Ray Lewis

o teams play each other enough teams each year to know EXACTLY what to expect.  I can even see Ray Lewis (or Co.) knocking Ben Roethlisburger around early, quieting the crowd, and then get

           On Saturday night, the Cowboys had a golden opportunity to close out Texas Stadium in style.  This was the final game to be played at the stadium.  A Cowboys win would have been a fitting end to a stadium that has had many classic games.  A win, and the Cowboys would have been one step further in their quest for a playoff berth, and a Super Bowl run.

           Each week, on Friday, I will look into my (never wrong, just misinformed) crystal ball and give my predictions for that weekend’s games.  I will always prognosticate on the Eagles and Cowboys games and then pick two or more games of interest (to me, that is, not necessarily to you).  Keep in mind, that this is for entertainment purposes only, and that I do not endorse any sort of legal or illegal gambling.  That being said…let’s see what’s in my crystal ball!

h, and touting the #2 overall defense in the NFL.  It is lead by their own veteran linebacker, Ray Lewis, and stand-out safety Ed Reed, who pose a constant threat to any offense let alone a struggling one.  If Washington is to beat Baltimore, it's going to have to be the Redskins' defense who will once again have to rise to the occasion and do more than just their part.  They will have to set the tone for the game, and inspire the offense to follow their lead.  The Ravens' offense is extremely impressive this year, so this will be no easy task.  Rookie QB Joe Flacco is playing like anything but, and their run game is as stout as any in the league.  Still there is no denying that Flacco, as impressive as he's been, is still a rookie, and he'll be facing an extremely talented secondary rotation in Carlos Rodgers, Laron Landry, Shawn Springs, Fred Smoot, and D'Angelo Hall who will all be playing with something to prove after being humbled by Giants QB Eli Manning last week.  This should allow the front 7 of Washington, lead by middle linebacker London Fletcher, to focus heavily on the mutli-talented run game of the Ravens' in the hopes of forcing Flacco to throw into what should be a hungry Washington secondary.  If the offense can just hold their own against a relentless Baltimore defense, Washington may be able to continue their quest for the playoffs.

ill get you no matter what!” He is large, he is intense, he is awesome, he is football, he is Ray Lewis.

The ultimate All-Star linebacker of the Baltimore Ravens, Ray Lewis is all things awesome about professional football.

Lewis led the conference with 152 tackles, nine tackles for a loss, two sacks, and an interception.Lewis was once again named to All American and Big East honors in his junior year. He lead the Big East in tackles, was the runner up for the Butkis Award, and set the record for the second most tackles in Hurricane history with 160 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 interceptions, four blocked passes and a touchdown.
