Brady usually identifies the weakest CB on the field (Jerraud Powers most likely) and just targets him relentlessly for easy, quick completions, nullifying the Ravens pass rush. Same happened with Rashaan Melvin in 2014 and Cary Williams in 2012. I highly doubt they run the ball much, since that's the Ravens' strength, and history illustrates they have no problem throwing every single down.

Ravens will probably struggle on offense. The Dolphins game was an outlier--the Ravens offense is still shit, and they still struggle to run the ball. Only reason Flacco was able to carve them up is because they had no pass rush and their zone defense was pure garbage. Patriots will probably blitz consistently, play man (which is more effective against Balt's mediocre receivers), and make Flacco hold the ball longer and take sacks/throw it away. Stopping the run won't be too difficult for the Patriots, since the Ravens already struggle in that facet of the game.

Ravens get exposed for being overrated. Patriots win 31-16

I've actually been getting a good percentage of picks right this week, including nba. Just haven't risked much to win much.

I pretty much just go straight to Tawes Hall twice a week and then go straight home lol. I live 90 mins from campus, so I'm a commuter student 100%, don't do anything on campus.
