The result in the past two games has been amazing. Flacco is getting time to throw and with his cannon of an arm we are on fire from an offensive standpoint. In Ravens playoff history can you guess what the two biggest offensive games have been. Thats right Indy and now Denver. Scoring 24 and 38 and putting up 440 yds and 480 yds. Please note we would have scored more in the Indy game if Ray Rice dosent fumble twice. Over Flaccos last six playoff game he has thrown for 1,485 yds 12 TDs and 2 INTs for a 101.8 passer rating.
Lets talk D we are the healthiest we have been all yr and the addition of somebody you may not know is Corey Graham who finally got to start when we have injuries in the secondary. Corey had two Ints in the Denver game and with Cary Williams has solidified the secondary. The emergence of Danell Ellerby and Paul Kruger and really helped the D come back from a horrible start. In the two playoff game we have given up 9 and 21 pts. Also please note that in the second half and both OTs in the Denver game this D game up 7 points
I could keep going about how we match up very well with NE we always have. Please check out the last 5 games in the series. Balt is 2-3 SU and 2-2-1 ATS with their losses by 6, 3, 3. The Patriots are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 playoff games and the underdog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings.
Bottom line forget I am a homer from my cappering perspective 9 pts is too high and I have cashed two tickets in the first two playoff games and the Indy ticket being my biggest cash of my life. I rarely play my team but i knew the Denver line was a joke as the indy line was. Brady said it best after they beat Houston. He said "The two best teams are in the AFC championship" he has played both Denver and Balt this year and he lost to Balt.
BALTIMORE +9
This next game to me is a no brainer the better team is SF. Seattle plays half a game and almost wins. If not for some major blunders by Wilson and Carroll in the first half Seattle wins that game. Across the board SF is the stronger team in fact I think they are the best team in the NFL.
The Falcons have major problems with running QBs and they are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 playoff games. Cam Newton threw for 502 yards with four TDs while rushing for 202 and two scores in two games against them in 2012. In last Sunday's 30-28 win over Seattle, Russell Wilson passed for 385 yards with two TDs while running for 60 and a score on seven carries. Kapernick should have a field day.
SF -4
