Its scary that I actually disagree with stuckey

, but Flacco is a joke, he is average at best and they will NEVER win a superbowl with him as the stating qb. He has made the playoffs the past 5 seasons because of his team. We should be giving all the credit to Anquan Boldin for last game not Joe Flacco. Just my opinion with all do respect to everybody. I will be on the other side of this game and I believe the broncos win by 14-17 points. BOL to everybody

can someone explain how Baltimore is going to move the ball? I'm not sure people realize how good Denver's defense is.

Ahh, you must have missed the AFC Championship game in Foxboro where Flacco outplayed Brady in every single statistical category and led the game winning drive at the end of the game before Lee Evans dropped a perfectly thrown ball in the corner of the end zone to go to the Super Bowl. That is a shame. It was a great game.

Great write up...I was in love with the Broncos at first, but now I am seeing the public pound Denver, scares me a bit. I will wait and see right now...I hope it gets to +10, then that would look real enticing.

Stuck, if I ever go on trial, you can be my defense attorney. You make a great case for the Ravens. Something to think about. Thanks for all the work and sharing it with us.

I'll take Divisonal Round Playoffs for $500, Alex.

Answer:

Emotional, but ugly, win the previous week; Traveling nearly cross country; Playing at extremely high altitude; Facing the hottest team in the league at home.

What is, just a few reasons the Ravens get their behind handed to them this weekend?

Correct!

Great write up Stuckey. I'm right there with you a die hard fan of Purple and Black.

Flacco will be fine. I would say Rice and Pierce are going to get the ball a lot. Covert 3rd downs and they have a chance.

I have no reason to think the ravens will win this game. They have been nothing but inconsistent all year long, and complete opposite for the broncos. As much as I love Ray Lewis, I promise you Manning will torch him and take advantage of an older and slower Lewis. Could the ravens pull an upset...yes 100%, but Manning is one of the best at preparing ever and I fully expect him to win this game. Flacco will throw at least 2 ints. BOL everybody just my opinion.

I am actually leaning towrds Balt +10 (I would buy the point), but I do want to make sure that this forum has accurate information. Your claim in point #15 about the Ravens having the #1 red zone defense is ... NOT TRUE!!!

For the regular season:

- Baltimore ranked 20th in Red zone efficiency at 88% scores allowed; slightly worse than the league average of 85%

- Baltimore ranked 24th at total scores allowed at 49 total scores allowed in the red zone, slightly worse than the league average of 44. However, should note that the Ravens ranked 3rd best overall in only allowing 9 passing TDs in the red zone

- Baltimore ranked 16th at 239 total points (league average) allowed from the red zone

- The point that scares me the most about the red zone is that Baltimore ranked 26th in allowing teams in the red zone. Only 6 teams are worse; Buff, Oak, Tenn, KC, NO, and Jax. For Balt to cover, let alone win, they cannot allow too many RZ opportunities to Manning and co.

How can you say a QB is a joke when he's taken his team to the playoffs for the first 5 season of his NFL career and won. He's doing something right and obviously getting overlooked.
