If you don't think Tom Brady is on a mission to make a point against a Ravens team that made him look mortal two years ago in the playoffs, then you don't know Brady. In the past, the Patriots might have lacked some physical receivers. That isn't the case this year when you have tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez doing a lot of the dirty work. Baltimore's defense is still fierce, but their offense has really struggled on the road, almost being as bad as Cleveland's offense was the majority of the year. This would be a different contest if the Ravens were at home; on the road, I like the Patriots to win by a couple of possessions.
