I don't know if you have ever taken a flight to california or not, but that is a long time to be on a plane. To take a 5-7 hour flight to come home for 3 or 4 days just to take the same type of flight again is highly taxing on the body. It makes way more sense to stay out west where the players know they can rest and not have to keep packing bags every other day. I don't know about you, but I would like the Ravens to win as many games as they can this year, I would love to see them get the no. 1 or 2 seed. If that means they have to stay out west for half the season then so be it. Go Ravens.
