It looks like the spread is still 7.5.

I trust the Ravens will not be too rusty and hold suit at home.....but I can definitely agree with like_that as well.

Baltimore wins. It's the Ravens' year to go to the Super Bowl.....to lose to the New Orleans Saints.

It's your turn to hate Super Bowl matchups.

BD2003...any word on how Boldin is looking for this one? Flacco has to step up in this one. They have home field advantage for the first time in 5 years, I expect them to use it and come out on top. At least I hope.

I received a text saying that he was probable. Every week I receive a text with a list of probable players and they always play. I can't see him not playing personally. He's not the type. They said before he went out that it was only a couple week process and he has been out for a couple weeks. Flacco definitely needs to step up.

Huh? Is that a 49ers-Ravens Super Bowl prediction on your part or some form of trash talk?

No, I am just saying it as a non-steelers fan. Had I not been too lazy to look up how many times they have been in the SB, I probably would have clarified it more.

If New England plays like tonight and they end up facing Baltimore, you will be wrong on BOTH counts. :D

That's what I'm hoping for. As long as Baltimore doesn't get in, I can actually ENJOY watching the game.

I don't think the Patriots will run over the Ravens this bad.

The ravens at least can get some pressure on Brady. No pressure tonight killed the broncos

Interested to see how Yates performs tomorrow for the Texans. I think Baltimore is going to win the game, but the QB position moving forward in Houston could get interesting depending on how he plays.

Schaub is only 30, and has shown to be a solid NFL QB.

If Yates has a good showing tomorrow, invariably talk is going to shift to whether Houston moves him this off-season or maybe keeps him long term cutting Schaub loose.

With the dearth of good QB's in the NFL right now, there is always a market for a young QB that won a playoff game and showed flashes of being a legit NFL QB as Yates has. Maybe Houston cashes in that chip to try and add another piece to a team that if totally healthy is not that far off from being a SB contender.

Baltimore will win this one unless bad Flacco shows up. And considering his pussying to the media lately I wouldn't be surprised if he did. But I'm gonna take the Ravens 20-13.

I'm the eternal pessimist but I could see Flacco and the rest of the receiving corps being rusty tomorrow. I didn't want Pittsburgh to end up with the bye but I could see Baltimore being the type of team that is actually hurt by it. The thing that will save them is they are facing TJ Yates in Baltimore.

Still can't bring myself to trust Flacco. Baltimore's run game and D needs to be clicking on all cylinders starting tomorrow and ride the MO into Foxboro.

One can barely predict with any certainty what happens from week to week in the post season. I've seen so many strange and unexpected things happen.
