The Ravens will win this game, in beautiful fashion.
Vegas knows people will throw -9 on the Broncos because the public views Manning as a god among men.
The Ravens defense is stronger than last year. They have one of the scariest front 7's in the league without a doubt.
Also, Ladarius Webb is back (3rd best CB in the league in my opinion), along with Terrel Suggs being healthy.
Now, there is a reason this game is climbing, public money is all over it. Especially with preseason slump against Carolina. A nice little stat in that game was our defense held Carolina to 68 yards total offense. Every point scored from take-aways was due to someone that will not starting in our opening game. Bernard Pierce is not a starter and Tandon Doss that doesn't know protocol in the slot position who caused a pick 6 will not be starting.
Our team is stout, we lack depth at wide receiver, but that is the only thing we lack, besides that we are a completely improved team since last year. We're going to be back at the Baltimore standard in defense, and you better believe Joe Flacco is going to be able to score some points.
With Von Miller off the field, I'm all over this one.
I think average qbr when Miller is off the field against Broncos D is 58% and when he's on the field it's 23%
I love this game, can't wait
Go Ravens!
(also, I hardly bet on my favorite team, but I've gotta be on this one, the proof is in the pudding, and I want to cash in on this pudding!!!)
