Super Bowl Predictions
Baltimore Ravens over the Green Bay Packers

The Baltimore Ravens have gotten rid of a lot of "dead" weight on their team from the previous years. Derrick Mason, Willis McGahee and Todd Heap were all pro bowl players, however their pro bowl days are over, and they were not able to help deliver the city of Baltimore a Super Bowl Championship. Now having a well balanced receiving core, with the addition of Lee Evans and Torrey Smith (rookie), the Ravens now have the ability to stretch the field. With guys such as Ray Lewis and Ed Reed who are both near the end of the road, this team looks to come and play harder than ever before because it is now or never. The Ravens are my predictions to win the 2011 Super Bowl.

The Green Bay Packers a year ago won the Super Bowl with nearly an entire second string. This year they are dangerous. Their starters are returning, and with a lot of teams making a lot of changes in the NFL, they are one of the few teams who are still intact. I would not be surprised to see this team win their first ten games. However, the chances of winning a Super Bowl two years in a row are very slim, and with a team like the Baltimore Ravens who has a lot of heart, I look for the Packers to fall just short.
