    Picking against the Ravens is like stealing

    1-6 against the spread. They and Philly are the most over-priced teams on the lines each week.

    How about Bilick's play calling on the last drive. 2nd and 1 from the 48 of Buffalo and he throws 3 straight passes to kill his team's chances. Can't believe he didn't run for the first down on 3rd or 4th down against one of the worst run defenses in the league.

    No question. BUF was a easy choice given the Raven's easy schedule puffing up their stats.

    However, the ravens at home can be a tough team to play against.

    The Ravens have the Steelers in Pittsburgh in two weeks, and a bye to heal up. Wonder what the spread will be. Guessing PIT -6.5 to -8.5 depending on how they do tonight and v. CIN next week.

    When the Ravens win it's in spite of their coach. Billick's play calling is atrocious......today was a carbon copy of the opener in Cinncy, when they had 2nd and goal on the 2 yard line and instead of running the ball (which they had done successfully all game) he decides to throw twice in a row with the second one being picked off to end the game. You'd think he'd learn but today shows that he's the same clown he always was.

    He probably does not remember. You can't blame a dumb old man who cant remember shit. He certainly is not the brightest coach in the league. His play calling is horrendous. He will try to do the same stupid shit that did not work in other games. Sometimes I am thinking that he is working with the oddsmakers to throw games. It wont surprise me if some coaches did something to throw a game and they are capable of it. If NBA referees can throw games, so can coaches like Billichek with their playcalling.

    Billick's philosophy of Strong D holding a small lead with a decent Offense will never change considering it won him a Super Bowl.

    As long as it takes him to the playoffs, look for the Ravens to beat the easy fodder while trying get past the better teams, and hoping to beat the elite with that poor offense. Ultimately, the Raven's defense has to score, and that is not happening enough this year.

    If the ravens are hurt, they are even worse.
