PrintIn today's game between the Baltimore Ravens at the San Diego Chargers, the local and national media have made their picks. While you can give a pass to the clueless national guys who have no idea about our Ravens and only read the general information about the teams, the local guys have full access, yet seem to be as clueless as some of the national guys.
Here is a list of the local and national guys who are picking the Chargers to beat the Ravens today:
Local: Mark Viviano, Jamison Hensley, Edward Lee
National: Mike Golic, Merrill Hoge, Adam Schefter, Keyshawn Johnson, Cris Carter, Madden 10, Accuscore (ESPN)
Remember these guys and if you get the chance to slam them after the Ravens win, go find them and let them know how clueless they are about our Ravens!

You forgot Micheal Irvin on NFL network........ Who's laughing now?!!!!!
If alcohol didn't exist the Irish would conquer the world.
Viviano, Hensley and Lee
will now all come up with excuses why they didn’t pick the Ravens and try to bad mouth them on the problems we had even while winning. Watch, they are among the worst and such a clique at Training Camp for no apparent reason. All, except Viviano, who is a good guy and talks to anyone.

Hope they all go on welfare
Only things the sun paper is good for is eating crabs on and for your puppy to piss and dump on.
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
Why would you want them on Welfare...
then YOU’LL be paying for them.
Jioe Flaacco, Hon!!! "He’s like a live JUGS machine."
Worst of all
Hensley picked us to get rolled 24-10. He should be fired for not knowing the team well.
The sad part is that because of the performance of our secondary yesterday, those sun queers are going to pick us to lose more often against pass heavy teams. Even when we win next week and if NE loses, 3/4 of those idiots will pick us to lose 28-13 and still believe that this offense is living in the Billick era.
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
Not neccesarily
We now have the ability to win shootouts, like we did yesterday. The writers better adjust accordingly.
It reminds me of the scene in Happy Gilmore, where Happy is playing Shooter McGavin in the tour championship. He had been practicing putting at the mini golf place with Chubbs since up to that point he was a one dimensional golfer, with monster drives, and an awful short game. He shockingly drills a long putt and turns to Shooter…,“Uh Oh, Happy learned to putt.”
I feel like Harbaugh should say…,“Uh, Oh, The Ravens learned to pass,” to the rest of the league.
The NFL is officially on notice. These aren’t Brian Billick’s Ravens.
I agree
And I think the Sun writers are still in the Billick era. But you know from now on that each one of their stories is going to have a great deal dedicated to being scared of passing teams like NE, Indy, and the rest. Guarantee these same guys pick us to lose to NE if they are 1-2 and we are 3-0 and will pick us to lose to Indy at home.
Me and your bro were actually quoting Happy Gilmore all day during the game yesterday. “Hey Shooter, wanna go to Sizzler?!? My treat!”
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
Watch The Sun's predictions all season
Lose to Indy, NE, Pittsburgh, GB, Minnesota, beat all the others. Wow, such talent there!

You know whats said though
The Steelers, Pats and Eagles are most likely all going to be ranked above us in the ESPN Power Rankings. They all sit at 1-1. I think we will move from 10 to 8 at the most. With at least 3 teams at 1-1 ahead of us.
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
Wrong
We are #1 in ESPN. Not sure why you thought we’d be 8, I was sure we’d be top 3. Like I said before the Chargers game… a win and the national media will be all over the Ravens bandwagon.
WOWWWWWWW!
This is a first! Thanks for making my day!
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
Surprise!
Even I didn’t put us at #1. Now I’m looking like the negative guy! I only had us 4th, behind the Saints, Vikes and Giants, but #1 in the AFC.

I had us at 7th. And its not because I think we are 7th, I just thought the media will always put the Pats and Steelers above us, especially after we gave up so many yards to the Chargers. I was not expecting the media to jump on the OFFENSIVE bandwagon this quickly.
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
I thought this because of last week and last year, how they ranked us. Last year, we had winning records at times and teams with .500 records or worse were still ranked ahead of us. Last week, we were 1-0 and the Titans at 0-1 were ranked ahead of us. My statement was based on the media hate of the Ravens.

Surprised at Steelers ranking
they barely beat the 0-2 Titans then lost to a relaively weak Bears team, but still get to ride the coattails of LAST year’s SB title? Also, tough not to put the saints on top, as they obliterated the Eagles in Philly! The Giants won two division games, one in Dallas and should be up there. I think, honestly and objectively, that both the Saints and the Giants should be above us for now, and the Vikings just below us. I might keep the Steelrs in the top ten, but not ahead of the Falcons or the Jets or the Colts.
