What will end up throwing people off is how Flacco is so hot and cold and really is very overrated. I know he has great playoff stats, but if you saw last year's playoffs you know that Anquan had to work his ass off to make circus catches because of Flacco's poor passing. All the Ravens realistically have on offense is Torrey Smith and my boy Ray Rice. Leach is good but not that big a deal and Jacoby Jones is learning to step into the number 2 WR role, but isn't there yet. Now the Raven's are my team (I'm from Baltimore), so I hope they do well this season, but Flacco will let you down.
Also, Peyton and his amazing receiving core will slice through the Ravens in Denver. Ravens lost too much on defense, and it will take them a few weeks to get in good form. It is what it is.
