In conclusion I pick the Ravens to go this season 9-7 and this is why. Everyone knows the saying history repeats itself and that is the case with the Ravens. Beginning with 2001, with the exception of 2005, the Baltimore Ravens have made the playoffs every other year. YES, the Ravens do have consistency at the QB position and offensive tackle positions and YES, the Ravens still have one of the best monster defenses in the league; but in my opinion last year was just a fairytale, honestly the Ravens didn't deserve to go all the way to the AFC Championship, I mean the refs actually let Joe Flacco throw the ball after the clock expired against the Titans, without that play the Ravens would have been eliminated. If the Colts would have advanced in the playoffs without those stupid OT rules or if the Pats would have made the playoffs without these stupid rules about division leaders then I guarantee you the Ravens would have got DUSTED! The way they were playing during the playoffs was pure LUCKINESS which is why they got a easy schedule this year. You also have to remember that there is no consistency at Wide Receiver and Running Back, McGahee and Mason are banged up and the way that McClain runs the football I'm not sure if he could last all season. Now whether a 9-7 record would be the difference between playoffs and no playoffs I'm not sure, but in my honest opinion thats where I see them going and I HOPE I AM WRONG!

Here are my optimistic predictions, if all goes well
Week 1: Sunday, Sept. 13 — vs. Kansas City, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 20 — at San Diego, 4:15 p.m. WIN

Week 3: Sunday, Sept. 27 — vs. Cleveland, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 4: Sunday, Oct. 4 — at New England, 1 p.m. LOSE

Week 5: Sunday, Oct. 11 — vs. Cincinnati, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 6: Sunday, Oct. 18 — at Minnesota, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 7: BYE

Week 8: Sunday, Nov. 1 — vs. Denver, 1 p.m. LOSE

Week 9: Sunday, Nov. 8 — at Cincinnati, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 10: Sunday, Monday, Nov. 16 — at Cleveland, 8:30 p.m. WIN

Week 11: Sunday, Nov. 22 — vs. Indianapolis, 1 p.m. LOSE

Week 12: Sunday, Nov. 29 — vs. Pittsburgh, 8:20 p.m. WIN

Week 13: Monday, Dec. 7 — at Green Bay, 8:30 p.m. WIN

Week 14: Sunday, Dec. 13 — vs. Detroit, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 15: Sunday, Dec. 20 — vs. Chicago, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 27 — at Pittsburgh, 1 p.m. LOSE

Week 17: Sunday, Jan. 3 — at Oakland, 4:15 p.m. WIN

So the most games I see them winning is 12 and the most games I see them losing is 4, so of course that 12-4

Here is my pessimistic schedule, if all hell breaks loose
Week 1: Sunday, Sept. 13 — vs. Kansas City, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 20 — at San Diego, 4:15 p.m. LOSE

Week 3: Sunday, Sept. 27 — vs. Cleveland, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 4: Sunday, Oct. 4 — at New England, 1 p.m. LOSE

Week 5: Sunday, Oct. 11 — vs. Cincinnati, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 6: Sunday, Oct. 18 — at Minnesota, 1 p.m. LOSE

Week 7: BYE

Week 8: Sunday, Nov. 1 — vs. Denver, 1 p.m. LOSE

Week 9: Sunday, Nov. 8 — at Cincinnati, 1 p.m. LOSE

Week 10: Sunday, Monday, Nov. 16 — at Cleveland, 8:30 p.m. LOSE

Week 11: Sunday, Nov. 22 — vs. Indianapolis, 1 p.m. LOSE

Week 12: Sunday, Nov. 29 — vs. Pittsburgh, 8:20 p.m. LOSE

Week 13: Monday, Dec. 7 — at Green Bay, 8:30 p.m. LOSE

Week 14: Sunday, Dec. 13 — vs. Detroit, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 15: Sunday, Dec. 20 — vs. Chicago, 1 p.m. WIN

Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 27 — at Pittsburgh, 1 p.m. LOSE

Week 17: Sunday, Jan. 3 — at Oakland, 4:15 p.m. WIN

So in my pessimistic schedule I see the Ravens losing 10 at the most and winning 6 at the least, so thats 6-10.

LETS REVIEW
HONEST: 9-7
OPTIMISTIC: 12-4
PESSIMISTIC: 6-10

SO WHICH RECORD DO I CHOOSE TO HOLD ON 2?
Um.....................................Um.......................................................Um............................................................................

Lets go with 12-4 that is the record I am sticking with for the rest of the season, although the last time I predicted they would go 12-4, I was on local radio at WNST in their studios with a couple of guys like Rex Snider and Mark Suchy (2 local radio guys), and the next season they went 5-11, but because I'm a Ravens fan and very hopeful, and I hear that the Ravens are looking into Anquan Boldin and Darius Heyward-Bey and Hakeem Nicks and a whole bunch of other people I'm goin' 2 take a leap of faith and have faith in them.

BUT I CAN GUARANTEE A COUPLE OF THINGS:
-If they do not go 12-4, they will either go:
a. 6-10
b. 9-7
c. 0-16
d.5-11
Nothing higher unless the guy you bow down your knees to every night is playing or nothing lower if high school amatuers are'nt playing

-They WILL beat Kansas City, Oakland, Detroit

-They WILL beat Cincy, Cleveland AT LEAST ONCE

-The following 7 games and 1 week WILL determine the Ravens season:

Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 20 — at San Diego, 4:15 p.m.
WHY? Because it's their 1st West-Coaster

Week 4: Sunday, Oct. 4 — at New England, 1 p.m.
WHY? N.E. wants to prove they deserved to be in the playoffs not Baltimore

Week 7: BYE
WHY? Injuries

Week 10: Sunday, Monday, Nov. 16 — at Cleveland, 8:30 p.m.
WHY? Only 3 nationally televised games and this one is against a subpar team, you should be able to prove yourselves in PRIMETIME fashion

Week 11: Sunday, Nov. 22 — vs. Indianapolis, 1 p.m.
WHY? When was the last time you beat Indy "Let me think about that?" NEVER!!! What the @!$# happens when you play them it's like David and Goliath with David losing!!

Week 12: Sunday, Nov. 29 — vs. Pittsburgh, 8:20 p.m.
WHY? Who cost you a chance to go to Disney World? That's right thats what I thought

Week 13: Monday, Dec. 7 — at Green Bay, 8:30 p.m.
WHY? It's Lambeau Field, It's ESPN, It's Monday Night Football BABY Can't get any COLDER THAN THIS!

Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 27 — at Pittsburgh, 1 p.m.
WHY? THEY WON THE FREAKIN' SUPER BOWL WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN WHY??
