I think everyone is over reacting to the things the Ravens lost on defense last year and I think their additions will be just fine. One thing is certain up front they have never been stronger with the addition of Elvis Dumervil who is addition by subtraction having played for the Broncos last year and is now paired with a healthy Terrel Suggs. This defense should be able to get a healthy pass rush on Peyton Manning who should have the answers for the most of the night, but the Ravens should be able to move the ball too. Joe Flacco stepped up as an elite QB in the playoffs and I think he has a good game tonight especially because he'll have a ton of time and his receivers will be going against a secondary that was over hyped last year and is without Champ Bailey. I see Flacco having plenty of time to throw the ball without Dumervil and Von Miller (suspended) which accounted for 20+ sacks a year ago. That should open the running game late to keep Peyton Manning on the sidelines enough to cover the spread.
