Pre-Game:
Looks like we are going to have a pretty solid game to watch on Monday Night Football. Both teams are in second place in their respected division, fighting for a top position or a wild card playoff birth. This is a pivotal and crucial game for both the Ravens and Packers. Green Bay beat the Lions last week on Thanksgiving Day, 34-12 in Detroit and the Ravens beat the Steelers 20-17 in Baltimore on Sunday Night. We will see what team comes up with the better football strategy, this should be a great and exciting game to watch.

Baltimore Ravens:
As I keep saying about the Ravens, they are a better football team than a 6-5 record going into Week 13, and that’s why Baltimore is going to give the Packers all they can handle. The Ravens offense has been playing pretty well and their defense has been playing even better. The Ravens defense is ranked 4th in the NFL in total points per game allowed at an impressive 17.1 points. If Baltimore’s offense could just put up a few more points per game they would be leading their division.

Green Bay Packers:
The Packers main statistics on offense and defense are very good, but they have had a very easy schedule of teams to play against. And, when they play good teams they get beat up pretty bad. I mean look at most of their wins; Bears, Browns, Lions twice, 49ers, Rams. Come on, and they lost to the Bucs and the Vikings have owned them during their two match-ups. Green Bay is close, but they still have a ways to go if they want to be a Super Bowl contender.

Baltimore Ravens vs Green Bay Packers Prediction:
I predict this being a great Monday Night Football game, especially since it’s being played in Green Bay. On paper the Packers have the better team, but I like the Ravens in this game. Until Aaron Rogers finds a way to win games, like Brett Favre does, and doesn’t just concentrate on building his stats, the Packers consistency will be thrown out the window. In the NFL it’s all about playing consistent football on both offense and defense. If Rogers doesn’t sit in the pocket for too long and take sacks all day, the Packers will have a very good chance at winning this game. However, I do predict the Ravens defense putting lots of pressure on Rogers and throwing him off his game. In the end I foresee the Ravens winning this game and beating the point spread in a lower scoring game.

Jasper’s Prediction:
Ravens Win, Beat Point Spread and I take the Under
