Ravens -8.

[tigercruise]

Ravens currently favored by 8. Interesting spread. Ben or not, that worries me especially since the talk of the town is that Troy will play. Thoughts?

[Aclobat]

It's a TRAP!!!!

But considering the recent events of scoring, the ravens are due for a high scoring game.

I would take the points.

I see one online book only with a spread up and they are -6.5. That looks to me like it is a blended (Ben/~Ben) line. Most books don't have a line, but I'd expect 7.5 to 9 without BR.

Polamalu is vulnerable. Don't be worried.

Polamalu is vulnerable. Don't be worried.

he's done .......

like bob sanders, he was a real banger and fun to watch but his body said enough of that .......

he could extend his career as a finesse, pass defender but not sure he could do that .....

he is a warrior at heart .....

^^this. Extremely overrated player but was pretty good in the mid to later part of last decade. But like another poster said, he's like Bob Sanders now and is finished. I fully expect Torrey Smith to smoke him for at least two TDs on sunday

Plus he has that Head and Shoulders thing going.

Outside of a couple games Sanders was a never was.

Troy at least had more of a career than Sanders. Sanders had like 2 good seasons and was pretty much injured the rest of the time.

Troy as a finesse pass defender sounds like Ed Reed as a pure tackler.
