Monday Night Football

Baltimore Ravens @ Green Bay Packers

The 6 – 5 Ravens travel to Green Bay to take on the 7 – 4 Packers in this huge game on Monday Night Football. Both these teams are in and around the Wildcard spots in their respective conferences, and a win here, is vital for both. An interesting matchup here is between Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers, and the Baltimore defence. This defence has for years scared opponents to death, but has been down this year. Rodgers is undoubtedly one of the best QB’s in the league when he is protected properly. Green Bay struggled with this for much of the season, but over the last couple of weeks, they seem to of solved the problem. If this Baltimore defence cannot get pressure on Rodgers, look for him to slice and dice the secondary. The Ravens best offence option this year has been RB Ray Rice. Weather it is through the air, or on the ground, Rice has been very effective. It will be interesting to see how the Packers 3 – 4 defence decides to try and keep him quite. I believe that the Packers defence this year is actually better than the Ravens. Couple this with the fact that they can defiantly score quicker than the Ravens, and they are at home, I expect the Packers to win this one.

Lee’s Prediction: Ravens 14 Packers 24
