Ravens With Daunting Challenge
I think the Ravens are a better team than the Patriots, but don't dismiss a couple of elements.
Under Bill Belichick, the Patriots are 8-2 after the bye and have won 7 straight. That's no accident. The guy is a gameplanning genius. The Ravens will be playing their 4th straight difficult road game. Plus, the Patriots have the 2nd greatest quarterback of the last 10 years in Tom Brady. And then there's revenge for last year's playoff embarrassment. This is a daunting challenge. I'll be impressed if the Ravens win, and won't be disappointed if they lose.
