BALTIMORE RAVENS ?6.5 - Everyone knew that the Ravens had a great defense entering this season, but the OFFENSE has suddenly emerged under the leadership of Anthony Wright. Baltimore has put up 119 points in the last 3 games, as they have become a difficult team to defend with the passing ability of Wright complimenting the powerful running of Jamal Lewis. If this team continues on their current path, they may be on their way to another Super Bowl. Even though Oakland was a tough place for visiting teams in recent years, that is not the case this season. The Raiders are a woeful 3-10 overall, and they have now lost 3 of their last 4 home games including a 22-8 drubbing at the hands of the Broncos the last time they played here. They followed up that effort by getting pasted 27-7 at Pittsburgh last week, and they are showing every sign of a team that has quit on an unpopular coach. The last time these teams met was in the 2000 AFC Championship Game in this stadium, and Baltimore emerged then with a 16-3 victory. I expect them to have an even easier time this go around.
