2012 New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens

Not sure many people would have predicted either the Patriots or Ravens to be 1-2 after Week 3, but one of them will be. Neither team wants a losing record going into Week 4 so I foresee both teams scratching and clawing for this win.

New England Patriots:
The Patriots are off to a shaky start in my opinion. Yes, they easily won their first game but they did lose their second against the Arizona Cardinals. But, the reason I am most worried is the lack of protection and time Tom Brady is getting. In both games it’s as if the offensive line decided to no longer block anyone. Tom has been getting pounded which is not a good sign if you’re a Patriots fan.

Baltimore Ravens:
Yes the Raves are 1-1 but they easily could have been 2-0. They look pretty good in my opinion and I continue to see them having a great year. This is a pretty big game for them already early in the season, but I have a feeling they will come out on top. Baltimore’s offense sure has continued to step up and as long as their defense stays strong like in years past, they will always be a tough team to beat.

Game Prediction:
Both the Patriots and Ravens easily won their first game of the regular season, but it was a different story in Week 2. Both teams lost by 1-2 points, but the Patriots had the tougher loss losing to the Cardinals. On the other hand, at least the Ravens lost to a great team in the Eagles. This will be a great game, but it’s being played in Baltimore and they have an extremely solid defense. With the Patriots poor pass protection thus far, I think they will be exposed that much more in this game. With that being said, Ravens beat the point spread in a high scoring game than anticipated.
