A great match up with the two top seeded teams in the AFC conference..
My thoughts about the Championship game:
Offense:
Patriots- Simply amazing.. The best offense currently in the playoffs. The offensive line needs to keep the Ravens D off Tom Terrific so he can pick apart the defense and so the Boston TE Party can go to work
Ravens- Joe Flacco is starting to build some swag after the win against Houston.. But in order for the Ravens to win this one they have to rely on Flacco's passing ability. Ray Rice? Well RR does what RR does.
Who does it better? New England Patriots
Defense:
Patriots- Second to last in the league.. Probably the worst in history.. However, they do get stops when it matters the most. They have the opposing team march up and down the field but will stop them when it gets to 35 to goal.. Stopping the run game is belichicks thing.. They have to work a lot on deep zone coverage.
Ravens- Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs. Enough said... Make Brady move... if they don't the game will be like the Pats vs Broncos
Who does it better? Baltimore Ravens
Keys to win:
Patriots:
Offensive line has to keep the Ravens D off of Brady.
Pin Point accuracy.
Boston TE Party has to go to work
Ravens:
They have to make Brady feel uncomfortable.
Flacco has to step up his pass game.
Ray Rice.
My pick?
New England Patriots.
23-17
