Tonight's Monday Night Football match up against the New England Patriots has been marked on my schedule since the game dates were release earlier in the year. Many critics believe that this game doesn't really mean anything anymore, since the Ravens are 4-7, and are everything but technically eliminated from the playoff picture.
Too me tonight's game is more than just a regular season AFC conference game. Tonight is the Raven's Superbowl. Tonight is the night to shine on Monday Night Football in front of millions on the national stage. The Ravens are David against the Goliath Patriots.
The Ravens are a 20 point underdog at home, which is the highest point spread for any home team in NFL history. We aren't getting any respect, which is so rightfully undeserved. We are horrible on primetime games and have a anemic record against the patriots. But things can only go wrong for so long, and the way the football season has gone this year, anything could happen. If Chris McAlister plays, we will have 10 of 11 defensive starters playing with Trevor Pryce on IR.
O yea, I woke up this morning and its pretty cold and windy. It is reported to be 31 degrees with 50 mph winds tonight. That makes Tom Brady just about as good as Kyle Boller. Sorry Kyle.
