Being a level headed Ravens and NFL fan, and understanding the lack of parity in this league and the history of this team under the harbaugh-flacco era, this is my 2015 season prediction. Although we will be a good team, I don’t see us being much better than last year, due to a lot of questionable/ yet to be proven replacements (aka Perriman, Williams, Kendrick Lewis, etc). But keep in mind, we were a solid team last year, except for our secondary woes and that dip we took mid to late season. @ DEN L (27-24 OT Loss) ..Fans expect a shootout but ends up being a defensive game with late scoring, Denver pulls a tough overtime win for the home crowd. Peyton seems a bit rusty but pulls through. Flacco plays decent. @OAK W (38-14) ..We come out blasting the raiders defense, Flacco and the WR’s have a big game. CIN W (20-16) ..Close game, but with a big game from forsett we finally beat cincy and pull out win first game at home. @PIT L (23-21) ..Typical close, physical game on both sides, but Pittsburgh wins the chess match. CLE W (26-13) ..First half is tight, second half we put it to them, fairly easy win. @SF L (27-17) ..San Fran pulls the upset, kap has big game with his legs. We hear it from 49ers fans all week that they should’ve won super bowl XLVII while we laugh at them and call them stupid. @AZ W (35-14) ..We take it to AZ, huge defensive game with a couple picks. SD L (31-24) ..Tough game against imo one of the best AFC teams in 2015, Stays close but Rivers upsets us yet again and Melvin Gordon has big game and we go into bye with a 4-4 record, and fans start questioning the season. JAX W (33-9) ..We rest up and turn right back around and destroy jax on both sides of ball, coming out party for Perriman. STL W (28-17) ..Solid defensive game and solid performance from the O puts us at a record of 6-4, continuing our fight for playoff spot. @CLE L (16-13 OT loss) ..Our one trap game of the season, Clevelands D shuts us down and we begin to question playoff hopes yet again. @MIA W (45- 38) ..Both teams come out firing in sunny Miami, this will be one of the best games of the season, both teams fighting for playoff spot and we come out on top. Flacco and Tannehill both have huge games. The whole week leading up to this game all the fantasy football analysts are telling you to start these two QBs, and this game proves them right. SEA L (19-17) ..Tough low scoring game for the full 60 minutes. Reminds us of CLE game 2 weeks ago, but sloppy all around. Bad weather. The current ravens MB game thread is on fire with anger. LOB and our secondary cause both flacco and wilson to throw at least a pick or two, but a last minute field goal by seattle puts them on top after a frustrating day. KC W (23-6) ..This game we come out playing sound, mistake free football and begin to run the table for the rest of the season. PIT W (27-20) ..Our team knows what’s at stake, close game but we come out on top with a defensive stand and solid run game for the full 60 minutes. @CIN W (34-10) ..We travel to cincy fired up, while theyre struggling from a tough season and hanging on by a thread. This leads to an easy blowout win, putting the dagger in cincys playoff hopes in their own town, causing the eventual firing of marvin lewis, and we cruise into the playoffs with a 10-6 record, 2nd in afc north behind Pittsburgh. If the team is healthy heading into playoffs (especially secondary and offensive line), we have the potential to at least make it to AFC championship… possible rematch with chargers, who may be number 1 seed in AFC. We beat them in Diego, we’re in the bowl playing against Seattle or Green Bay.
