Broncos -9.5

Over 45

That was the score 1 month ago, that'll be the score again. Yes, Ray Ray's back, big tearful retirement - but he already played his final home game..,... So much camera face time, seemed like it was "In Memoriam" already. So, that was it.

Plus, I just can't pull the trigger against Manning at home, just like I can't against Belichick & Brady.

Good luck everybody............

DENVER ALL THE WAY THIS YEAR 

fans of football have love for both Manning and Lewis, what they have done this year and in their careers. Emotions aside, no way the aged Ravens defense can keep up with Denver right now, at home. Also I always think about the lack of O2 that most players experience in the 4th quarter at mile high, old slow guys running out of air = big points for Manning and company. Denver will easily cover.

that's all BS OLD guys running out of air. The only old guys are Ray and maybe Ed.  Give me a break Ravens will show up with a plan and IF they can execute they win straight up. Probably looking at the most experienced teams in the NFL under these conditions of playing on the road playoff football, been doing it 5 straight years.   

how many times have you seen opponents at mile high with oxygen tanks in the 4th quarter? old and will be exhausted. Of course if they execute they will win SU. Also I predict the sun will come up and go down on the day of the game.

 

BRONCOS WILL DIME ALL OVER THE RAVENS DEFENSE RAY LEWIS HAD A GOOD RUN AT HOME DOING THE FONKY CHICKEN LETS SEE HIM DO THE FONKY CHICKEN WHEN HE GETS 9 AND A HALF COVERED ON HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

DEN

I'll take the 10 in this one.. As good as Manning has been, there are still a lot of pressure on some of the younger guys on the team.. The pressure that comes with being a top seed, not to mention the week off may hurt Denver in this game.. Similar to GB last year.. Baltimore shows balance on offense, with Rice and Flacco, one of the key things in playing Denver..

Early lean on the Ravens here

kind of agree with ya oahu, but i just dont trust flacco in this type of game still thinking about my play. Denver D playing strong right now think they have slight edge over balty

Weather might play a role in this game. Highs in the mid teens expected, with a low chance of snow. Not typically weather i would be in love with a big favorite in. 

   100% BUT 35-10

If you like points then take Houston an up and coming team not Balt who is on a decline. Ray Lewis??? he had his last home game and win. If he looked any more hurt he would have been in a wheel chair. They did him a justice doing all the can to get him on the field. Did you see that brace on his arm? Looked like a robotic harm with about 40% use. Baltimore is done no chance in this one.

I have been reading everyone's posts on this site for about 6 months and have been betting for last decade for fun not a career so it's all about opinion and way things are percieved. Here's my two cents: Ravens are going to cover. They have a great chance to stop Mannings 11 game win streak su but against a spread of 10 points its not smart money to bet on Denver here. Look at the first matchup 34-17 denver ... ok 17 point win covers easy right? well take a second look at it, suggs was barely back from injury, ray lewis wasn't suited up and it was 10 -0 with less than 1 min left in the first half and Balty had a chance to score from the 2 yard line to make halftime 10-7 instead Flacco misreads route and throws pick 6 making it 17 - 0 halftime. BOTH TEAMS scored 17 in second half. one play and that game is 27 - 24 Denver and game plan changes drastically down 3 and down 17. You have to give Denver credit for doing what they did to earn the number 1 seed but that doesn't entitle them to an easy win here.

"Baltimore shows balance on offense, with Rice and Flacco, one of the key things in playing Denver.."

LOOKS LIKE DENVER PLAYED 5 PLAYOFF TEAMS AND WENT 2-3.  THE REST OF THEIR SCHEDULE IS HOME...

THAT SAID, IF ONE RECALLS, DENVER WAS UP 10-0 WITH BALTY DRIVING.  FLACCO THROWS A PICK DOWN BY THE GOAL LINE AND ITS RETURNED FOR A TD. . .17-0.

IF THEY HAD PUNCHED THAT ONE IN, 3 POINT GAME.  ALL THINGS EQUAL 27-24 FINAL.

BALTIMORE HAS WON A PLAYOFF GAME 5 YEARS IN A ROW WITH ANOTHER UNDER THEIR BELT AND A TON OF EXPERIENCE TO BACK IT. 

WAITING FOR +10.5. . .

Bal oline stinks at pass protection, Miller Dumervil & Woodyard feast on Flacco sacks Sat

If Flacco throws a pick six in Baltimore i think he throws two pick sixes in Denver c'mon man. You think Flacco is going to get better on the road.  History says no.  Flacco sucks on the road and he's even worse in "big games".  I've heard your reasonings with thew pick six at the end of the half and the 17-17 second half.  I see it like this, if Manning wasn't up by dd's then he would have made sure they were, just like he does angaint anyone else, but up dd's on the road in Baltimore sound like its time to protect the football..  thats just what i think.. 
 Go Broncos, its about time!!!!!!!!

seems like you should see it at some point...
