AFC Championship: Ravens@Patriots

[Chinook]

Will Lewis make it passed another nemesis on his way to a career-capping Superbowl birth, or will Brady's legend grow a bit more?

Next week has the answers, but I decided to get the topic started now. Gronk's injury is fresh news, and it could be a game-changer.

Who you got (although I imagine most will say Patriots)?

[DeadlyDynasty]

I like Baltimore to pull the upset, 30-27

[Lincoln]

Ravens

[Clipper Nation]

Ravens look like a team of destiny right now.... 27-23, Ravens win...

[FYM]

Pats but going to be a tough game

[irishock]

NE 27-24

[lefty]

Ravens can win the game TBH

[Ghazi]

Pats win, Ravens cover. 28-24

[rayray2k8]

Goddamn. Ray Lewis could give a speech to kittens and turn them into lions.

it's a funny world we live in where everybody loves a piece of , religion-preaching murderer, but most of them hate Tom Brady because of his hair cut and the fact that he promotes Uggs..

but he screams a lot and says that doesn't make any sense, but he does it in the name of the Lord, tbh..

[Ghazi]

can't stand lewis tbh... only rooting for the Ravens because it would be an easier opponent for the Niners.

[gambit1990]

[Ghazi]

We're a sad society in general. Just the fact that we're so fascinated by random black men bumping into each other with tights on when none of them give two s about any of us.

Not so fast big BUMP! Sports have been a form of entertainment for thousands of years.

No sadder than living in a society where people are constantly accused of things they didn't do.

You can't deny that Ray has the respect of many players in the NFL. It's amazing how far-reaching his connections go. I don't think Brady gets that same amount of adoration from his peers. People love Ray because of the way he plays on the field, not because of how many times he mentions God. They "hate" Tom Brady for the same reason. Ray is the embodiment of the NFL that most of us grew up watching: hard hits, physically imposing your will on others, player fraternity. Brady is the embodiment of the new NFL: explosive passing at the expense of defense and the running game, disproportional protection for quarterbacks, questionable calls. Maybe it's not really fair to pin all of this change on Brady (he's not the one changing rules or letting Spygate go with just a slap on the wrist), but he has been the person who's most benefited from the new league.

Tbh, since Donte Stallworth is on the Pats, we're all rooting for a murderer either way

The person who campaigned for the new rules was Bill Polian because he was frustrated about getting repeatedly raped by Tom Brady's team, so this makes no sense at all.

Harlem still bitter from the loss the other day

Not quite sure how losing a first round pick is a "slap on the wrist".

[Avante]

The Pats are far better this season than they were last season thanks to their running game. While the Ravens were close last year they won't be this year. Pats win and cover.

It seemed like a harsh punishment until Goodell went mad with power in response to Bountygate, tbh....

There was merely TALK of coaches possibly being suspended or banned for Spygate, Goodell actually did it with the Saints and suspended players too....
