vmax Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 "I just can't wait to be able to say "I told you so!" Ravens (+3) over Saints: The Saints are really struggling, while the Ravens are coming off a bye, so they will be rested. The Ravens are 5-1 against the Saints in their last six meetings. That matters. Look for the Baltimore pass rush to get all over Drew Brees as the Ravens not only cover, but pull off the upset. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/pete-prisco/24826011/priscos-week-12-best-bets-ravens-will-jump-all-over-drew-brees-saints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBird Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 We did it in Tampa no reason we won't do it in NawlinsTB didn't have Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham to score 6 TDs and now Jimmyand WEbb are both out for us - a double bonus for Brees. Other factors likeit's a road game on a fast track don't speak well for Joe Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The worst case scenario is the Ravens fall a game back. The north really is bunched up tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 If the Ravens win I think they are in 3rd place but I could be wrong there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Actually now that I am looking at the standings close I they go to 3rd. They have a split with the Squealers. The Ravens are 2-3 in div and Pitt is 2-2 so they can't jump them. They have a win head to head with Cle so they leap over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A victory also enables Brees to join Peyton Manning and Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks to have beaten all 32 current NFL teams. And just one other quarterback since 1950, former Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants great Fran Tarkenton, had beaten every team in existence when he retired, according to Stats, LLC.Of course, you can’t play for only one team in your career and pull off this feat. That’s the only thing holding back Tom Brady. It seems unthinkable that Brady might one day face the New England Patriots, but no one anticipated that Peyton Manning would leave the Indianapolis Colts, either.Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers is the only other active quarterback to have beaten all but one team excluding his own. He’ll face the Atlanta Falcons for the second time ever on Dec. 14.This will be Brees’s fourth chance to defeat the Ravens. The last time was in 2010, a 30-24 loss at Baltimore.In Brees’s three games against Baltimore, he has thrown for six touchdowns and seven interceptions, with a 73.2 passer rating, significantly lower than his 95.3 career rating.Brees and the Saints historically are much better at home, though they currently have a two-game losing streak in New Orleans. Brees has lost only once to the Ravens at the Superdome, 35-22 in 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cravnravn Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Just like in Indy, Piss and Cinci on the road - heh? Flacco doesn't do so good on the road either.Indy game was squarely on whom ever mad the call to go pass happy, we were destroying them with the run. Cinncy, d was bad both games. But I do like our chances, 5-1 coming out of the bye and the saints have trouble stopping the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
