Which team will be the 1st to beat Ravens at home?

[Andy in Hagerstown]

Until someone actually beats the Ravens I can't pick against them at home. The crowd, their confidence on offense etc. I see some talking about Peyton and past performance but that really doesn't matter. He won't have a running game and while he is playing well he doesn't have the talent yet on that Denver team.

Suggs was talking the other day about how perhaps we have gotten too wrapped up in stats. He pointed out where have the top defensive ratings gotten us. He also pointed out the Pats went to the SB with the 31st ranked defense.

This team is ranked about 20th on offense and 25th on defense yet we are 8-2. This team seems to know how to win and under Harbaugh we have been very good in November and December. The Ravens could lose in SD without Reed. But after that I could see them running the table. Don't ask me to explain it I just have a feeling about it.

Flacco's play's well at home, New England and Dallas played well on offense!!!

The Steelers rank #1 in defense and the Ravens rank #25, but the points per
is 1.6 points per game. 19.0 Steelers and Ravens is 20.6 per game.

I voted not losing this year. I don't see the point to any other selection. Like you are wanting your own team to lose. They haven't lose in quite a while so no reason for me to predict they will lose anytime soon.

Steelers. If not them, then Eli's older brother.

Do I win a prize?
