: Baltimore Ravens (4) @ New England Patriots (2)

[55]

HUGE game for more than just the chance to go to the Big Game this year.

This could be Ray Lewis' swan song. This could also put Brady in the Super Bowl for the 6th time in just 12 years. That is beyond insane when you think about it. Seriously, just try to wrap your head around that.

The Ravens beat the Pats by a 31-30 score in Baltimore this year, but in the playoffs anything can happen.

I expect the line to open somewhere in the neighborhood of New England -8 and the over/under around 50 or so.

This should be a great game, just like the NFC title game this year.

I picked the Ravens to win the Super Bowl so yeah...that tells you who I think will win.

It's so tough for me to pick against the Pats at home in the playoffs. They are 11-2 now with Brady at QB.

You're a sneaky one, my man.

I got Ravens-Niners in the Super Bowl, no way that's changing now. 34-31 Ravens.

I don't care for either team, but I will say this is a tough one to call.

Last year Baltimore came within a missed fg of winning, and that kicker (Cundiff) is gone.

But NE looks like they always do; dominating. But now with Gronkowski out yet again ( I heard breaking news he's done for the year), who knows..

Again, even though I live in Vegas, this is why I don't bet on games.

Baltimore was the last team I wanted to see on the AFC side of things, but I'm still confident in the Pats.

Pretty much every time these two meet it ends up being an intense, close game that comes down to the wire. I expect nothing different this time around. Should be a great game to watch.

ESPN is gonna be so insufferable this week

And this is all I can think about right now.

We came back. We went to work. We get the opportunity to finish by returning to the same place of defeat and pain.

Is there a week they are sufferable?

ATH and PTI are not bad. But Ray Lewis + The Patriots = ESPN ugh fest

Only way it could be worse is if Tebow was somehow on one of these teams

Raven's D is not what it used to be. They also rely on a running game, which New England has defended pretty well this year. I look for the pats to win by a couple of touchdowns.

Ravens luck runs out here. Patriots are too good right now.

Go Ravens.

Go Ravens.

I'm with you my friend. I made a bet with my friends in the preseason on who was gonna get to the Super Bowl and I picked Ravens-Niners. I'm gonna be rich!

I actually think Broncos-Pats would have gotten more media play than Pats-Ravens. If it was Brady vs Manning again you know ESPN would have spent all week hyping it up and showing highlights from their match-ups over the years.
