I think the smart money takes the over and hopes Steve McNair stays healthy.  RB Willis McGahee is much faster than Jamal Lewis which should help the Ravens run more effective on the perimeter.  Also, look for the Ravens to take advantage of #3 WR Demetrius Williams’ explosive speed when teams cheat up to stop the run.  The defense will again be one of the best in the NFL due to the awesome talent they have in every unit.  Take the over with confidence.

The over/under is 8 wins for the Baltimore Ravens.  The Ravens are 30-1 to win the Super Bowl, and 14-1 to win the AFC.

The suggestion here is that the bookies are right on the money here.  I think the Ravens will finish 8-8, but a key bounce either way could be the big difference in the over or the under.  Keep your money in your pocket.

The Ravens have dominated the Oakland Raiders for awhile now.  The Ravens have covered in six of the last seven meetings, including the last three in Baltimore.  The Raiders are breaking in Aaron Brooks who has a penchant for throwing the ball up for grabs when he feels the heat coming, and I have no doubt the Ravens will be bringing it.  So week two, take the Ravens and laugh all the way to the bank.
