The Patriots (1-1) travel to Baltimore to play the Ravens (1-1). The Patriots lost a close one at home to the Cardinals while the Ravens lost a close one in Philadelphia.

Who do you have winning this game?

Yeah, I'm taking the Rats too. The Hoodie needs to suck up his pride and start using Welker more. This "I'm gonna prove a point and show you Julian Edelman is just as good" stuff isn't going to win them games.

Patriots playing with heavy hearts could be a bit of a factor...either way.

Ravens Smith lost his brother yesterday in a motorcycle accident. Heavy hearts for the Ravens as well.

He told Harbaugh he still wants to play tonight. Harbaugh told him it was his call.

I dislike both teams, but this has been an intense game. Win or lose, both are going to be forces. Outside of Houston, nobody else in the AFC looks in their league. Defensively, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Denver have issues. The Jets have major offensive issues.

Always call it so they can't get a practice kick!!!

The practice more than negates the potential nerves.

No. The rule book needs to be changed. And the need a camera that is pointed straight up on each goal post.

Wow what a game. Quite an effort by Torrey Smith considering the circumstances.

Bad calls. Bad, bad, bad. With a nine point lead the Ravens had a 2nd and fourteen and they called hold on McCourty. Probably the biggest call of the game IMO and the most glaring mistake by the officials. That call probably lost the game for the Patriots.

I always thought this myself. What the hell would be so hard about installing 2 chips or something on each side of the football, and then add sensors up and down the sidelines or something. It wouldn't be that expensive, and you can accurately spot the ball on every single play.

There were bad calls on both teams. I believe there were two on McCourty. I thought one was valid and one was phantom. There was a call on Ngata that was just ridiculous. Brady took off running and Ngata was literally his shadow and then Brady slid and Ngata hit him. Those calls are horrible. What is a defender supposed to do if they are chasing a runner like that?
