The Ravens’ season is done. Flacco is playing like a mid-round rookie and the defense doesn’t have the personnel to bail them out.
It appears the “getting to know each other” phase isn’t proceeding so well between the key offensive players and new O-coordinator Marc Trestman. It’s not going to all of sudden click on the road facing this Arizona defense.
Bombs away – Carson Palmer should get after a baaaaaad Baltimore secondary.

The Cardinals are a good team. They tripped up last week, losing to Pittsburgh, but their balanced package is a real handful for any opponent. A passing game that creates matchup issues for 80% of the secondaries in the league (most certainly including these Ravens) and one of the best defenses in either conference.
Ravens vs. Cardinals Pick
I’m not one to lay over a TD, but in breaking this game down, it keeps coming down to a convincing win for the Cardinals. They’re off a loss, at home, facing an awful pass defense and an offense that can’t get out of their own way.
I’ll put a half unit on the home side to win by double digits.
Good luck and enjoy the game.
