Patriots vs Ravens

I think that this game with be a matter of whether the Patriots can stop the strong rush game with Willis McGahee and Ray Rice. The reason I think it is important to stop there run game is because they have 337 rushing yards in 4 games. However they have allowed 467 yards in 4 games and have allowed 3 TD but I don't think that the Patriots run game is good enough to beat the Ravens D. The Ravens also have a pretty strong passing game lead by Boldin with 355 yards and their TE Todd Heap is extrodinary as well with 188 yards. The Ravens have 914 passing yards, so look for them to pound the young secondary of the Patriots again and again. However if Chung and linebackers can step up it could be close. Even with the okay quaterback Joe Flacco the goal of the Ravens is to pick apart the defense of the Patriots if they can they easily win. However their defense could be considered week in the secondary because of the lose of Ed Reed who lead the team in interceptions. The Ravens only have 1 INT and Tom Brady being on of the best quateracks might be able to pick them apart. The key thing is the last time these two teams meet was in the playoffs the Patriots got destroyed because of the amazing defense of the Ravens. The score that I pick for this game is 24-17 Ravens.
