Who's everybody taking tonight? I fancy an away double. Can see the Pack knocking off the Falcons and Baltimore winning in Pittsburgh. Be two very close games regardless.
Ravens and us.
I really like Baltimore and have all year. They have terrific balance on offence, a great D and arguably
the best RB in the league.
I'm 50/50 on our game tonight. The running game is key. If we can get a sembelance of a running game (above about 75 yards for the game) then we can open up the play-action and i'm 100% confident A-Rod could torch them and we'd win (the last game we had zero running, we fumbled inside the 1 and gave up 2 penalties to put them in FG position). That said we also need to stop Turner, otherwise like the last game Ryan will have easy passes all game while we need to get him running in the pocket and throwing it. If he has to throw it alot then I fancy our back four could pick him off and handle White.
We just need to ignore the Georgia dome factor (which is a bit of a myth anyway) and start with a simple opening drive. I think it was last week that it was said the Saints script the first 20 plays and know exactly what they are doing. I think we should adopt that. On the first drive we need simple runs from our wishbone formation and slants.
