Apologies to my Raven brethren but I'm having a hard time feeling confident about this one. Just seems like too many things working against us.
NO's already up against it and looking at back-to-back-to-back home Ls. You figure they'll give the Ravens their A++ game tonight.
Primetime away games haven't been too kind to the Ravens lately. They get off to slow starts on the road as it is and that dome crowd's gonna be live...the O can't afford a bunch of 3-and-outs off the bat.
And Brees vs. this patchwork secondary...


They really need to bring the pressure tonight. NO's OTs aren't bad though, so if not from Doom/Sizzle, some inside heat with C.J./Ngata/Smith.
Man, I hope I'm wrong, 'cause the Ravens need this W just to stay out of the basement (the AFCN this year...

).
This is damn near a playoff game.
Pretty much.
