Baltimore 16-9 seems about right.
The impossible only takes longer….

Baltimore is built perfect for the playoffs, their O line will make the difference, as it does in most games.
Two Rookie QB's win this weekend fellas. All they have to do is handle the clock and hand the ball off.

Ravens should win because : 1.They stop the RUN-even the Giants (the only team with success ty) did not have a 100 yard rusher
2. The run the ball and control the clock.
Most successfull playoff teams STOP THE RUN and CONTROL THE BALL.
And don t worry about Joe Flacco...He has the third best road QB rating in the league. As long as the Ravens do not turn it over they should win.

Anyone that has watched the Phins the last couple weeks has watched the Cheifs and Jets dice them up on the ground. The Ravens power running game will eat up yards and clock. Flacco may be a rookie, but he doesn't turn the ball over, and Ravens use trick plays as actual tricks, not as part of their base offense. Miami has overacheived, and in the few games they have had turnover problems they lost, aka against Balt.
If you can still get the Ravens -3 take em, if it goes over 4 I'd be iffy.
I am a Dolphins fan and do pay attention to their games. Not trying to be bias but please if you are going to post something make sure you are posting true statements. You better go back and check the stats on the Jets rushing yds against the Dolphins.
Channing Crowder their leading tackler at the time was out for the Chiefs game and was missed obviously due to the yardage gained in that game. He was back for the Jets game and as far as " dicing " the Dolphins defense.... you better go check again.
As someone already mentioned. Ferguson was out for the 1st Ravens/Dolphins match up and his replacement Solai was also out on suspension for that game as well. So the third string DT were in the game with little rotation.
Anyway....
Dolphins have come a long way from 1-15 to AFC East champs. It's going to be hard for them to establish a running game against a very stingy Ravens defense.
The Dolphins have done better as underdogs this season, so what better way to have it than to have them as underdogs at home.
Very tough game for my Dolphins but win or lose I'm still proud of the Dolphins no matter what.
GO DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think we need to all look at this cards game, and use some of the
information for tomrrows balt/mia game. ryan made some rookie mistakes
today, and the same can happen to flacco on the road tomorrow
as well. warner is a savy veteran and pennigton is as well. now i
realize there is a huge difference between the falcons and ravens
defense - but balt is on the road where they allow 21ppg. not that
stout. im pretty sure i'll just stick with the low, but something to
think about for a lot of you who are backing baltimore. 70% of the
public is on the ravens, yet the line has hardly budged from the opener
of 3.

Dude, I know we had our differences in the past, but this is a great post..I mean you really hit the nail on the head. The Miami Def and special teams as played well this year and the Dolphins. I know you can't over look the Ravens DEF but don't look at this game as an easy winner by taking the Ravens.
