Ravens Pre-Game Warmup

Baltimore is what? Defense and just enough offense. That is all I am reading.
I agree with the offense side. As long as the Ravens play like they have all year, So-So, we are in for at least 13 points from this team.
The so called expert say McNair will benfit from Billick calling the plays. Look for them to roll Steve out more than ever. He has been sacked 10 times so far this season. throwing 5 TD's and 7 int. he is averaging 152.5 yds a game and his longest pass is 38 yards. I read this as a QB with alot defenders in his face. No wonder they would move the pocket around to protect him.
As for the running game Lewis is averaging just 59 yards a game and found pay dirt once. He has only two runs longer than 20+ yards. OL again? I think it safe to say.
Now for that defense. They have probly the best DL and LB in the game. The secondary is not shabbie either. they are giving up only 252 yards a game. 181 thru the air and 71 on the ground. man what numbers. But I have to look at who they have played also.
@Tampa Bay Won 27-0
enough said we all know thier problems all to well.
Oakland Won 28-6
one win and that was last week
@Cleveland Won 15-14
we know this team also
San Diego Won 16-13
San Diego blew this one. They lost faith in Rivers in the second half and played "Marty Ball". Though the last drive shows what McNair can do.
@Denver Lost 3-13
Heck Denver has not scored over 20 pts. yet. this was a good defense match up. So-So offenses led to the slaughter
Carolina Lost 21-23
This was a funny game. If not for a few hot potatoes they loss 7-23. throw that out. Steve was out by the second. Carolina was up 13-7 at the half.
My point is simple 21 to 28 points can be scored on them by us as long as we are playing saints ball. Run enough to keep the Defense honest with a big runs thrown in and we have done our job. That will allow Drew to us his short to mid range passing game to set up the 2 or 3 long strike attempt like he did in the Eagles Game. The Ravens are going hit us. Glad the Eagles came to town to warm us up for the hitting.
Prediction
120 yards rushing 1 TD and 1 fumble
220 passing 1 TD 25/35 and 1 int.
Karney kicks 4 FG
Saints 26 Ravens 17
Key is limting the turnovers. no more than 3. Offensively I look for Henderson to be the wild card for the game. As well as the TEs.
