I think the Ravens match up well with the Pats. So I voted the Ravens.

Patriots. Only other consideration is Ravens but Brady is the difference maker.

New England will have a very tough time beating teams that can play defense, since they have no defense. I see the Steelers repeating is likely as they can handle the Pats and they aren't going to lose 3 times to the Ravens in a season.

The Patriots have the benefit of both experience and superior head coaching over any of the other clubs. The Ravens could give them some matchup problems, but ultimately Belicheck is going to find a way to beat whoever he faces.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

This. I picked the Ravens as my preseason favorite, but the Patriots are playing in such a groove it's hard to see them fail.

I wish I could say the Bengals, but maybe next year!

Tough choice here, I want to say Ravens with RR, but dont think Flacco is there right now.

Dont like NE so I will cast my vote for the Steelers.

Experience? The last time I checked it was the Steelers not the Patriots that made it to 3 of the last 6 Super Bowls. :wink: As for the superior head coaching I'll let someone else fight that battle but Belicheck is not the "guru" that some make him out to be IMO...
