Who will win Sunday night?

[supafly]

I thought it was Denver.......my bad

You'll never make as many mistakes as I do my friend.

That's the whole 'issue' I have with the supposedly easy schedule, we play the first 3 out of 4 on the road, then come back vs DEN in primetime, then go all the way out west to SEA, then home to the NYJ, then all the way to London to play the Rams.

AT BAL
AT BUF
vs DEN
AT SEA
vs NYJ
AT London vs STL

Looks like it's not such as easy schedule coming off a loss last week. There's a lot of traveling involved and some tough teams too.

People will say that games like at BUF, at SEA, and at STL (London) are easy, but all 3 have the potential to beat us, all 3 have a tough defense, and all 3 are playing better than anyone thought.

And that's not even bringing up the 3 games against BAL, DEN, and the NYJ.

This is a very important 6 game stretch in my opinion, and we haven't seen the last of the losses by any stretch before the bye week.

Yep....more and more reason why strength of schedule is the biggest joke of the offseason.

No one knows who will be tough and who won't.

This so called 'cakewalk' schedule has lost some icing

Hardest game on the schedule is NOT the ravens..houston and 49ers will be even tougher than the ravens.

Both of those games are in Foxboro and by then (mid/late December), the Pats will hopefully be in synch on offense and the young players will be even more settled (hopefully avoiding the "rookie wall") in the defense.

Playing Baltimore in Baltimore, given they are thirsty for revenge for the Pats AFCCG win, both teams coming off a loss but the Pats offense looking sloppy and the line looking shaky (to be kind). For my money, this is and will be the hardest game on the schedule even though IMO both Houston and San Francisco are better teams than the Ravens.

The Ravens - even without Suggs - match up extremely well against the Pats muddled and weak OL and they have a history of playing the Patriots extremely well. They should beat the Pats by 2 scores. Whether or not they do depends on McDaniels' preparation and gameplanning.

AT BAL

vs DEN
AT SEA
vs NYJ
AT London vs STL

They could still easily come 5-1 or 4-2 out of that stretch. I think they beat denver buff jets and stl...den and balt...will be tough

Buff wont have a game against them like last year in buff..especially if we lose to balt or two in a row


Their two hardest games come vs houston and 49ers back to back at home later in year.everything else is very winnable i think

 

[stcjones]

Hope I am completely wrong (which happens VERY frequently of course!) but I see the Ravens D just completely controlling our OL and getting to Brady early and often. I also think they will shut down our running game and force Brady to try to make quick throws and decisions. I think if we can get the quick screens and RB dump offs going it could make it interesting.... On D we should do a pretty good job containing Rice....but he is Ray Rice after all and he is going to get some production on runs and through the air. Flacco will most likely have a good day against our secondary.....this isn't Kevin Kolb we are dealing with this week. Lastly, they are at home and are VERY good/tough at home. We had a great home streak record going too...so maybe that won't be as strong a factor as I think it will be.......Will think up my score prediction and post that when the topic comes up by Alamo....I HATE THE Ravens more than almost any other team.....but unfortuneatly they are going to get this one......

Ravens.

Reasons:

1) Our offense sucks.
2) Our pass defense sucks.
3) The Ravens defensive line will kill our offensive line.

The Ravens win by 10. Final score 27-17.

Offense sucks..can you be a little more specific?

 

[Lowercaseg]

Pats win. Ravens O line is not that good. Pats will be good against the run, get pressure on Flacco, and likely a pick. Ravens D line is not as good as the Cardinals D line and won't get pressure on Brady to the degree that the Cardinals did (no Suggs). Pats O line will play better. Pats will score and look good doing it. Pats by 10 or more.

 

[QB12]

Patriots will buttf*** the Ravens on Sunday.

Cardinals defense is a step up from the Ravens D this season, and the Patriots won't be sleeping on the Ravens. Brady plays well mad, and watch for the offense to shut up the naysayers.

There might be a pick, but it won't stop the onslought. 35-17 Pats.

This. I think of the game at Pittsburgh in 2010, and the game at the Jets last year. Gonna' be close, I think, but we pull it out at the end, kind of like the game at Pittsburgh in 2005.

 

[ausbacker]

I hate to tip against the Patriots but I'm going to select the Ravens. Why you ask... because Justin Tucker is automatic at present.

I imagine it to be a 24-23 type of game with the potential to go either way.

 

[MoneyFX]

Ahhh...enough said? The pats were 10-0 in home openers and look what happened

So? What does that have to do with this game? I like the Pats chances.

 

[Joker]

OFF TOPIC...PLEASE DO NOT MURDER ME

does anybody have season tickets they want to sell for the Denver game?? I need 8...please PM me if you can help...

records are made to be broken or busted. 8-1 against them doesn't mean ****

 

[Kid~Brady]

FLacco will toss atleast 2 picks, I'm calling it.

Patriots win. If Vick and his horrid offensive line can do it, Brady can.

 

[JJDChE]

I'm thinking Patriots. Should be a good game.

 

[YearbookCurfew]

Picking the Ravens

 

[nabwong]

Lloyd and Brady will finally connect on a bomb.

 

[jcdavey]

the home team......

 

[MoneyFX]

Brady will be looking for blood after last weeks performance. He's gonna turn in one of those classic "Tom Brady's got a chip on his shoulder and is gonna prove something" performances. Ravens are strong at home, but I like the Pats and I think the defense is going to make some great plays. This is a better defense than last year and they can take Rice out of the game and make Flacco try to beat them. And for the offense, Lloyd will have a huge impact. Ravens now have to worry about the big play WR.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Vegas had the line start at Baltimore -3

Now it's Baltimore -2 1/2

Betting it will be Balt. -2 by kickoff

This will be the biggest betting game of the week.....and a tough one to bet on.
