    Signed,

    The Seattle Seahawks, San Diego Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars

    PS: Yes, I know those games were on the road. Baltimore's last home game was a 20-14 survival against the mighty Cleveland Browns. :rolleyes:

    The week off for the Ravens, in my opinion, hurts them.

    Texans will keep the fire burning.

    Watt has 3 sacks and a forced fumble. A statue of him is immediately placed outside Reliant.


    Texans - 24
    Ravens - 16

    Yes that is a fair assesment of the Ravens in my opinion.

    We really do need Arian to get going though. Last game against the Ravens, he was a non-factor. Of course, Andre Johnson wasn't playing that game, allowing them to concentrate on our running game more, but this game we are missing Schuab. I feel if Arian can run against this defense; we have a good chance of winning the game.

    I really do feel if we can beat the Ravens at their home, we can go to the superbowl. Ravens are the toughest opponent in the AFC in my opinion.

    First play on offense needs to be the standard bomb deep to AJ or Jacoby. Soften up that Ravens D some and quiet the crowd.

    Couple of points:

    Since the Texans are getting the Sunday game, they will already know who they will potentially be playing in the AFC Championship game with a win at Baltimore. The reason I say that is if the Steelers are able to beat the Broncos and Patriots, the Texans then know that with a win at Baltimore, the AFC championship game will be at Reliant Stadium. Think that would add just a little bit more motivation to their game on Sunday? Knowing that there's a chance the road to the Super Bowl would literally have to go through Houston? I think it would.

    Secondly, the commentators will likely be Gumbel/Dierdorf... I don't really have a problem with them, but I know some here can't stand the latter.

    Your point is misleading... yes most of the ravens losses came against poop teams..
    - but that shows that the ravens are ready for the playoffs, they beat good and great teams
    - no more stinky teams to beat the ravens in the playoff
    - once again its all about which flacco shows up

    Patriots are the team to beat imo. They'll just outscore everybody in the AFC.

    I think we beat the Ravens by 7
