They're a strong team, but I'm a) not hundred percent sold on Flacco or b) the running game. That said, if those two perform to expectations, they'll be up there with the Pats, Pitt, the Giants, Philly and (Favre permitting) the Vikes.

Last year the Ravens went 11-5. In three of those losses, their vaunted defense gave up game losing drives late. In their other two losses, Indy and NYG blew them out.

On the whole, it's not a wild or off the wall. Still much of glory comes from beating up on substandard offenses. That offense will have to improve dramatically for the SB to come to fruition.

they lost 3 times to the Squeelers last year so until they get past them I think the Steelers are better and since the Steelers haven't had to get past us for their wins I am sticking with my Pats though I might have picked them in 92 so I am a homer.

They will miss Bart Scott. Still a very good team.

Defense aging, lost D coordinator, still have no recievers to speak of...wild card contender but super bowl no way.

Love reading Reiss' reports, but I have a hard time picking the Ravens even making the playoffs this year. I think Cincy will be tougher this year and of course Pitt will be good. Not to mention the curse of the "sophomore" QB.

Not a bad pick. I like what the Ravens have done by continuing to draft stud defensive players and they finally got a winner in Flacco. I don't see a huge difference between the Steelers and the Ravens with Flacco +1 year experience.

I don't know... Roethlisberger won a SB in his second year.

Until proven otherwise, Pitt is still the team to beat.

I think the Falcons are the darkhorse team,Matt Ryan is the real deal

My choice to win it all would be the Chargers if they can mature enough to finally win it all and avoid the fact that Turner is their HC.

Of course the heart always hopes the Patriots win but I still have doubts about this defense,especially in the new revamped secondary - Brady and the offense will have to score more than 500 points I think for the team to get where they want to be- They don't have to be as good as the 2007 offense but they better be somewhat close.
