Ravens are 9.5 pt dogs just like Texans

[t-wizzle]

Broncos and Pats both nearly double digit faves.

Everyone wants to see a Brady-Manning AFC Title game.

One or both probably lose straight up next week.

[HoulihansTX]

Ravens are the worst of the teams left in AFC.

Agree but they have turned their season around just in time. The "best" team doesn't always win.

[hawley]

Every man and his dog on a 2 team teaser.

Broncos will roll the Ravens. FLacco looked very pedestrian, except for several hook ups with Boldin. I don't see Boldin doing sh1t against that secondary. The Colts moved the ball well all day but failed in the Redzone. This is because they don't really have any threat from the tight ends. This is where the Ravens will have a matchup problems, with Tamme or Joel Dressen will taking advantage of Ray Lewis one arm in pass coverage.

Ravens ML easiest money in playoff history

[pologq]

winning by 15 against the colts today at home was not impressive at all. denver is a completely different animal and peyton wll move the ball on the ravens, throwing over the middle and putting lewis into pass coverage. the broncos defense will shut down flacco who looks like sanchez at times.

i am more concerned with the pats only because if schaub passes well the texans can keep the game close.

They beat a team that beat themselves in Indy they are still garbage. Flacco is Sanchize level now. Broncos should crush at home.

Pats the same. Its not that the public wants it, its just the fact that its gonna happen

So are you taking both of them ML?

I like taking the points...ML, not so much.

[Speedy88]

I don't think either win SU. Playing the Texans spread looks like the right play. I wouldn't bet on Flacco going up against Peyton in Denver.

You're so dramatic BW. It does make for good TV.

[Cuse0323]

Damn, I hate huge lines. I picked the worst weekend to go to Vegas, I can't pick winners with these lines.

Manning comes up small in the playoffs all the time though.

[ThaTopMoron]

they cover the spread and you say ML

[Speedy88]

I don't really care about the past. Ravens defense is garbage, and he'll expose them. Flacco will be lucky to put up more than 17 against the Broncos defense. Manning can cover these big spreads, especially with that strong Denver defense.

You might be right. I haven't decided where I'm going with this game yet. Right now I like both dogs but got all week before I make a play.

I'm not joking

Honestly....I just don't think the Ravens are that good.

[nosniboR11]

going to be an interesting week

[SoonerC]

Got to take the points, way too much talent on the defensive side of the ball for both teams to lay that kind of number.

wow...matt schaub and joe flacco get it done on the road.

[Dexter]

would love to hear what joe flacco's ats record is in the playoffs as a road dog. i think its very very good...

Counting on Flacco to win a game? The way he looks this year? Wow

[Louisvillekid1]

BRONCOS ARE NOT LOSING!!!

Been saying it for 2 months, they are you superbowl champions...

Texans however have an excellent shot at the upset

[t-wizzle]

wow...matt schaub and joe flacco get it done on the road.

I had this Houston-New England rematch in mind since that night the Pats destroyed them. Was hoping they would meet again in New England so I could unload on the Texans.

Schaub won't need to do much. Texans will rely heavily on the running game but the Pats pass defense is bad as it is. Schaub will be able to move the ball against that D.

[frostno98]

The Ravens early in the season that beat the Patriots when they were healthy might had a chance in Denver.

[Dexter]

oh wizzle....your man LB made his thread 1st....did he influence you just a tad to make the sharp call from atop your podium? haha

Lol what? I posted up in LB's thread dex. I don't agree with hammering Texans ml but I'm definitely taking the points big.

got it...

you do realize that teams who blowout their opponents tend to have bad defensive pass statistics because they are always playing prevent defenses...right?

i am not saying they have a great pass defense, but they are not as bad as the stats indicate for the reason i just pointed out..

Agreed. I'd take the Pats defense over GB's defense any day....Probably prefer them over Baltimore's defense too.

And Pats actually matchup pretty well against Houston because they can stop the run.

49ers put up 41 on them. That's enough for me.

[Dexter]

you make the 49ers offense sound like the browns...the 49ers skillset players dont get the recognition as other stars in the league b/c they were a conservative offense under a. smith.....crabtree, gore/james and davis are pretty damn good

[Goat Milk]

you didn't watch the game then. Niners got most of their points off fluke turnovers in the rain. Don't compare niners d to the texans d.

Pats have one of the best secondaries in the nfl with talib mccourtey chung and others. Schaub is gonna beat Brady in Bradyville? Pats have gotten better every year. Since they lost to the Jets when they had average guys.

Pats made the superbowl last year with a much worse team. You realize that right? Look at who they've acquired since last year. It's not even close. Pats will win and cover most likely.

You and dex seem to have confused me with lakerboy. LB said he's taking Texans moneyline. I'm taking the points.

Goat you realize Texans were arguably the best team in the league for about 12 weeks this season right?

[coop]

Broncos lose next week. Ravens will hurt Manning. Shoulder/rib injury.

will bump this when it happens
