Yes, there will be snow/sleet during the game. It just started to snow a miles south of M&T Bank Stadium at 11am. I believe this fall right into the Ravens hands.
On Paper, most cappers look for the best run game in bad weather, which would be the Vikings. However, this will work against the Vikes. The Ravens will be able to load the box on defense and stop AP and the Minnesota run game. The slippery turf could also impact AP's ability to make his cuts. The Ravens corners are playing well and can hold their own one on one.
Offensively, the Ravens should be able to at least be proficient on the ground. Flacco's strong arm and big hands will hold up well in the weather. In fact the reporter on 105.7 The Fan said "Flacco has been practicing with slippery ball this week". Well, OK. I didn't say that, but in all seriousness, Flacco reportedly didn't miss a beat throwing with "slippery balls". Dennis Pita returns today and will play. While I do not expect him to make a huge impact today, emotionally it will be a big lift knowing they have Mr 3rd down back in the fold for the rest of the year. As long as the Ravens do not turn the ball over, I see a DD win.
PLAY: RAVENS -6 -118
Prediction: Ravens 27 Minny 13
