Despite the Ravens strong defense and Flacco's ability to make the big play with the long passes, I still think the New England offense will win this game.
In particular, the Patriots running game will prevail over the Ravens defense. NFL.com article:
Offensively, I anticipate the Patriots will run the football. Counting the playoffs, the Baltimore defense has allowed 2,242 yards rushing this season. New England has scored the most rushing touchdowns this season. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels will exercise the running option without slowing the game down. No catching of breath, Ray Lewis.

When the Patriots run their no huddle offense, and pick up the pace of play calling, I think the Ravens defense will wear down.
I agree with the article writer about Ridley and Shane Vereen. These running backs are gonna be game changers on Sunday.
