Here come the Ravens again, and the Patriots come off a tough loss that was way over due in my opinion. The Patriots have been on a miracle run that finally ended, but almost didn't last week in Miami. I'll fade them here again, because they continue to beat bad teams and their injuries at this point in the year have just become too much. Nate Solder suffered another concussion last week and the offensive line has been in flux all year for these Pats. Tom Brady has done wonders and deserves a ton of credit. However, now he has to face a top 10 pass defense again and he's struggled big time against those. The Ravens are also 3rd in third down defense and 3rd in completion % this is a team that Brady won't be able to just dink and dunk down the field with ease. The Ravens are not afraid to get agressive and pressure these WR.
For Baltimore it's been the Super Bowl hang over, but their offense all of a sudden is clicking. Dennis Pitta is a big reason for that and Joe Flacco continues to play his best when his team really needs him. I think this game will be another example of that as the Ravens need to win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
