I see a lot of people talking about Ed Reed and his ankle injury and basing their plays off a "hobbled Ravens defense". His ankle is fine folks..he was walking around in the locker room after the game just fine and will be good to go on Sunday.

I am a Ravens fan, and will not be betting this game. I will also be making the trip to Foxborough, I was there in 2010 when we steamrolled the Patriots. The Ravens have a better team then they did then, and the Patriots have a better offense and a worse defense than they did then. I will say that the public perception here is that New England has been blowing teams out, and Baltimore has looked very mediocre as of late. This is true...but look who New England has beaten. Nobody worth noting..AT ALL. Denver is an average team who rallied against a beat up Pitt team at home. They win that game of Ryan Clark plays at high altitudes. Baltimore is what..6-0 in games against playoff teams? Something will give here, I know Brady will be tough but Baltimore should and will get pressure on him and he will be uncomfortable. Gronk and Hernandez will get their receptions. I really think Flacco will ONCE AGAIN prove his critics wrong and lead the Ravens to victory. Call me a homer yes...of course I need to believe that...but Baltimore is battletested and has more veterans than NE, and has been in much bigger games than this NE team (last 3 years). NE is in for a long day trying to contain Ray Rice and Flacco spreading the ball around to Boldin, Smith, Evans, Pitta, Dickson. Houston has the #2 defense...but I would really say they are #1. They are fierce, and have been playing at the highest level the second half of the year. NE will be soft...and we will see a repeat of 2010. If Baltimore does not get to Brady and turns the ball over twice....NE will win by 10 or more. Best of luck on whatever play you are on.
