Pats vs Ravens :Expert Picks

[VJCPatriot]

Whoa! I can't remember the last time there was only one Flying Elvis on the ESPN prediction board on a given week...and from Mike Ditka yet!

If you take out the first game after TB went down in 2008, I'd be willing to bet you have to go back over ten years.

Ditka voted for us? Now I know we're doomed! LOL. Seriously though I like being the underdog. Lots of bulletin board and motivational material here. We got too high on being favorites. This team needs to show they can scrap and win when nobody else believes in them. (I still BELIEVE though!).

Tough game upcoming against the Ravens but it's winnable. The Pats just need to pull things together on offense. Defense will also have hands full with Ray Rice. Let's play some football!

Motivation shouldn't be coming from the media this week...it should be coming from playing like dog **** for 3 Qtrs last week AT home..if that isn't motivation enough..idk what is

Even if they play good or better on O and lose. I won't be mad. It will be a step in the right direction. If they play like last week on O for the 2nd week in a row..i will be pissed

I don't mind all of the experts picking Baltimore. First, can't blame them after that lackluster performance at home. Yeah, they almost won but they looked like crap for most of the game and would have stolen a win. Second, this puts the pressure on the Ravens to win. It would look really bad for them to lose to a less than 100% Pats team at home. Third, it's only September.

O wont be smooth. Balt D gives Brady lot of issues and he has multi interception games against them most of the time.

All these experts have ignored that fact that we are undefeated on the road this year

Unless key injuries decimate their roster,I think you can bet your house that Houston,Baltimore and New England will be 3 of the 6 AFC Playoff teams,even before the week 1 kickoff

I don't know yet. Houston should lock up the South early because their division sucks and they are arguably the best team in the AFC right now. At this point with the Pats and Ravens, the only reason they are likely to make the playoffs is because I don't think anyone else in their divisions are any good. Right now the Ravens' defense has taken a step back and so have the Pats' offense.

So called "Experts" majority are pickin Ravens this week. It's not like their goin out on a limb or anything. With all that went down last week and uncertainties for this week, not an unreasonable pick but I'll stick with my Pats to bounce back and get a win.

I don't know how anyone can handicap this game...given the wild card nature of the refs...the smart play is the ravens if the line stays at 2 1/2...I wouldn't touch this game if I was still a betting man...except maybe the under

i stopped betting the pats after last year...when they were mostly 10-14 pt favorites vs ****ty teams and they would make it a 7 pt game...(colts example)

Luckily, expert and fan picks don't determine the outcome of the games.
