No question the Ravens will win this game.

Chad Pennington's last game in the NFL. Ravens win big.

Ravens! I am hoping they make it to the super bowl.

I think you guys are underestimating the Dolphins. They have played really well at home this season, and Chad Pennington has had some playoff experience. And Joe Flacco hasn't, and that will be the difference.

Dolphins win.

Baltimore gave Miami all they could handle and then some earlier in the season, but it was a close game till the beg of the 4th, and then Miami forgot how to stop the run. It will be interesting to see how Miami's staff adjusts to the Ravens D from the 1st game to this one.

If it is Miami who comes out on top, it's going to be because they didn't turn the ball over 1st and foremost, and they found a way to utilize their offense to their advantage; direct snaps/flea flickers/wild hog.

Miami 13 Baltimore 10

After the Ravens' 2-3 start, we're 9-2 and playing some really good football.

The fact that we have one of the top running games actually makes our offense credible. It also helps that we have a QB who can throw the pigskin with accuracy and power.

Flacco has been in some high-pressure situations this season and has handled himself much better than a rookie should, so I'm expecting a really good game.

What has me worried is the resurgence of Pennington. The Ravens CANNOT defend the non-deep pass (the deep pass we can defend because of Ed Reed). Any medium pass will most likely be completed since Rolle has regressed and McAlister is out and probably done as a Raven (and since Frank Walker/Fabian Washington suck giant monkey balls).

I'm not going to make a prediction because it usually just turns out to be a disappointment.

BTW: This sucks that we have to play on the road with a better record. lol

I really like this Baltimore team. While Miami is a great story, I just don't see them being able to win this game. That Baltimore D will step up and get the job done.

20-13 Ravens.

Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are just too good when it comes to playing in January. This is their homecoming of sorts coming back to the U territory in Miami and they will be a rude awakening to the upstart Dolphins.

23-10 Ravens

21-14 Ravens.

Ahhh, nothing says January like the ACF playoffs!

I'm hoping for and predicting a Miami win.

Jumped on the Ravens bandwagon week 11 when my Bills took a serious downslide and I'm not turning now. I love their swarming defence and ability to run the ball effectively. Also the play of Joe Flacco has been incredible for a rookie. Miami is a whole new team this year and are not a team to take lightly. I trust the Ravens D to stop the wildcat and for the Ravens to take this one.

Ravens 17
Dolphins 13

Ravens will win this game, they will ride their great running game and defense deep into the playoffs.

As of right now Baltimore is favored to win by 3 points. O/U 37.

Ravens.
Kinda mad they diddnt lose to the jets

it says alot about the ravens defense, for everyone to be picking them to win on the road in a rookie quarterbacks first playoff game

in the game at Miami earlier in the season, our backup NT was suspended for the game, and our starter jason ferguson was hurt in te 1st quarter and didnt return, leaving them to move DE randy starks to play a position hes never played or even practiced at before.

Itll be a close game. less than a touchdown IMO. it should be a good one

Who wins?
