Patriots (1-1) at Ravens (1-1)
The Patriots lost to the Cardinals last week and their
offense looked pretty abysmal. Receivers were dropping passes, running backs
were stopped short, pass rushers were let through. The special teams play was
nothing to write home about either. The defense on the other hand helped carry
the team for the second week in a row, and if that can keep up New England fans
might be in for another deep playoff run. The Pats don’t normally falter two
weeks in a row making this a very interesting matchup. The Ravens are probably
a top five team in the league despite a sad loss to the Eagles. I still think
Flacco, Rice, and wideouts like Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin are very
dangerous. The defense has weapons that can destroy almost any offensive
threat. The Ravens are a dangerous team, and probably the Patriots biggest
current rival. Vince Wilfork has even said it himself, citing the 2009 playoff
loss as the spark that started it all. This should be a tough physical game,
but I don’t see the Patriots lost two games in a row often, and I don’t see
Brady falter too many times in a season.
Patriots 20 – Ravens 17
