If it's true?  Boldin and Caldwell confirmed it.  #Clown

How can you like -10 and call it sucker bait  when your showing the possibilty of the Broncos only winning by 8? No sense.

I've been watching Flacco all year looking for just what he's made of and my first impression was what a horrible step back he took this season.  But after I looked closely I saw that he looks great as long as he has time.  The Ravens O line is healthier than they've been all year.  The negatives that we see on Flacco: being so inaccurate, throwing high and out of bounds, are all on downs where he was pressured and the receiver wasn't open.  I thought he looked like he had no clue until I watched carefully and saw that he was always 1 step from being sacked or he was being hit while he was throwing.  Instead of throwing picks in those situations, he's throwing it away.  Taking the hit to his stats to protect the ball.  Unfortunately the Ravens then get behind on the downs and they look horrible during those periods. But if you look carefully it always came down to what the O line was doing on the field.  When they were healthy the Ravens looked like they could score on anyone.  When the O line sucks they look like high schoolers. That's why the Ravens offense is so unpredictable.  Sometimes they look like world beaters running a hurry up offense and sometimes they stink.  But I think the O line is solid now and the Ravens will show you tomorrow how potent their offense can be.  Yes Peyton will pick Ray apart over the middle where he is now vulnerable but I'll take the 10 points my book is now offering. Too easy to take the Broncos and pretend they are world beaters.   Not yet.

Look at the Patriots line. The Monday night line started at -3.5 and now -9 for rematch. Obviously bc of the blow out win.

Don't forget what happened 2 years ago when the Pats blew out the Jets in Foxborough and then laid an egg in the Playoff rematch.

Something to think about. These dogs have value


While I was typing I was thinking the exact same thing.  Gotta go with both dogs just because of the value.  All based on public perception from regular season game. Different season now.

If your argument is that Flacco is just as good or better than Manning then that's your opinion but to think prior postseason record is any way to compare these two is silly.

There is a reason Flacco wasn't extended by the Ravens in the offseason you don't know if decent or terrible Joe will show.

This is the first time Manning has a top 5 defense behind him, we'll see if that has any impact on this winning %.



They'll sign him for 2 seasons and go all out to get Johnny Football.  Just my Ravens' fan gut talking here.

Ravens are going to need either a close defensive game or a few turnovers to take this one. I won't be at all surprised if they cover the line, but winning outright I just don't see. Flacco on the road + Manning + Elevation factor = Doom.

Some good points-
Manning has been pedestrian in the playoffs.
Manning is wearing a glove and has been preparing for the cold for the last three weeks (just in case)
I am unsure the significance of the glove but mentally he has to feel good he has been working on it and he has to feel ready.
The Broncos get back Kuper , who may very well be their best O Lineman (very underrated), this is a big addition for them.
Broncos beat a lot of easy teams on route to their record. They did do it convincingly but they will have trouble in the very cold with a talented, motivated and physical team like the Ravens.
Hope it helps

Yeah, and he's still worse than Alex Smith!

You do realize how ridiculous it is to say you have ZERO bias and then hammer off 20 out of 50 reasons why the Ravens win/cover...

You, my friend, are a homer in denial.

Can't tell you what it feels like for a Ravens season ticket holder to know before a playoff game it could be the last time you watch Ray Lewis play a game.  As I said before, this is no lock, but I see enough reasons to bet Baltimore +9.  I wish all of you luck and leave you with one video I watch before every road game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_2aFfsPPhg

Thanks for sharing the video.  I've been a Ravens fan for as long as i can remember, with Ray being my favorite player in all sports.  I sure hope they pull it out, but it's going to be tough. 

Damn that video has my blood pumpin!

Manning, himself, is noted for an atrocious playoff record in games with the temperature below 40 degrees. He's 0-3 in these games and a combined 64 for 120 for 612 yards with one touchdown and seven interceptions. His passer rating was below 40 in two of those games.

All 3 games were on the road and 2 of those game were in New England

Stuckey is the man here and I will be following him into battle with BAL



Just FYI -- if Stuckey and BEE line up on the same side, that maybe should tell you something

I am on top of the world, but would never talk garbage after an NFL playoff game.  Tough way to go out for Broncos fans who are great, great football fans after such a great season

By the way, this thread sums up covers.  You create a bold thread and win..no biggie.  You lose...you get crucified.  God, I missed the immaturity on this board.

Ohio State +2 loooooooooooooooot tomorrow in college hoops.
