Found one believer: Ravens could be team of destiny

[baltiMOREO&R]

- Since week 5 game against New England, I hate to break this — they (Broncos) haven’t really played anyone. (except Ravens and Bengals - two teams that were struggling mightily prior to facing Denver)

- The Ravens are no doubt battle tested.

- For the first time all season, Baltimore’s actually healthy on defense.

- I covered a Giants team last year that waltzed into Lambeau and Salsa danced out as victors. I was in that Ravens locker room on Sunday. There was a certain unity — a certain desperation — that reminded me of both of those teams

I agree with the writer 100%. Im taken the ravens 27-20 for many of the same reasons. I believe the only way the Ravens lose is if they turn the ball over more than the Broncos. They are getting no respect and I believe that means alot to a team that has been in the playoffs 5 straight seasons and to the AFC title game twice. The Ravens are seasoned and know how to play in the playoffs. I am concerned if the Ravens win about playing the Patriots.
