The Broncos probably weren't thrilled to draw the Ravens as their first playoff opponent.

The only reason the Broncos might relish playing the Ravens is because they are hurt.

FB Vonta Leach - Knee/ankle; RB Bernard Pierce - Knee; LB Dannell Ellerbe - Ankle; WR David Reed - Thigh; WR Torrey Smith- Back; WR Anquan Boldin - Shoulder; WR Tandon Doss - Ankle; LB Adrian Hamilton - Illness; LB Ray Lewis - Triceps; LB Albert McClellan - Shoulder; DE Pernell McPhee - Thigh; DT Haloti Ngata - Knee; S Bernard Pollard - Chest; S Ed Reed - Shoulder; CB Jimmy Smith - Abdominal; LB Terrell Suggs - Achilles/bicep; Marshal Yanda - Shoulder.

In this game,... even the hurting Ravens will give it their all! There's no tomorrow for this Super Bowl drive!

it is a great place to be . I think bookmakers would love for the ravens to win they will be saying cha ching for weeks and weeks . when i placed my bet the bookmaker said "smart man (ravens of course) I'm right with you " he was wearing a Peyton Manning jersey ...not everyone is convinced that peyton can do it in the cold

I agree John, I don't think the Broncos realize the train that is coming at them full speed. Good! Let the wreakage begin!

This year had been more than just a journey, it's been an adventure. Injuries, coach changes, trageties, adversities, you name it. This has been an up and down roller coaster ride to get us all to this point.

If you had asked me this before I would not have believed it possible, but because of this crazy ride the team and fans have taken together, our bond has actually grown stronger. No matter what happens today, I have to say I am very proud to be a Ravens fan. You guys are simply amazing.

So....let's kick some Bronco .....butt.. and continue this story.

GO RAVENS!

Bettors go where the wind blows.
So to all the bettors who betted on the Broncos, get ready to turn your pockets inside out.
Ravens are ready and fired up, the whole team should me motivated for victory.
They whipped our tail last month, but not today!

[coreyadams]

Jim Caldwell you need to get your old quarterback a "L", Manning thats who.
You get this "W", you'll be well respected be all of us!

Go get them, and have that offensive playbook on fire today.

[Purpleghost23]

Today we start our road to history lets get it done Ravens!!!!

[whobilly]

Yes, the Broncos lost to the Pats by 5 TD's in the playoffs last year with a team that has a completely different style....Peyton Manning/Tim Tebow...QUICK...pick one.
I don't care what happened in the past, I look at the teams playing today in Denver.
Ravens will have to play a near perfect game to win this one. Are they capable? YES !

[Popeye the sailor man]

Oh, the Broncos fear the Ravens,they know that an upset will make them all laughing stocks at least to their fans and critics,everyone healthy so no excuse for the Ravens not to win,Peyton has the pressure on him right now and I'm sure he's feeling very uncomfortable.This game has to be all Joe Flaccos game, the whole season rest in his arms and the receivers has to be at the top of their game and the running backs has to control the timing of the clock,the less time Manning's on the field the better for us to win. Let's go Ravens, lets shake up the world

[Big G]

The Broncos know that this game will be totally different then the last meeting. The game film from that game is meaningless for them, as the Ravens have made so many changes. The Ravens will WIN today. GO RAVENS!!!

[Purple Dawg 96]

The Ravens have them on film and three wide with a single man in the backfield did better than with Vonta playing with Rice! Sorry Vonta! This time when the Defense stops Peyton, the Offense will Execute better and "Finally" defeat Peyton, in his place!

[KidNme]

You know, I'm not a big better either John but maybe, just maybe, that $2 you put on the Preakness, instead,
drop $5 of the Ravens today and you may be able to write your articals from a beach in Maui for a while! :-)

[crabby]

1. All the pressure is on DEN.
2. If they do win they will be as beaten up as every other team playing the Ravens when everything is on the line and have a rough next week.
3. Excellent point about NYG. It's very rare that a team of our caliber gets blown out twice in the same season.

I would hate to be DEN right about now!

Go Ravens!

[DarkKnight52]

Man one would think with everybody all these so called expert analysists Picking the Ravens to lose ,we may not even play this Game WRONG!!!!The thing is the Ravens have nothing to lose and more to gain ,the colts are at home picked by everybody ,if we win i Guess we just get to slap all the Media and Hype of the so called experts in the Mouth ,if the Bronocs lost it would be because they looked Past us,and that's what i am Hoping for ,When we get to Manning we need to Hit him and hit him hard without penalties even if he crys to the refs we need to make sure there clean ,if Our O-line can control the clock this time Manning will be the one watching up at the scoreboard not us.

[DarkKnight52]

not Colts Broncos type down there ,i was thinking in my head way back when this has happened before with Unitas as QB.

[Purpleghost23]

6 hours to go man i cant wait anylonger

[TheCityThatReeds20]

whobilly...the point is it was against basically the same defense

[foxy843]

@jackrogers the Ravens are far from hurt. They put all these people on the injury list, because they were fined early in the year for not including anyone on it.

[CosmicRedPanda]

John, I still haven't made up mind on you as a columnist -- but this was a good piece.

Almost game time... I'm excited!!
