Ravens: They need to take care of the football primarily. They need to run the ball efficiently to keep Brady off the field as long as possible. That will take pressure off Flacco who bounced back a bit last week from the couple of bad weeks he had. I think they will put the pressure on Brady and get several hits on him. Dumervil and Suggs are gonna be on his ass.
They're going to need get a couple of takeaways. They can't allow the Pats to run the ball, that will slow down the pass rush and Brady will have more time in the pocket to fling it.
Patriots: They have their premier pass rusher back in Chandler Jones, watch out niggas.
The Pats need to somehow stop the run, the secondary they got back there will be tankful if them niggas could get that done. They're Top 10 in the league in that department, so it's not hard to see them doing that. They need to play tight coverage and be physical with their receivers. Putting a lot of pressure on Flacco, to get some takeaways. Flacco just came out of a streak were he was turning the ball over.
What I expect: I see this as a low-scoring, physical game. Very defensive, I think both defenses will play well and get multiple turnovers and hits on the QB. I don't expect either team to have much success running the ball. Ultimately, I expect the Pats to make one more play than the Ravens. But who ever has the lead in the last 2 minutes will win the game IMO. I think it'll be the Pats.
Patriots 16-13 Ravens
