Week 15 NFL Predictions (Current Record 131-80)


Jacksonville at Atlanta  Falcons



Dallas at Tampa Bay  Cowboys


Carolina at Houston  Texans


Washington at NY Giants   Redskins


Miami at Buffalo  Bills


Seattle at Chicago  Bears


New Orleans at Minnesota  Saints


Cincinnati at St. Louis  Bengals



Tennessee at Indianapolis  Colts


Green Bay at Kansas City  Packers


Detroit at Oakland  Raiders


New England at Denver  Broncos


NY Jets at Philadelphia  Eagles


Cleveland at Arizona  Cardinals


Baltimore at San Diego  Ravens



Pittsburgh at San Francisco  49ers

As the NFL gets down to the wire, a win keeps hope alive for the post season, and a lost can kill all dreams. There are three teams that are 6-7 going into this week, and a lost along with a win from another team will spell the end of their playoff hopes.  With four teams with 8-5 records, a win will help them, but by no means will it seal the deal for these teams. In the AFC, The Texans, Ravens, Patriots and Steelers all are 10-3 and none of these teams shows any signs of slowing down. With the Steelers facing another 10-3 team, the 49ers, this will be the most exciting Monday Night Football game of the season.
Since Becoming a starter, he has only lost one game, but Tim Tebow has biggest challenge to date. This week, he looks to face Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Many are saying that Tebow is not an NFL quarterback. Tebow responds by going out there each and every week and winning games. Going against a team that does not have a great defense, things should be a huge testament game for Tebow. When Tebow took over, he was his Broncos were not even thought about when it came to playoff talks. Currently, they hold the fifth seed and a win Sunday will help propel them closer to the playoffs.

Ravens to Move Training Camp to Owings Mills

In the words of Allen Iverson, "practice, we talking about practice." Baltimore Ravens fans are upset because the team has decided to change where they hold their training camp. For years, the team has held training camp in Westminster at McDaniel College. Due to the NFL lockout, they had to move it to their normal practice facility in Owings Mills. Due to the permits from Baltimore County, as of now fans are unable to attend. Many fans feel that they are losing a type of connection with the team. But what is more important here, watching the fans practice and getting an autograph, or when the season begins, cheering them on as they pummel the Pittsburgh Steelers at home 35-7? With the big picture being the Super Bowl, being well prepared is everything.

Former Ravens defensive tackle, Michael McCrary recently indicated the importance of facility in Owings Mills. He stressed the fact that there is a lot more equipment even pointing out the fact that there is no need for players to wait in line for a cold tub. McCrary also made fans aware of the limited amound of practices due to the new collective bargaining unit. So if there is less time for error. You have only a few times to get it right. As a fan, it is more important for the Ravens to practice in the best facility and recieve all the best treatment. Remember they still have their own radio shows, and they still are very active in the community. If this helps build a Super Bowl, well then practice in Owings  Mills, keep the fans out, and lets see winners in January and February.

Ravens go into the Dog Pound and Pound on those Nasty Browns




While the rain poured down in Cleveland, the Ravens (9-3) poured a heavy dose of Ray Rice all over the Browns (4-8) defense, as they defeated the Browns 24-10.

Ray Rice set a new career rushing record finishing with 204 yards. Rice finished the game with one touchdown off of 29 carries including a huge 67 yard run. In this game he averaged 7.0 yards per carry. The Ravens finished with a total of 290 yards rushing. Backup running back, Ricky Williams finished with his season high of 76 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 4.8 yards per carry on 16 attempts.

With the ground game being so successful, the Ravens did not need much of an air attack. Unlike any other game, the Ravens had a total of 55 rushing attempts. Joe Flacco managed the game well. While he only threw for 158 yards without a touchdown, he also did not throw an interception.

Next week, the Ravens return to M&T Bank Stadium to face a Peyton Manning-less Indianapolis Colts (0-12). The Colts have been threatening many weeks of the season to win their first game, but they have been unable to do so. The Ravens have lost only three games this season, two to teams under .500. However, they will not be on the road this time, and the Ravens do not lose at home often. At the time of where the playoff race is heating in the AFC, this is a game that the Ravens need to go out and win in the first quarter. A lost here could be devestating as the teams they are tied with, Houston Texans and the New England Patriots are facing teams who are currently outside the playoff picture (Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Redskins respectively).
