3:00 p.m. ET, the Baltimore Ravens travel to New England to take on Tom Brady and the Patriots.
The Patriots have been very good at home this season.
The Ravens rush offense has been very good, but their pass offense is unpredictable.
New England’s defense is led by former Bear Mark Anderson, who has 10 sacks this season.
They forced turnovers and brought pressure on Tim Tebow and the Broncos last week in the AFC Divisional Round.
Joe Flacco will have to play flawlessly for the Ravens to have a chance because the Patriots will be bringing pressure consistently on Sunday.
Tom Brady might be too much for the Ravens defense. The Ravens forced three interceptions off of Texans rookie quarterback T.J. Yates in the AFC Divisional Round.
Prediction: New England 27, Baltimore 17.
