Re: Prediction Thread - Ravens @ Steelers
wheres that "how does this team get to 10 wins" thread. Looks more and more easy each week. im now thinking anything under 12-4 may be a bit of a disappointment. the only team that looks imposing is the broncos, luckily we get them at home. SD will be a tough game across the country, but theyve not been playing very well. It wouldnt shock me if we ran the table honestly, and thats with our flaws.

Re: Prediction Thread - Ravens @ Steelers
If we run the table from here for the regular season, we're winning a Lombardi in February. If this team gets going, it won't be stopped in the playoffs.
Hell, if we go unbeaten in November, it's a pretty good omen. We've only ever done it once despite all our winning seasons - 2000.Last edited by Tyrian; 11-15-2012 at 03:10 PM.

Re: Prediction Thread - Ravens @ Steelers
I look at three things...The ravens haven't lost in Pittsburgh since 2009....Since Ben came into the league, the Steelers haven't beaten the Ravens without him under center....and for as bad as some people think the Ravens on the road, in the last 2 seasons + this years trip to the Cleveland, the Ravens are 6-1 in AFCN road games....last loss was the 2nd game of 2010 at Cincinnati.....

Re: Prediction Thread - Ravens @ Steelers
I agree, the rest of the schedule is deceiving, and not as bad as some people are making it out to be. We get the under performing Giants and the high flying Broncos at home two weeks in a row after this stretch which many people would think on paper we should go 3-0 over it (assuming Jen is out for the second game too).
Then our next 3 games are tougher tbf, Broncos will be very hard to beat, but we can certainly beat them at our place, we have looked like arguably the best team in the NFL at home this year (again). A tough one against the Giants, who always seem to get hot down that last stretch, but I think we should be able to beat them too, then you got what may be IMO the more tougher of the three, Cincy on the road, but certainly a very winnable game. I can see us losing one of those games, maybe Cincy on the road, especially if we rest our starters if there is nothing to play for. There is a slight chance that despite our flaws, we could go dare I say it, unbeaten running up to the play offs, but more likely 13-3, or 12-4 losing maybe to the Chargers and the Broncos at home.

Re: Prediction Thread - Ravens @ Steelers
As much as it pains me, I will say
24-16 in favor of the Ravens.
Flacco has played well the last few times out at Heinze Field. If this Ravens offense can figure out what has been ailing them on the road they are going to be murder.

Re: Prediction Thread - Ravens @ Steelers
exactly how i see it. Chances are we lose at least 1 of the remaining games, maybe 2 (i lean towards Cin and DEN as well)... which means 12-4. If we do run the table, which doesnt seem outrageous, we could be looking at home field throughout. hopefully the boys realize thats still a possibility. after all, we do look like the best team in football at home. Id be surprised if we dont get a first round bye, at the least.

Re: Prediction Thread - Ravens @ Steelers
Regardless if Roethlisberger and Polomalu are playing or not, I still think this is going to be a very tough game for the Ravens. I think they're able to pull out a squeaker 20 - 17.

Re: Prediction Thread - Ravens @ Steelers
In order of importance, six factors 'at stake' for the Ravens Sunday night on NBC:
1. Opportunity to demonstrate team (defense, offense) is ready to defend division crown.
2. Advantage due to key starters out for Steelers.
3. Opportunity to set up division first tiebreaker (season-series sweep).
4. Two-game winning streak against Steelers.
5. Eleven-game winning streak against AFC North opponents.
6. Overall two-game winning streak.
Ravens are 4-0 against Steelers in games Roethlisberger has missed (since 2004). The four were decided by 3, 6, 3 and 3 points (according to records at www.pro-football-reference.com). The most recent was in Pittsburgh (17-14 in 2010).
The most important prerequisites for a Ravens win:
- 'Show up' as a team; play 60 minutes.
- Keep their composure; keep mistakes to a minimum.
- Stop the running game;
- Win the time-of-possession battle.
- Win the turnovers battle.

NOTE: This is my first score prediction which contradicts my game-by-game season prediction for the Ravens. So far, I am 9-0 in predicting win/loss for the Ravens this year. I predicted a Ravens loss in Week 11 at Pittsburgh but, given the Steelers' injuries status, I am predicting a win instead.Last edited by Corvus Corax; 11-18-2012 at 05:05 AM.
