I think Denver will beat us, with the way they match up to us.
The Giants game is going to be tough; a toss up that can go either way.

I expect us to win every single other game; I see no reason why we cannot finish up 12 - 4 for the third straight year

Yep, 12-4, winning the division and have Bye week, would be great. Winning the division is the key. Going to playoffs as a Wild Card and playing on the road is not a good option for us.

Right now, there are only 6 teams at .500 or above in the AFC. At that rate, even 8-8 gets into the playoffs. I tend to expect the Ravens to go 3-1 every quarter, though I hope they do better than that for the remainder of the season.

I've always told my Father this when he get's weary about a loss. 3-1 every 4 games is 12-4 season, that's awesome.
The only game I see the Ravens losing from here out is maybe the Denver game at home, but they're so tough at home. Averaging ~37 points a game. I don't care if Peyton lights them up for 4-5 TDs, the offense has shown it can score at home. San Diego could be a loss because the Ravens just don't play well when they go THAT FAR west, not to mention San Diego is very inconsistent, but I think the Ravens luck out.

13-3. Texans would have to slip up. I thought Chicago was a loss so I'm thinking the Texans also go 13-3 at worst. They win the tie-breaker though.

The way is see it now that Ben is out we could take 2 from the steelers.

Chargers- close game and i hope Rivers does not make us his get back on track team. The guy is a good QB. He has a gun for an arm. Loss

The Redskins- They scare me, a mobile QB that has a good arm. We already loss to one Mobile QB but the difference is RG3 makes better decisions. Loss

Denver Broncos- Um, Peyton can tear us apart and the defense is better then it was last year. Not even a contest in my eyes. Loss

NY Giants- Eli is looking awful and has been said to have a dead arm right now so we might be getting him at the right time. Win

The Bengals- In Cincy. This will be a game where we rely on Joe's talent away from home and i hope a win in Steeler country gives him some confidence. Win

I have us at 11-5 when all is said and done. How do you see it unfolding friends ?

With Ben out, I agree our chances really went up and it is likely we sweep them. Win x 2

Chargers is up in the air. But that long flight always seems to get us. Loss

Redskins do have a mobile QB, but he is a rookie, and he is pretty much ALL they have. Win

Peyton is not what he used to be and [u]they[/u] have to make that long flight, advantage Ravens. Win

Giants and Eli are way over rated, and the Ravens will be the most recent team to prove it. Win

Cincy will be a tough game as usual, but we will take it as usual. Win


13-3.

[I AM LEGEND]

The 4 top teams in the AfC won yesterday...thanks Jacksonville. .

So we have

Texans 8-2
RAVENS 8-2

denver 7-3
New England 7-3

Steelers 6-4
Colts 6-4

With a rising Bengals team


There are HUGE remaining AFC games...

Houston vs Pats
Ravens vs Broncos
Steelers vs Ravens/Bengals

Tons more

That wildcard looks as of now to be going to the Bengals/Steelers/Colts and maybe chargers
