2. Ravens just played the master of the "nu huddle" and gave up 21 points.
3. Flacco is playing like a man on a mission. He is not at all nervous about going against Brady. He plays his best in big games lately.
4. Rice & Pierce are running great together. Pierce will be fine for this game.
5. Offensive line is playing lights out right now. Bryant is playing great football at left tackle. He is fresh and is playing for 1 more big pay day. Line is off the charts right now.
5. Skill players from Jones running back kickoffs to Smith , Bolden & Pitta making tough catches. On fire right now.
6. Tucker anything inside 52 yards are points. Strong leg and confident. Rookie nails a 47 yarder in 2 degree temps in 2x overtime. MONEY.
7. Defensive is healthy, focused and have ALL bought into Ray Lewis and getting him that ring.
The way the Ravens have played the Pats the last 2 games they've seen Ray Rice and Joe Flacco have great games confidence wont be a problem.
Ravens are healthy , rested (bye week in week 17 pretty much) and riding a wave of emotion U would be a fool to bet against that.
Ravens by 10 in my unbiased opinion.
Seems very biased to me.
2. Maybe in the past Manning was the master of the no huddle, but now Brady is the Goat. They have different styles Manning runs the no huddle but waits at the line for about 20 seconds, making it easy for defenses to make calls, Brady on the other hand broke an NFL record for most snaps per game.
4. What makes you think Pierce will be fine? The fact that he guarantees that he will play? Pierce left last weeks game and didnt return, and also missed practiced today. If you consider that fine I would love to hear what you have to say about Lewis and Suggs.
7. Defense is healthy and focused? LMFAO. It's the AFC championship you don't think both teams will be focused? and healthy? When they met in week 3, Lewis and Haloti Ngata were healthy, and Webb played. Now, Webb is out, Lewis and Ngata are banged up.
You will probably counter with Ray Lewis had 17 tackles... But zero TFLs and also had zero pass deflections, he must of had at least 5 or 6 balls thrown his way. If you're going to tell me the Ngata is healthy, then he had the biggest drop off for a d lineman I have ever seen.
Finally Ravens are healthy and rested? I previously stated how they are not healthy, especially on defense where it is most important. You have to be high to say they are rested, you think only playing 1 Quarter 3 weeks has an effect? Of course not, they just played 9 Quarters in the past two weeks, and 164 plays on defense. Can you please explain to me how that is rested?
To say you're being objective is literal insulting everybodys intelligence. Im not a fan of either team, so I CAN look at this objectively. I have no problem with having faith in your team, but please don't tell people to take the Ravens just because your are a fan. Your analysis is filled with baised assumptions and lies.
Im not telling anybody not to take the Ravens. I have a small lean towards the Ravens (only if I can get them plus 10), but Im staying away. May take the over on the Ravens TT.
BTW when you say Ravens by 10 I really hope you mean to cover 10.
