AccuScore says Baltimore is a 65-percent favorite IF

[baltiMOREO&R]

IF

- the Ravens can hold Manning to completing just 65 percent of his passes

- the Ravens intercept him once and

- The Ravens sack him three or more times


1st two are very doable... just need that pressure

They need to keep the bronco's a one demential team.And keeping Peyton passing for all first downs.so the pass rush and knock his neck in the dirt.He's willing to play small ball to keep drives alive and in turn that keep passes short and keeps the pass rush from reaching him before the pass gets off .And thats where Ray linebacks needs to keep those passes from becoming first downs but 3rd and longs He play"s worst games when he gets knock down every shot counts as little as it might seem he hate to be be hit then the turn overs will come The ravens offence needs to get off to a fast start so we don't fall behind and score in the the red zone . Ball control in our key to keep Peyton off the field

The first two should not be a problem, sacking Manning three times, not going to happen with our Defensive Line.

Ngata and Cody have almost no penetration on a regular basis.

Suggs, Kruger and DB's will need to carry just about the entire work load for sacking Manning.

I think stopping the run is pretty important. Manning can obviously still take over a game with the passing attack, but when the run is going well, he's unstoppable.

The Ravens and Texans should just forfeit so America can get what they want: Manning v.s. Brady in the AFC Title game. (sarcasm)

Baltimore @ Houston would be a dream come true.

Do NFL fans really want to see the same teams/players every year? Makes the sport pretty boring unless you're actually a fan of one of the teams.

The last time Manning vs. Brady was the AFCC was 2006, so yeah in this case that is what most NFL fans want. It is the equivalent to Frazier/Ali. A chance to see two of the top QB's of this era duel to go to the superbowl, maybe for the last time. If you ask the fans outside of Houston and Baltimore what game they want to see I guarantee that it would be New England at Denver by a wide margin.
