Because there are so many games in small intricacies of how these schedule works is to hard to notice. They are desperate to fit it in around baseball and NBA schedules. It is a tough thing getting 32 teams 16 games in 17 weeks.
One thing that could really work in the Ravens favor. Andy hates running the ball. He will have a great runner and ignore him. How often has he ignored Wstbrook and had McNabb thrown the ball 50 times? I could easily see him ignoring Shady.
Murray and Spiller. CJ I think is not going to be great again. Oak is a good D. I would go Pats D. If for nothing else Zona will be playing from behind.
