Baltimore Ravens

New England Patriots
PICK: Ravens +71/2 (PATRIOTS)
I'm primarily picking the Ravens to cover. But I like them to win as well. This is Joe Flacco's game to either win or loose all by himself. Tom Brady is a great quarterback, but the Ravens have a great defense who's window of opportunity is closing. So desperation is on their side. Tom Brady is also a statue in the pocket. That should also benefit the Ravens. New England's problem is they have a pedestrian Defense. Therefore all Joe Flacco has to do is just be good; not great - but just good enough. The Ravens need to be patient enough to stick with the run. Then New England will definitely dare Flacco beat them. When they sell out trying to stop Baltimore's ground game, Joe Flacco should get very good opportunities against New England's Secondary. But that's only if the Ravens can withstand the Patriots' early charge up the hill. New England is all about scoring early and often to compensate for their defensive shortcomings. It's been their plan all along while Coach Belichick drafts the foundation of another defense this coming off-season. The bottom line is I believe the Ravens Defense will put Joe Flacco in a position to with the game. Whether he rises up and seizes the moment remains to be seen.
WIN- 23-20; Patriots
