NFL Divisional Round: Pats-Ravens

A rematch of the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens headlines the start of Divisional weekend in the NFL. These teams have met up in the playoffs three times in recent years, with the Ravens winning two of the three. The Patriots are favorites playing at home, but are aware of how dangerous this Ravens team could be. Joe Flacco was impressive in last weeks win over the Steelers, continuing his impressive postseason play that led the team to a Super Bowl win just a couple years ago. The Ravens also have a great pass rush with Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil. The Patriots should win this game by a touchdown or so, but if they fall behind early it could be a different story. If the Ravens start out with the lead and are able to unleash the pass rush it could be a long day for Tom Brady and the Patriots offense. Still I think the Patriots will handle the Ravens and win this game 31-21.
