Last night, I posted the released regular season schedule of the Baltimore Ravens. Now that I have some time, I’ll break it down as I see it.
The biggest game of the year is Week 1 against arch-rival and division rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Unless Ben Roethlisberger gets in trouble this offseason, which I see as unlikely because of his upcoming marriage, quarterback Joe Flacco will have a chance to exorcise his demons. If the Ravens can get past the Steelers unscathed, there’s a good chance they start 3-0.
After Week 3 against the Rams, the Ravens come home to face the Jets. The Jets will be a tough, physical game, but the Ravens have a bye the next week and were able to beat the Jets to open the 2010 season.
There will be a stumble here and there, but depending on how free agency and the draft shake out, the Ravens appear to be a strong team.
One of the highlights, in my mind, is the team is on in prime time five times, including the Ravens’ first ever Thanksgiving game.
I’m looking forward to the season and getting those Pittsburgh games out of the way before playing the rest of the division. As always, the NFL season should be fun.
