That won't happen again. The Pats are really out to prove something this postseason.

Patriots by 9................

i have felt since before the playoffs started that if these 2 teams met in the afccg that the ravens would win but based upon how both teams looked this weekend, it's hard for me to stick with that pick.

the patriots defense almost looked like they 'flipped a switch' for the playoffs, similar to how the 2006 colts team did in the playoffs. After playing terribly in the regular season, they just turned it on for the playoffs.

IF the Pats defense has been saving it up for the playoffs and can continue to play like they did last night, I'm having a hard time envisioning anyone beating them. That's a big if though .......

The Pats defense is healthy for pretty much the first time all year. Chung was out for big chunk of the season and he's the best player in the secondary.

Having said that, I don't want to look too far into yesterdays performance. The Broncos were forced to drop back and throw the entire game because they were so far behind, and they're not built to pass protect like that. But if the Patriots can jump out to an early lead again I see it going a lot like yesterday.

The Pats aren't going to leave points on the field. Brady isn't a third string QB.

Pats are going to win this one 27-17

I have been going back and forth in my head on this game since the playoffs started. I knew it would probably come down to these two teams and its hard to pick. I feel like the Ravens are too inconsistent so I picked the Patriots but I don't know.

Anyways my best guess Patriots 34 to 26
