Not surprised to be the rematch.
The Ravens were the one AFC team i didn't want to play, i would have rather gone into Denver.
It's going to be a good one

 

[LUKOZADE]

Here we go again!

Least Gronk is out

Brady is going to violate Cary Williams however

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Please God let the Ravens win.

Hoping for a Patriots win

Surely the Ravens used everything they had getting over Denver.

Pats by double digits.

Dear Baltimore Ravens,

DO NOT **** IT UP THIS TIME!!!

Yours, with all the support I can give.

This is the one thing I like about this match up. A double OT game at altitude in freezing conditions would have taken it's toll.

Everything indicates another tough game. Baltimores offense seemed to have got it together, same with their D and the whole Ray Lewis factor as well.

I am also working under the assumption that Flacco is due a shocker

It can go both ways. teams coming off a tough week, sometimes have more fight than a team that's managed to cruise through. Head says pats, heart wants Ravens

Baltimore beat a below average defence in the Colts at home before taking on a defence that was the beneficiary of a soft schedule and a known playoff choker Quarterback. They've done well to get to where they are.

If the form guide rings true the Patriots should win this by close to 2 scores. I don't think that will happen (even though I do believe New England is going back to the Superbowl) as the Ravens have always played the Patriots tough.

The extra day will be needed for Baltimore to thaw out.

Ravens will reverse the result from last year - they don't have Cundiff to lose it and Justin Tucker can kick.

Ravens by 3.

Which makes the Pats D (which has performed worse against a schedule that isn't all that different) what exactly?

There's was a considerable difference between the Broncos and the Patriots SoS. I'm also under no illusions that the Patriots Defence is a middle tier defence. What they are is reasonable in scoring D and takeaways.

Really? What? Because Football Outsiders ranked the strength of offenses that the Broncos faced higher than they did for the Pats (26th vs 31st) and by taking a quick look at their schedules, I don't see a real difference in the number of strong offenses between them (but there are plenty of bad ones)

Please God let the Ravens win.

Why?

Don't have a preference personally other than wanting to see Brady go up against the 49ers D.

Like a KC fans could complain about teams achieving in the post season, hell making it would be awesome!

We always do it the hard way, not every team gets the benefit of playing the Jets, Bills and Dolphins twice a year

I never said offences, I said strength of schedule.

Go ravens

Not every team gets to face the Browns, Charlie Batch and Byton Leftwich either,

Flacco (not Lewis) is the reason I'm going ravens not to mention no one wants to see the pats in another Superbowl
