Small note, we have won 26 of 32 at home.  I dont understand why they are favored.  We play good at home.

we're a little schizoid right now as a team...we're not doing sht we should be and doing sht we shouldnt...

I hope everyone on the pregame shows pick them too.

They are not going to score more than 17-20 on us. The question is can we score 21 or more against them. Their offense is not that good. The issue is how good is our offense against them. I hope Norv has dialed up all kind of screens, reverse screens, crossing routes for CMC and Samuel, reverses, etc.

Their linebackers aren't great which should really play to our strengths.

I agreed with you until your last sentence. 2 of their linebackers are Terrell Suggs (7 time pro bowler, 131 career sacks) and CJ Mosley (has made the pro bowl 3 out of his first 4 years in the league). Our offense will have play to their ability and execute. 

Its definitely not a great sign we're an underdog at home. At least the public betting looks looks somewhat close to equal.

Probably because Cam was on the injury report.

Panthers a home dog?

Vegas has us 33 to 1 to win the super bowl and the saints 8 to 1 I bought a $100 ticket at 50 to 1 in August The latest update is we are 40 to 1 Saints 6 to 1 and ravens 10 to 1 even tho we have a better record than ravens

Suggs is not really a linebacker and let's be real he came into the league in 2003. He is older than Davis. Not a match for our speed at all. Dummervil is a DE and isn't really a linebacker either. You might as well call them DEs. So you end up with Moseley who has missed 2 games with injury and hasn't played well so far this season. One pass breakup, no interception. Not a probowler this year so far. and you got Young who has potential but little experience. No their linebackers can be exploited by fast shifty players which we have several. Their secondary benefits from their pass rush. If Cam can get the ball out and make plays their defense can be exploited. It won't be easy by any means but what game really is. We play much better at home and are 3-0. I will be there screaming and making noise doing.my best 12th man imitation.

I would love to see our record as favourites vs underdogs.    The games this season could have gone either way, let your gut decide who will win.

Probably because their defense is only giving up 15 ppg on the road.

So I’ve been wondering why the Ravens are favored?  Not that they aren’t good but 1). We are at home. 2). They have 1 more loss than us. 3) they lost to the Browns. Usually the only way a visiting team is favored is if the are CLEARLY the better team. I don’t get it

I think they're favored because on paper they're a better team than we are.  Not so sure that stat line will translate in to real game performance though.

 

That and the fact that they've obliterated us the past few times we've played them.

[jumpman910]

We've needed fourth quarter scoring to win games and they've given up like 19 fourth quarter points all season(12 against the saints). 

If we start slow we won't win this game

Vegas trap game. You gamble bro?
