They never slowed down when he was out this year. Don't think it changes things much for either team.

New England is a 9.5 point favorite by the way..

I could see 4 or 5... 9.5 seems crazy to me.

Defense has been on the field for 174 plays the last 2 weeks.

My guess is that has something to do with it.

I guess. I'm sure it is also the idea of the difficultly of the Ravens winning another road game against a high quality team. Still seems crazy to me. They get the extra day of rest. Won't be playing in the altitude.

NE should get 3 points for being at home, and a point or two for being 'better'.

And another few points due to recent circumstances.

7-7.5 points seems right to me. 9.5 seems a little high but that's ok. I wish we were a 20pt underdog. That just makes the Ravens players hungrier.

I think that's overstated a bit. Many guys on defense are fresh after missing significant time due to injury.

Not that you're wrong, but hey Brendan... STFU!

I think New England will struggle getting pressure against the revamped Ravens line, and I think Baltimore will make plays against a pretty weak Patriots pass defense. I like Baltimore to win.

Haha - I've improved my game threads behavior of late, you shouldn't have to put me on ignore on Game Day's anymore.

Need to contain Wilfork. He dominated us last year.

Yep, no doubt about that.

Can the Ravens shut down Ayaybadejo's twitter for the rest of the week please. How can a guy come across so well when speaking out on same sex marriage and then come across as a total clown talking about the Pats and their offense? I guess the only good thing is that this happened early in the week and should blow ever by the weekend.

I think these two teams know each other too well to really care too much about bulletin board material. Let Ayanbadejo say what he wants, I don't think it'll have any impact on the game Sunday.

While I agree that it won't have any impact on the game I wish he wouldn't say stuff like this. It reflects poorly on the Ravens.
