Lol sports books loving this year.. Everyone on gb, tried to tell you, everyone on atl, tried to tell you... Change your post to sf and stay manComment -
Yo Pauly...any idea on what you think happens with this line? Started at 4.5 quite possibly if I remember. Definitely at 4 until just recently and now at 3.5.....should I be buying a half point at 4? I really think the Ravens to win outright but I'll be playing with the points this year to be safe.
Anyone else have any thoughts if I should be placing the bet now or if this line is gonna be lost forever?

Rolle: Ravens' Lewis got me on track with Giants

Ray Lewis is clearly a driving force — perhaps the driving force — for the Ravens, who stormed to back-to-back road playoff victories to advance to Super Bowl XLVII. Lewis also played a role in helping Antrel Rolle acclimate to the Giants and grow into a leader of last season’s Super Bowl run.
Rolle arrived in 2010 and bristled at the way the Giants do business — especially how Tom Coughlin runs his team. There were frustrated comments from Rolle, and it appeared as if the safety and coach were headed toward a real confrontation. Rolle cooled off, though, and he says he might have overheated if not for Lewis’ advice.
Getty Images; AP (inset)RAY THE SAGE: Giants safety Antrel Rolle (above with ball, celebrating with Prince Amukamara) credits a phone call to Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis for providing the advice that got him onto the same page with coach Tom Coughlin after a rough start.
Like Lewis, Rolle is a product of the University of Miami, though Lewis was gone before Rolle ever played for the Hurricanes. Rolle did not know how to deal with Coughlin, so one day he dialed up Lewis.
“I asked him how should I handle the situation,’’ Rolle said yesterday on WFAN. “I was like, ‘It’s extremely difficult for me, I’m not used to this,’ and so forth and so on. We had an hourlong conversation just about life, he was telling me how I should approach the situation, how I should be able to deal with Coach Coughlin but still get some things across. He helped me out a lot. I listened to what he said and it helped me out a lot.
“If you have never been around Ray Lewis, he’s probably the most humble individual and real individual you’re ever going to be around. That’s just the reality of it.’’
Rolle spent the first five years of his career with the Cardinals, and it took him time to accept Coughlin’s coaching methods. In Week 2 in 2010, the Giants lost 38-14 in Indianapolis as Peyton Manning bested younger brother Eli.
It was Rolle’s first regular-season road trip with the Giants, and afterward he blasted Coughlin’s schedule, insisting getting to the stadium more than three hours before kickoff made the Giants “sluggish.’’ Rolle later complained about Coughlin’s “controlled’’ environment and said he felt the atmosphere around the team was “too uptight.’’
“I had an issue with me dealing with some things, more so my own personal issues,’’ Rolle recalled. “Coach Coughlin and myself have never had an exchange of words or anything close to it, never even had a bad eye towards one another. I’m sure he probably wanted to curse me out at times, but it never crossed that line.’’
Rolle credits Lewis for helping him replace his frustration with a greater understanding of Coughlin’s methods.
“More than the [Miami] thing, I think it’s someone who has been through it all,’’ Rolle said of why he reached out to Lewis. “No matter what adversity or what Ray had to overcome, I think he’s overcome it, and I think that’s what it boiled down to. It boiled down to me going to someone I can consider a mentor, someone I know is going to give it to me straight. Someone who is going to tell me something I need to hear as opposed to something I wanted to hear.
“And he told me exactly what I needed to hear, and from that day on, I never, ever had an issue, never had any concerns. I can honestly say it is great. This is the best I’ve ever felt, and I am going to continue to stay on this path.’’Comment -

Ray Lewis more focused on 49ers
Retirement not on mind as final game approaches
OWINGS MILLS, MD. — For weeks, no one could determine when The Ray Lewis Retirement Tour would draw to a close.
Since Lewis announced on Jan. 2 his “last ride” in the NFL would coincide with the end of the Ravens’ postseason run, there was the possibility that each game would be his last.
Now, after successful stops in Denver and New England, there is no longer any doubt: Win or lose, Lewis will perform for the final time on Feb. 3, in New Orleans on the NFL’s grandest stage.
It wouldn’t be surprising if Lewis approached the Super Bowl with a feeling of finality, but the 37-year-old middle linebacker insisted Thursday that he’s thinking only about helping the Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers.
“Honestly, outside of putting my head in the playbook and studying San Fran, I really haven’t thought about anything else,” Lewis said.
“It’s going to be a great day, period, no matter what happens. And that’s kind of the way I’ve approached it,” he said. “I haven’t even said, ‘Oh man, this is your last game, what do you think?’ I really haven’t. Because I just really am keeping my teammates focused on the real prize.”
Now in his 17th season, Lewis is preparing for his second Super Bowl — the first in 12 years. The last time he played for the NFL championship, Lewis earned MVP honors in Baltimore’s 34-7 win over the New York Giants.
After waiting all this time to get back, Lewis has no intention of merely settling for being part of the big game.
“The real prize is actually going and winning the Super Bowl,” he said. “It’s great to get there, don’t get me wrong, but to win it is something special.”
And then, only then, Lewis will think about what it means to walk off the football field for the final time.
“You feel that confetti drop, I’ll probably reflect then, when I’m there,” he said. “But, it really hasn’t crossed my mind like that.”
San Francisco inside linebacker Patrick Willis, who wears No. 52, has nothing but admiration for Baltimore’s No. 52.
“I’m just a big fan of him, period,” Willis said Thursday. “Just his enthusiasm on the field, the passion he plays with. I’ve always been a big fan of those who play with passion, such as Ray Lewis. I know people always want to make comparisons and talk about torches and all this. At the end of the day, I always say I can only be the best player I can be.
“As a fellow linebacker, being at the Pro Bowl and being able to be coached by the same coach (Mike Nolan) at one point in time in our careers, we’ve become friends. Ray’s one of those guys, he loves to give his wisdom and give his knowledge, and I’m the type that I love to listen — anybody who’s been there, done that, especially his caliber of player, who’s played a long time.”
Lewis has been with the Ravens since 1996, and it wasn’t long after his arrival that he became the captain of the defense. As his career went on, he lost a step but made up for it with tireless film study and sharp instincts.
After his rookie year, the only time Lewis didn’t get a Pro Bowl invitation were those seasons when he was beset by injury — 2002, 2005 and 2012.
Last year he received his 13th Pro Bowl nod despite missing four games with a foot injury.
This season, after tearing his right triceps on Oct. 14, there was a strong possibility he wouldn’t be back.
At first, the Ravens believed he was done for the year. But Lewis vowed to return, and his teammates were determined to make it happen.
“We knew we wanted to make the playoffs in order for Ray to have a chance to come back,” safety Ed Reed said. “He’s that engine, that motor that’s going to go all the time. He understands what the offense is trying to do to you when you’re talking about the run game. He’s calling out plays before they even happen. That’s what you really miss when Ray is out.”
Since his return, Lewis has 44 tackles in three games. He isn’t limping into retirement; rather, he’s headed out with a flourish.
“He’s played really well. He’s played just like he’s always played,” coach John Harbaugh said.
Lewis attributes his involuntary 10-game absence as the reason behind his resurgence on the field.
“I’ve always said that anytime you can give your body a true rest — not just your body — anytime you can give your mind a certain rest from the game and from the every week wear and tear, when you come back you come back just as fresh as ever,” Lewis said. “For me right now, I feel fresh. My mind is fresh, my body is fresh and I’m just excited to really be able to end the thing up the right way.”Comment -
