Dumervil is an upgrade over Kruger. If McClain comes back healthy then he is just as good and probably better than Ellerbe. Ill sound like a lunatic, and I love Ed Reed, but I'd rather have Huff at this point in their careers.
I'm pretty confident the defense will be better than it was last year. Ray Lewis injured most of last year as well. Factor in the fact Suggs, ngata, and Webb all were some form of injured most or all of last year and they come back healthy this year as well.
Boldin and Leach will be the moves they miss the most. I will almost guarantee they will regret losing boldin
OU.....Stoops doesn't win big games like he should, but he also never loses back to back games. He does great when no one expects much out of him, and lastly: what makes any other Big 12 school so much better than OU?? I look at that division as there are 5 teams that could win it, and OU at 5:1 looks really good to me.
Just like with the Ravens, I don't like betting against winning teams. Stoops may be a let down in big games, but he constantly wins 9-10 games. With the parity in the Big 12 this year, I just wouldn't bet against the team that has won 5 of the last 7 big 12 titles.
GL double, we will agree much of the year. Nothing wrong with starting off battling each other. Both teams could very easily have terrible years and lose a bunch of games. GL with your plays brother
Best of Luck Brother ...
Nice to disagree sometimes ...
I totally disagree 110% of your views on the ravens upcoming season ... This team should suffer threw a HUGE Super Bowl Hangover , combined with the FACT they Lost so Many "BIG " game Players in the Off Season .... RAY RAY$$$ ,REED, Ellerbe, Kruger,and Bernard Pollard , Boldin and not Couting anything Else is more than enough to Sink them below 500.
I Plan on fading the Ravens ATS from the Jump
the BIG 12 is Pretty tough at the Top ... But as Usual most of the defenses can't stop anyone ..
.Right now I have Oklahoma St., Texas, Baylor,TCU , and kansas St all better
than the Sooners right now ...
Was does that mean ??? who Knows 
really Hoping for Under
10/9.5 on Oklahoma ... would be a MAX BET
Great to be Talking Football ... Enjoy Ur Summer Brother
