I usually don't nitpick over a spot here or there - you can argue for one team or another. But the CBS dude had us at 12 to start the season? Wow.

And he had the Bengals at #7 to start. Can you say DOH!?!?

Brainy Brian Billick does the fox one and he has our back:

This may be the best team the Ravens have ever fielded. Even without the injured Terrell Suggs, the defense applied consistent pressure and made Bengals QB Andy Dalton uncomfortable all day. Ray Lewis looks ageless as he continues to fly around the field.

Prisco is a Raven's hater every year. Every year he has us ranked significantly below everyone else; and every year we go deeper in the playoffs than his rankings indicate is plausible.

Yeah, he had us finishing 3rd in the AFCN without a playoff spot...Cincy 1st, Steelers 2nd with a wild card...

This does bother me a little, Ravens swept the AFCN and were division champs..and nearly made the SB, meanwhile the Bungles lose in the 1st round as do the Steelers to TEBOW! But little to no respect for the Ravens.

Wow. Did Brian Billick watch the same game I did, or just the 4th quarter?

guess he just saw the highlights on NFLN. actually if you read between the lines this is his way of saying "I won the SB with less talent than they have now!"
