It's my opinion, and I'm a Steelers fan, but I think they get it done.
Who has Minny beat other than the emotional GB game, and GB has issues as well. If I'm wrong, I'll come back and admit it.
Baltimore will focus on AD and make Favre do it.
AD hasn't had 100 yard game in weeks!
Favre is due for some turnovers. He has never had this long of a stretch with only 2 picks.
I think Minny falls behind early and Farve presses!
Baltimore 27
Minny 20
Good luck to all!
Losing 2 in a row means nothing. Streaks (winning or losing) happens.
Detroit lions lost all 16 games in a season. Things happen.
Minni won't dominate this game but I think they will set the tone. For now, Minnesota has to better QB and better RB, and WR's
Balitmore Def is still superb but I think they are getting a little old. No doubt Baltimore run D will most likely stop their runs on the 3 and short. To me it should come down to can Baltimore predict Brett Favre tendencies. For the last 2 games Baltimore has a Defensive TD that keeps them within reach. But they get burned on plays.
When I watched them vs NE, brady and company had so many 3rd down conversions. Then I watched Cincinnati played a very good close game with them. Yes Bengals got good. But did they get good enough to expose the Baltimore secondaries? Did Bengals get good enough to get crucial stops? Benson great running against Baltimore was a fluke in my opinion but when they play versus good quarter backs, they seem to get exposed. For the last 4 weeks Baltimore played 3 quality QB (palmer, brady, rivers) and 1 bad QB (quinn/anderson)
Palmer and Brady got 250+ yards and rivers had an amazing 400+ yards.
I don't see Baltimore winning at all. It will be 3 in a row and Jared Allen will get to Flacco, maybe even get 2 sacks on him.
Bet the house? No. But I see minni controlling this game and keeping 1 step ahead of balt.
Minni will come out strong at home.
