A great way to start the season, with a shut-out win on the road! 

I apologize for the tardiness of this post.  I just could not bring myself to move past the jubilation of last week’s win to this week’s Oh-my-gosh-it’s-week-two and we have a history of winning big week one and laying an egg on week two.

No surprises on the Ravens game play last week but what surprised me was how bad the Bengals are.  Did the Bengals really look bad, or did the Ravens make them look bad?  I will take the latter.  Starting with the offense, yes, they looked rusty but they controlled the line of scrimmage allowing us to run the ball 9 straight times and the Bengals couldn’t do anything about it.   Joe was Joe, some people say he looked slow but I say Joe always looks that way.  Just slow and steady, get the job done, unemotional Joe.  On the other hand the defense was full of emotion and just smothered the Bengals.  The defense gave up yards but when the Bengals made mistakes we were there to snatch the intersection and grab the fumble.  Seeing the defense swarm around the ball is great to have back.

The Browns have a rookie starting quarterback. Do you think he got much sleep last night with the thought of the Ravens defense chasing him all day?  No week two let down today Ravens win in good old fashion Baltimore football still.

Enjoy the games.

GO RAVENS!!!

Disclaimer: Remember–this is who we want to win, not who is expected to win. GO RAVENS!

Thursday
8:25pm

Texans over Bengals
The Bengals are worse than we thought, losing Thursday night to the lousy Texans 13-9.

Sunday
1:00pm
RAVENS over Browns
The Browns only rushed for 57 yards last week putting all the pressure on their rookie quarterback Deshone Kizer.  Terrell Suggs and the Ravens defense can’t wait to go after the rookie. We had 4 interceptions last week-well, you can double it this week.  The Browns are DOA coming into Baltimore against our ferocious front line.  Joe and the Offense have another game to shake more rust off and let the defense carry the load.
GO RAVENS!!!

Buccaneers over Bears
The Bucs start the season a week late thanks to Irma, but it might as while still be preseason since they are playing the 0-1 Bears.   The Tampa fans will have plenty to cheer about in their home opener.

Vikings over Steelers
You do know the Vikings are my favorite team second only to the Ravens.  Well, maybe just this week against the Steelers.

Saints over Patriots
Isn’t life great!  Dreams do come true, the Patriots are 0-1

Eagle over Chiefs
Last week the Chiefs were our best friends, but this week not so much.  Rooting for the Eagles so Molly can get free coffee at Dunkin Donuts tomorrow if the Eagle win.

Titans over Jaguars 
Keep an eye on this game.  We play the Jags next week in London.  The Jags defense was surprisingly good last week against the Texans.  So scout them today to see if they are for real.

Cardinals over Colts
Both teams lost last week but the Colts looked really bad without Andrew Luck.  Plus it is a NFC over AFC game.

Panthers over Bills
Cam Newton can take care of the Bills

 

4:05pm
Dolphins over Chargers
This is almost a pick’em game, but Miami was the other team washed out by Irma and need something to cheer about

Jets over Raiders
Man,the Jets look bad and have no chance today but we are rooting for the 0-1 Jets over the 1-0 Raiders. Remember, don’t bet on my picks.

4:25pm
Seahawks over 49ers
Rooting for the home team and our Seahawk friends.

Redskins over Rams
Washington lost last week and sales dropped.  So I need to increase sales with a Redskin win.

Cowboys over Broncos
This will be the game to watch after the Ravens beat the Browns.

8:30pm

Packers over Falcons
Sadly Atlanta got hit by Irma last week, but that’s not enough to make me root for Matt Ryan. Go Pack Go!

Monday
8:30pm

Lions at Giants
You Pick’em, this game won’t be worth staying up for, so get some sleep and see the score Tuesday morning.

Enjoy the games with a cold drink and someone you love.

And that’s just the view from 151.

GO RAVENS!!!

NEXT WEEK-LONDON!
