cravnravn Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 New Orleans Saints (10-3) at Baltimore Ravens (9-4) Classic case of the more desperate team winning. Even though the Baltimore D was terrible down the stretch at Houston (allowing 99- and 95-yard fourth-quarter drives), I say the Ravens have a couple of second-half stops in them. Side note: The last time these teams met, in 2006, Steve McNair outdueled Drew Brees, throwing for two touchdowns and running for another.

vmax Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Peter Schmuck's on the bandwagon too... News item: The Ravens face one of the premier passers in the NFL on Sunday when Drew Brees and the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints visit M&T Bank Stadium in a game with significant playoff implications for both teams. My take: It's tempting to look at what Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub did in the fourth quarter on Monday night and wonder how the Ravens are going to stop another multi-talented offensive team — especially off another short practice week — but for reasons I can't explain, I'm pretty confident they will.http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bs-sp-schmuck-column-1218-20101217,0,1822287.column Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Hey! Here's one more Peter... Pete Prisco expects the Ravens to beat the Saints by a touchdown. The Baltimore pass defense really struggled Monday night against Houston, nearly costing them a game. They aren't as good against the pass this season, and that's not a good thing against Drew Brees. The Saints get the ball out quickly, which could be a problem for the Ravens. This might be a game for Ray Rice to run the ball at a Saints defense that isn't great against the run. Baltimore will find a way at home, even on a short week.http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bal-whos-picking-the-ravens-saints-1217,0,6732128.story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
