This is going to be one heck of a battle! The Patriots have a hall of fame QB, hall of fame WR,Hall of Fame HC, and home field.

The Ravens will counter with will power and determination. It has gotten the Ravens close to upsetting the Pat's twice before, but will that one pivitol play,penalty,coaching decision that has been the difference in those games go the Ravens way this week?
