Baltimore Backers

[gardenweasel]

and those dolphins and these ravens are totally different teams...


the ravens aren`t hanging their hopes on flacco in the same way that the phins did on marino...

i`m not saying that tenn won`t win....i think fisher may well be as good a coach as there is in football...been that way for years,imo....

this is gonna be a trench war/ slugfest determined by a game changing play ot two....

i don`t think ray rice is available for the ravens....anybody know for sure?...

1)Baltimore has played 6 games on grass this year and has covered all six ATS.6-0 year to date on this surface.2)The importance of the all pro center Mawae being out for Tennessee can't be underestimated,its the second most important offensive position,next to qb and the one most ignored in an injury report by many handicappers.Lots of blitzes coming up the middle for the less than agile Collins.Argue on,but there are ample good reasons to support the Baltimore despite the rookie QB.

Ravens...Rookie coach + Rookie QB
Titans....Veteran coach + Veteran QB

Good point Ludes! Equally important, is the fact this game promises to be very physical. I'll take the rested team instead of the team that just played a physical game 6 days ago. Tennessee will wear Baltimore down in the 2nd half. Good luck!

Is that on the road or ever?

ITS EVER

Yeah I thought Marino was a rookie in 84 he was not.

...you gotta love the under in this game!

You guys are over-analizing this Flacco/rookie thing. He doesnt win games for Balty, he's not asked to. He manages good field position given to him by his defense and kicking game. And if I had a choice with a passrush in his face which QB I would want to complete a huge pass, my choice is Flacco. Tennessee won't be able to run the ball, soooooo good luck Mr. Collins. Ravens will open more eyes this weekend after dumping the overated Titans.

As he gets deeper in the play-offs like today he will be forced to have to win a game. Baltimore's not the only great defense out there this year. Tennessee and Pittsburgh probably believe they are just as good or better. If he can pull it off hats off to him, I don't see it happening.

ravens this
flacco that
blah,blah,blah

i was all over balt last weekend and cashed in bigtime...but what did their offense really do???

280 yards
1 drive of more than 10 plays
1 drive of more than 60 yards
1 drive of more than 4mins possession
flacco was wild and inconsistant (9-23) and now faces a much better defense with ballhawks in the secondary

i like both teams, but will moneyline the rested team at home with a higher scoring offense and defense that allows fewer points with a qb who's been to the super bowl vs a rookie making another road start

[vinnie]

ROOKIE OR VETERAN......WHO WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE TO LEAD YOUR TEAM TO THE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.......FLACCO OR COLLINS? :shrug:

COLLINS HE ALREADY WON FOR TWO OTHER TEAMS :shrug:

 

[Wolver98]

Little late to post this but Balt has played 16 straight weeks without a bye.

 

[Sam]

must of been your well wishes that brought this one home.

 

[BasketballNut]

flacco did jackshit

 

[sds222]

Was still a good call Wise, I was on them too and still can't really believe it!

 

[edludes]

SDS222-Huh?Why is touting a losing play the correct call.That comment always makes me scratch my head.Taunting the other side before a bet is a questionable tactic,it means someone has a little to much adrenaline flowing before the game,but to do it and lose means the person was on the WRONG side.Theres an old gambling saying,the harder you work the luckier you get,meaning the stuff that adds up to victory sometimes looks like luck,but its the vehicle to victory.
