Between work and family,  I have not practiced all week and was a game time decision whether I would get this weeks blog out.  I am happy to say we may not be 100% but the View From 151 is on the active list and will play in today’s game.

All that needs to be said about last weeks game against the Saints is ” Wide Right”.

We are on the road in Charlotte playing against Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers.  No more number one defense against number one offense this week it’s the number one defense against the number eighteen offense.  Yes, even after playing the Saints last week we are still the best defense in the league.  CB Marlon Humphreys is not playing today which means Jimmy Smith needs to play better than he did last week against our old friend Torrey Smith.  The Ravens O-line is banged up and could have Hurst and Lewis out for today replaced by Orlando Brown Jr and either one of three other Ravens Bozeman (listed as questionable), Eluemunor (just brought up from the practice squad), or Grasu (has not started a game for the Ravens before).    So we have a plug and play offensive line this week but the way Joe and the offense have been playing with the passing game leading the way Carolina’s defense will need to focus on stopping the pass rather than rushing after Joe.   Look for Joe to have a good day.  We almost beat the number one offense we definitely can beat the eighteenth ranked Panther offense.

 

GO RAVENS!!!

Remember, don’t bet your trick or treat candy money on my picks it’s probably to late anyway.  Although the Lock of the week is Texans over Dolphins.

Thursday 8:15

Texan 42 Dolphins 23

Sunday

9:30 AM
Eagles over Jaguars
NFC over AFC and we are rooting for the Eagles this year.

1:00
Set up three TVs today (sorry for the short notice, but I know you can do it) RAVENS, Steelers, Browns , and Bengals all play at 1:00 today.

RAVENS over Panthers
Another team that likes to run the ball playing against our defense who has not let any team beat us on the ground.  Cam Newton will be running for his life today.  Justin Tucker will be starting a new streak today and you can say you were there when the streak started.  The Ravens win today!

GO RAVENS!!!

Browns over Steelers
I can’t believe the Steelers are in first place and they didn’t even play last week!  No tie today the Browns win outright.

Buccaneers over Bengals
We are in third place behind the Bengals and the Steelers.  This just shows you how important every game is. If we won last week and we would be in first place not third.

Broncos over Chiefs
The Chiefs have the worst defense in the league but are 6-1.

Redskins over Giants
The Redskins are in first place after beating the Cowboys in DC last week and I must say I received a lot of orders last week.

Lions over Seahawks
Both NFC teams, rooting for the home team.

Bears over Jets
NFC over AFC.

4:00

Raiders over Colts
Both teams are bad but we are rooting for the home team Raiders.

49ers vs Cardinals you pick’em
Both teams are 1-6 doen’t even waste your time watching this game.

Packers over Rams
The Rams are 7-0 the only undefeated team but the Packers need a win to keep pace with the Vikings who are in first place of the NFC North.  This is the 4:00 game to watch.

9:00

Saints over Vikings
A Vikings loss is what the Packers need.

Monday 9:00

Bills over Patriots
I am just saying stranger things have happened.

The Steelers play in Pittsburgh today.  Just keep the ones you love a little closer today while you enjoy the games.

BYE: Falcons, Cowboys, Chargers, Titans

GO RAVENS!!!

And that’s just The View From 151.
