I figured that rather than clutter the main forum with a new thread on every single member of the media's prediction for Sunday's game we may be better served by consolidating those links, excerpts and reactions into one central place.

If you come across media predictions for the AFCCG that you would like to share, please post them here.

Without watching any of them:

Rodney - Pats
Bruschi - Pats
Sapp - Ravens
Faulk - Ravens
Mariucci- Pats
Sharpe - Ravens
Ditka - Ravens
Jackson - Ravens
Boomer - Pats


If I get any of those wrong I'll be shocked

The only one I can see going differently than what you've picked is Sapp. I think he could go either way. The others you are dead on.

This is now a "Media Predictions" predictions thread.



But I think you've nailed 'em all.

Sapp picked the Ravens on Inside the NFL which means he will pick the Pats on the NFL Network.

Collinsworth picked the Pats. Also, Tomlinson picked the Pats too.

Albert Breer said on 98.5 that he is picking the Ravens. I think he even said that the Ravens are a much tougher match up for the Pats than people think. Actually, I don't actually have to listen to him to know he made that argument.

Also:

Of the ESPN "Experts", All but Seth Wickersham picked the Pats to win. Accuscore has the Pats winning 68% of the time in their simulator.

This game still goes down to the pats defense.Can they stop Ray Rice.Can they limit the big play from the ravens.Just hope they dont commit turnovers like they did on 09

Anyone know what happened to turn Breer into such a negative Nancy on the Pats? I used to enjoy his reports when he was on the Patriots beat. I know he went to Dallas and I guess it didn't quite work out, forcing him to return to the North East bitter and resentful.

I just had to post this...why? cuz I can, that's why. For all you who believe in superstition/jinx's, this one's for you!

All the Yahoo Sports guys except Michael Silver pick the Pats:

The weird thing about Silver is in his power rankings last week, he had the Pats 4th in the remaining teams behind the Saints and Packers. A week later, Silver still had the Pats' 4th of the remaining four teams even after the Saints and Packers were elimated. I don't know how the Ravens squeaking by the Texans (ok, winning a close victory where you can argue they weren't the better team on the field) would catapault them over the Pats who crushed the Broncos in the most lopsided victory of the weekend. The guy has always had something against Belichick and the Pats.
