Baltimore Ravens @ Indianapolis ColtsPeyton Manning will need to stay at the top of his MVP season to secure a win against the Ravens this week. Ray Lewis and the daunting Ravens defense were outrageous last week and I would expect them to be just as good this week. Joe Flaaco was far from special, but with Ray Rice carrying the offense, there was no need for anything else. I think this game will come down to experience though, and that is where I think the Colts will shine. It will be a close, hard fought battle. However, in the end, The Colts will take away the win 30-26.
Arizona Cardinals @ New Orleans Saints
The Cardinals put up a ridiculous amount of points last week against the Packers. Unfortunately, the Packers nearly put up the same amount of points. If it wasn't for a last second fumble return for a touchdown, the Cardinals may have had one of the biggest meltdowns in recent playoff memory. The thing is, the Saints defense will play better than the Packers defense did last week. However, Kurt Warner might play just as well. This whole game will come down to the quarterbacks then. I think Warner is too hot to handle and the Saints have just been skidding too much last time we saw them. So here it is, a huge upset, and I am calling it. Cards steal it 42-35
