AFC Wildcards game 2--Ravens vs Patriots

[HAVE_A_HEART]

The 2nd installment of The AFC Wildcards game will begin at 1 PM. It will be played at Gillete Stadium in Foxboro, MA. Today's teams are The Baltimore Ravens (9/7--2nd place AFC North) vs The New England Patriots (10/6--AFC East Divisional champs). Can the Birds hit the Patriots on their blindside? Or will The Brady bunch be leaving The Ravens singing 'The Brady Bunch' song when it is all said and done?

Hmmmm....Ravens or Patriots....?!!!!? Tough call. I don't like either team. Who will the winner of this game play next week?

[HAVE_A_HEART]

I think The Jets will be playing The Colts, and who ever wins this game will be playing The chargers next week!

[Ubu]

I'm with Thee. I think I'll pull for the Ravens. Either team that wins can lose their next game. Does that explain it?

[DannyO]

The winning team will be the one whose nuts freeze last. It's gonna be a cold one. I hope the football doesn't shatter during the kickoff.

If the Patriots win, I'm going to eat a huge plate of nachos in celebration. If they lose, I'll drink a bunch of beer to drown my sorrows.

Because both of these activities take a lot of time, I'm going to start both during the first quarter, so that I'll be prepared no matter how events unfold.

Let the games begin!! Is anybody here with me--or am I quite literally in a class all by myself?

[HAVE_A_HEART]

And just like that--Baltimore takes the first 7 points!

[HAVE_A_HEART]

14/zip Ravens!!! Looking like the Patriots are turning into bird dropping already!

[HAVE_A_HEART]

With less then 2 minutes in the game and baltimore leading 33/14--I am switching to the NFC preshow. I am sooooo glad the mighty brady and belicheat team didn't win!

[Ubu]

I claimed no favoritism but I deceived myself. I got much glee watching the Patriots lose that one.

[HAVE_A_HEART]

It kind of nice to see that Tom Brandy and Bill Belicheat don't really own the league--isn't it UBU?

[Ubu]

So true. They got one good debatable call for their first score.

After watching the Jets, I'm thinking they could pull another upset. I was impressed.
