Ravens vs Lions

This week the Ravens are coming off a tough loss to the Greey Bay Packers. The team looked very unmotivated and the Ravens now stand at 6-6. The Ravens are one game out of the 6th and final wild card playoff spot, and they HAVE to win out to even have a chance at the playoffs.

I think the Ravens can make it if they manage to beat the Steelers in a few weeks. But the Ravens get the luxury of playing the Lions next followed by the Bears. Both games are at home and the final home games of the season.

This sunday the Lions come to town and I expect this game to be a blowout. Joe Flacco is coming off arguably the worst game of his career and I expect him to bounce back this week with close to 300 yards passing.

Ravens vs Packers

The Ravens are coming off a huge win against the Steelers last week, which i am still pretty ecstatic about. The Ravens are now in the drivers seat of their future playoff hopes. Pretty much if the Ravens win out then they will make the playoffs.

This week the Ravens head up to Lambeau Field to play the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. The Ravens have won ever prime time game this year so i hope they continue the trend.

The Packers are now statistically the best defensive team in the NFL right now, but I dont think they've played a team with the physicality of the Ravens. THe Ravens have never won up in Lambeau, even though they've only played there twice.

Cold weather will be a factor, but the last time these two teams played, the Ravens killed the Packers 49-3 with 7 degree weather in baltimore. I was at that game and it was absolutely freezing. It was the most lopsided defeat in Packer history.

I think the Ravens have found some momentum on defense finally and the corners have been playing lights out. Except Foxworth.

This game will probably come down to the wire and i expect the Ravens to surprise some people and come out with a win.
