Ravens Coverage: Baltimore Beatdown

In a highly anticipated early-season match-up, the New England Patriots travel to Baltimore to take down the Ravens on Sunday Night Football on NBC.

We've broken down the game in detail, and we've highlighted again and again how the odds are against the Patriots in this one. The Ravens are the angry team looking for revenge, they are at home, the Patriots are without Aaron Hernandez... blah blah blah.

To tell you the truth, the Patriots do have some reason to feel disrespected heading into this game. Everyone seems to be picking against them. Hell, I even picked against them - and I rarely, if ever, do that. The Patriots won't be phased by the Ravens' emotion, and I expect the game to come down to the wire. Greg's Prediction: Ravens 24, Patriots 20
