Ray Lewis

It'll be a close shoot-out.

Baltimore Ravens at Indianapolis Colts
8:15PM ET CBS 

Ray Lewis and the Ravens made the most of their playoff berth by completely dominating the New England Patriots last weekend. Now they travel to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy to meet Peyton Manning. QB Joe Flacco's hip injury was overblown, so he'll be ready to sling it downfield if he has to. However, I won't be surprised if the Ravens come out with the same gameplan as last weekend, running the ball 52 times and only attempting ten passes. Lewis and safety Ed Reed keep their emotional defense in check and disciplined against Manning or it could be a long day.

Reed should be healthy enough to play after nursing a groin injury for part of the regular season. Ray Lewis is as demonstrative as ever, but that defensive line featuring Haloti Ngata and Trevor Pryce will be the biggest factor in whether Baltimore can pull off the upset.

ars battered and bruised. 

(5-8) Chicago Bears at
(7-6) Baltimore Ravens 

Led by Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, the Baltimore defense thrives on shutting down the run and confusing the opposing quarterback into throwing interceptions. This will be their lucky day, as our offense excels at running the ball poorly and turning it over. *Update: The Ravens will be without safety Ed Reed and receiver Mark Clayton.* Regardless of the outcome, I would like to see Lovie Smith let some of his younger talent on the field just so we know what we might have for next season. (Juaquin Iglesias anyone?) Seeing as how many reports have Smith returning for the 2010 campaign, I wouldn't think that's too much to ask. Though so far Lovie's been focused on trying to win meaningless games and not the future.

Take that Ray Lewis.

  

(5-0) New Orleans Saints 48
(5-1) New York Giants 27 

What was supposed to be the best game of the weekend was over by halftime. Drew Brees let loose with another four TD’s as the Saints pwned the Giants in Louisiana. But the football sky isn’t falling in New York… at least not for Giants fans.

ely, they’re facing a Ravens squad that is fuming after their loss to the Patriots last week. Ray Lewis and that swarming defense will try to make a statement at the expense of their division rival.

has everyone gotten the “don’t touch or breathe on Tom Brady’s legs” memo? Ray Lewis, you can complain all you want about bad penalties or ball spots; it still doesn’t change that fact that your defense let Tom Brady get fourteen points in the second quarter. You’re 3-1; it wasn’t the AFC Championship game. Man up and take the loss.

           On Saturday night, the Cowboys had a golden opportunity to close out Texas Stadium in style.  This was the final game to be played at the stadium.  A Cowboys win would have been a fitting end to a stadium that has had many classic games.  A win, and the Cowboys would have been one step further in their quest for a playoff berth, and a Super Bowl run.

           Each week, on Friday, I will look into my (never wrong, just misinformed) crystal ball and give my predictions for that weekend’s games.  I will always prognosticate on the Eagles and Cowboys games and then pick two or more games of interest (to me, that is, not necessarily to you).  Keep in mind, that this is for entertainment purposes only, and that I do not endorse any sort of legal or illegal gambling.  That being said…let’s see what’s in my crystal ball!

When you got players like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed question their head coach in the media than changes need to be made. Unfortunately for Ravens fans it could be another long season for them next
