We have mentioned the fact that the trend is for the NFC to win
the Super Bowl this year. Trends are just that, Trends, and like
rules, they are made to be broken. The AFC will break the trend
and it will not be the Patriots breaking the trend but the
Baltimore Ravens will win it all and they are a nice 13 to 1
odds. Value wise this is almost as good as the odds for the
Vikings. I see the Ravens playing against the Vikings in the
Super Bowl with Baltimore becoming the new CHAMPIONS.
The Ravens have been down since their glory year in 2000. They
have since gone 10-6, 7-9, 10-6, and 9-7. This year will be
better with all the changes, and could put them back in the
Super Bowl. Boller will take advantage of all the changes and
Coach Fassell will open up the offense. Bold prediction, if
Boller falls, Wright could step in and have big numbers and move
this team towards the Super Bowl.
Jamal Lewis will be able to play football this year and not
worry about the off the field problems that has plagued him. The
addition of Mason and Clayton will help the passing game but I
think Hymes will have a bigger role than many people think. He
is big and should become the difference maker that this team
needs. Oh, by the way, the Ravens have the best TE in the league
in Todd Heap.
Some say the defense is getting old and to some degree they are
right but this is still the top and most feared defense in the
league. Look for Polley to have a monster year and Suggs to
build off of his great rookie year. With Ray Lewis in the middle
there is no reason to worry about this defense.
Baltimore should be 5-1 or 4-2 before the first showdown with
the Steelers on Halloween. If Baltimore can beat the Steelers in
Pittsburgh then they will have the inside track to win the
division. Even if they lose this game they will be able to
bounce back and have at least 3 more wins before they go to
Denver on December 11th. They finish with Green Bay and
Minnesota (Super Bowl Preview) at home before they end the
season at Cleveland.
Super Bowl 2006 Final Score will be: Baltimore 38 - Minnesota 17
