27-23, I could see it going either way.
I'm giving the edge to the Ravens due to home field, but the Pats tend to play very anytime I'm in doubt about them. (the Steelers game in 10' and the 2nd Jets game last year come to mind, though I doubt we're going to dominate like we did in those two games, even if we do win).
As for going 1-2, It wouldn't be the end of the world (1-3 on the other hand :bricks. No matter how flawed the Pats offense might seem right now, one must keep in mind that we have 14-15 weeks left until the playoffs. If the Giants proved anything last year, it's that it's not about the team you are in weeks 1-8 , it's about the team you are at the end of week 17. I'd rather the Pats be 1-2 and relatively healthy than be in the position of a team like Buffalo or Pittsburgh, where their guys seem to be dropping like flies. A win tonight, however, would go a long way to restoring our confidence in the team, and ending this stupid mediot hysteria. Bonus points if Welker is a big part of the game tonight.
