I really don't see the Ravens beating the Patriots, honestly. The Patriots do have a mediocre defense, but there offense has only gotten better over the off-season. They were one of the best offenses in the league last season, and now they're looking mighty if I do say so myself. Stevan Ridley looked great against the Titans as well. One game is a a small sample, but in games where the Patriots are in the lead (which will be a lot of games, mind you), I think the Patriots will be able to rely on Stevan Ridley to get the job done. I don't see Joe Flacco stepping up and leading the Ravens with a big win over the Patriots. I just don't see it happening. Ray Rice will be a beast like always, but he won't be enough.
