Ravens Defeat Bucs

The mighty Baltimore Ravens go on to defeat the the Tampa Bay Bucs today. Joe Flacco had yet another decent performance throwing for 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. The interception was Joe Flacco's first one thrown at home this season. The Bucs didn't really do too much against the Ravens defense until the 4th quarter when they pulled within 7 points on a touchdown pass.

This was a good win for the Baltimore Ravens and they remain tied for 1st in the AFC north with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Final Score: Ravens 17 Bucs 10

Ravens vs Bucs Pre-Game Analysis

Both the Ravens and the Bucs come into this game with 7 wins and 3 losses. The Baltimore Ravens are undefeated at home. The Baltimore Ravens can't afford anymore losses right now if they wish to remain in the race for home field advantage in the playoffs. The Ravens also have more weapons than the Bucs so I expect them to remain undefeated at home. It will be a tough game but I am picking the Ravens to win by a touchdown.

Prediction: Ravens 24 Bucs 17

Ravens Never Looked Back in Win Over Panthers

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Carolina Panthers just like I anticipated in my previous post. Actually, the Ravens did better than I thought they would scoring 10 more points than I predicted. Joe Flacco set the tone early hitting T.J. Houshmandzadeh for a 56 yard touchdown pass on the second play from scrimmage and the Ravens never looked back after that.

Several Ravens hit career milestones during the game. T.J. Houshmandzadeh caught his 600th career reception. Old reliable Derrick Mason became the 13th play in NFL history to hit the 900 career catch mark. Not to be outdone, a couple of defensive players hit milestones as well. Ed Reed grabbed his 50th career interception and Ray Lewis snatched his 30th career interception which he also ran in for a TD to close out the game.

Final Score: Ravens 37 Panthers 13

Ravens vs Panthers Pre-Game Analysis

The Baltimore Ravens have 6 wins and just 3 losses. The Carolina Panthers have 1 win and 8 losses. The Baltimore Ravens must win this game because it is a game that they should win. The Ravens are coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Falcons and are very well rested. I expect the Ravens to take an early lead on the Panthers and then never look back.

Prediction: Ravens 27 Panthers 13

Ravens Take the Loss in a Heartbreaker

The Baltimore Ravens had an opportunity to win on the road but the defense couldn't hold the Falcons late in the game. Joe Flacco did his part by driving downfield and throwing a touchdown pass late in the game to give the Ravens the lead. The problem was we left too much time on the clock for Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan came right back and drove the Falcons downfield with less than a minute to go for the game winning touchdown pass. It was the biggest heartbreaking loss for the Ravens since the Patriots game.

Final Score: Ravens 21 Falcons 26

Ravens vs Falcons Pre-Game Analysis

The Atlanta Falcons are undefeated at home and so are the Baltimore Ravens. The Atlanta Falcons have a big edge in this game because they are playing at home on a short week. Both teams seem to be very similar but we have one thing that they don't have and that is Ed Reed. Ed Reed has gotten one or more interceptions in every game since his return and I think he could be the difference maker in this game.

I am going with the Ravens in this battle of the birds and I look for Joe Flacco to shine in the national spotlight Thursday night.

Prediction: Ravens 23 Falcons 20

Spitroversy

I guess most people have heard the controversy about Baltimore Ravens running back McClain allegedly spitting on Dolphins linebacker Crowder this past Sunday. The debate is ongoing as to whether or not McClain did it. McClain denies doing it. You can see a video clip of the incident at the link below:

Ravens Defeat Dolphins

Just when it looked like the Dolphins were going to give us a run for the money, the Baltimore Ravens defense shows up and shuts out the Dolphins in the second half. Ed Reed got yet another career interception today as the Ravens cruise to a record of 6 wins and 2 losses.

Final Score: Ravens 26 Dolphins 10

Ravens vs Dolphins Halftime Report

There is some good news and some bad news for the Baltimore Ravens. I'll give you the bad news first. The bad news is that our defense still doesn't look like the shutdown defense we are used to in Baltimore. Although it doesn't look as bad as it it did against the Buffalo Bills, the Miami Dolphins are moving the ball on our defense rather easily. Fabian washington is still having problems covering receivers as well.

As for the good news, the offense has been fairly decent except for a couple of missed opportunities in the red zone. The offense isn't turning the ball over and we are going into halftime with the lead.

Halftime Score: Ravens 13 Dolphins 10

Ravens vs Dolphins Pre-Game Analysis

The Baltimore Ravens are undefeated at home and the Miami Dolphins are undefeated on the road. I expect this to be a hard fought game as both teams are very physical. I do expect to Ravens to pull it out however in another nail biting close game.

Prediction: Ravens 23 Miami 20

Ray Lewis is One of the Best

Ray Lewis ranked number 18 on the recent top 100 list of the greatest NFL players of all time.
