The OFFICIAL Ravens - Patriots AFC Title Game Prediction Thread

**phacts** · 01-16-2013, 02:17 PM

35-31 Ravens, and I don't think it will be as close as that score looks.

I think we take a 2 score lead into the fourth quarter, and hold on. This week we don't spot the team 14 points, and Brady throws us a pick. Flacco continues his interception-free streak, and the Ravens silence the crowd by scoring touchdowns. We end it in the victory formation, with smiles all around.

Honestly, the Patriots are scary and all... but I'm confident. This team is on a mission like the Steelers were in 2005. This is the year we get over the hump, the torch is officially passed, and Ray Ray ends his career like the Legend that he is.

This is going to be a great one. Last week I was filled with dread. This week it's confidence. This Ravens team is so focused. This is exactly what they all wanted. It won't be easy but it will be fun and satisfying at the end

It will be a tough out looking at it now. Who knows what will happen once Sunday hits, but this team is simmering underneath IMO. They really, really wanted this matchup and I think the whole team is playing with confidence. I could be very wrong, and rightfully so, but I'll go with a 41-20 victory. Even if they protect against the deep ball, we'll find ways to go deep and Boldin should get some nice touches. I wouldn't be surprised if Rice and Pierce get more looks this week just to rest the D up and keep Brady off the field. Their LB's should struggle with containing Pitta and Dickson. Exposing them in coverage should be our emphasis IMO. However the biggest reason why I think we'll win is because we want it more.

I have no idea but I expect a higher scoring game, especially since all games last weekend were so high scoring. I am rolling with the good guys

Please, no. I want the win, but I can't take that level of suspense

I think if their were a week the Ravens were going down it was last week in Denver.
NE without Gronk has not been the same team offensively though I will admit they are plenty good without him.

I stand by my statement of whoever won the Ravens/Broncos game is going to the SB. That being said:

Us - 35

Them - 31

31 - 28 Pats late in the 4th, Flacco throws the game-winning TD, and I lose my voice for the 2nd week in a row.

**Gronkey Kong** · 01-16-2013, 05:49 PM

I'll say Pats 37-34

**ballhawk** · 01-16-2013, 06:16 PM

Ravens have hit their stride at the perfect time. Flacco's hot hand will keep us in the game til Rice/Pierce take over in the 4th. You couldnt write a better script as the ravens avenge last years loss and face John's little brother in NOLA.

RAVENS: 33
PATS: 30

Really tough to call this game. Patriots are very tough at home as usual, but the Ravens are on a hot streak. One of the biggest thing that concerns me is how much the defense has been on the field the past few games.
IF the Ravens play with the kind of intensity on offense -AND- defense that they have the past two weeks, and limit mistakes on special teams and any kind of turn overs, I think they win. I believe the Ravens can beat any team remaining in the play offs, if they execute as mentioned above.

Really could go either way- it's going to be a tough one! But I'll say 31-30 Patriots.

Suggs gets three sacks, Brady spends the day crying to the refs and has another bad game against the ravens.

Hoping for a hard fought, physical game not ruined by the referees.Ravens defense allows 3's instead of 7's(the secret to all blowouts), and Flacco and his offense play their A game. It should be interesting. Brady getting sacked often is always a good thing. Welker,lloyd,and whoever is their running back have been consistent. Ravens will put a hurting on players during the game is the Raven Way. Hope that continues. Won't predict a score, but the team that wants it more wins.
