The defending Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens will try to get some things fixed after getting torched for seven TDs by Peyton Manning in their opener. But is it fixable? Baltimore lost a lot of talent and leadership from a defense that has mostly dominated in recent years. Gone are the emotional and statistical leaders from this defense. The Ravens opened up the playbook for Joe Flacco at the end of last season and it delivered a Super Bowl. As a result, they gave Joe Flacco a big contract, and the offense is now the focal point of this team. Baltimore will get RT Michael Oher back for this game, which will only assist the running game. Cleveland simply made too many mistakes against Miami, got behind and was forced to the air, and that did not work out so well. Baltimore simply doesn't have the ability to get pressure in the same way Miami did a week ago, and I think Brandon Weeden will have a lot more time, and he will also be able to get Trent Richardson more involved in the running game early. The Ravens went for 27 points and almost 400 yards on the road last week vs. at least as good of a defense as they will face at home this week. The Ravens have opened things up after a loss, where they are 12-4 to the OVER in their last 16. Look for Joe Flacco behind a raucous crowd to go nuts here. Make the play on the OVER.
