Broncos are overrated as the #1 seed and I'm not surprised that they lost at home.
Ravens played one hell of a game, but they're about to face a deeper, more physical and mentally tough team in the New England Patriots. This team isn't even close to what they saw in week 3 or even last season in the AFC title game.

The Ravens can attack with the run with two excellent backs, in the short and medium passing game with Pitta and Boldin and Rice, and in the deep passing game with Smith. This is a very dangerous offense that we haven't really proven that we can stop. As for their defense, they are playing with a lot of emotion right now. Paul Kruger has emerged as an excellent rusher. Suggs is back after missing the first game too. They held Luck to 3 FGs and Manning to 21 pts in 5 quarters. I would expect a very similar game to last years AFCCG, with it coming down to the last possession.
