Baltimore Ravens at Oakland Raiders Preview and Pick
The Baltimore Ravens fell just short of knocking off the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2nd time this season last week in a 23-20 loss. The Ravens actually rallied back from a 10 point deficit in the 2nd half to nearly score the big win. The loss kept the Ravens from locking up a playoff berth and they face a must win situation this week when they travel to take on the 5-10 Oakland Raiders. The Ravens unlike much of the other teams in the wildcard race control their destiny. A win over the Raiders will guarantee a spot in the playoffs. However, Oakland with just 5 wins has scored a number of upsets this year. The Raiders knocked off the Eagles, Steelers, and Broncos in surprising fashion. If the Raiders could put together another big upset, it will open the door for a host of AFC wildcard teams needing a lot of help to get into the postseason.
