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
