bronco's have been able to stop the run with their front 7, that typically signals defensive success. they don't have to creep down in the box and then become susceptible to the deep ball. it keeps things in front and forces an offense to succeed repeatedly over a ton of offensive plays to score. nfl coaches play the percentages and john fox is at the top of that list. baltimore is going to have to run the ball, they know that and they are going to try to do it. will they have success? ehhhh. their offense is night and day when they are on the road v at home. baltimore defense just gave up 400 yds to luck and co, I struggle to see where they all the sudden clamp down here. not to mention they are on a short week, they are long in the tooth, they are playing in altitude and they played 87 snaps against colts just 6 days ago. One thing they certainly do not want to do is repeatedly go 3 and out and continue to put their defense out on the field. Sack differential is a big predictor of playoff success; Denver is at plus-31, which is a phenomenal number, this according to the godfather of football Gil Brandt and i like to listen when old coots talk. manning has owned the ravens but has not owned the cold and that could def have an affect on his throwing arm/hand. I expect both teams to really try and run the ball. ravens let ballard run all over them and Denver has yielded 237.3 total yards and 13.5 points during a six-game home winning streak and Rice has averaged 58.8 yards and scored one rushing TD in his last six postseason contests. Broncos are the better team no doubt and baltimore has really become a mediocre team when they hit the road this year. Flacco will be pressured by dumerville and miller more so than manning by ellerby, ngata, lewis and co. speaking of ngata, where has he been? used to seeing him taking over in the middle and not so much this year. I think the broncos are the better team, the ravens do not have the better defense in this one and so therefore:
Under 44
Denver -7 -145 (i know, lots of juice, but i'm addicted to buying points)
