The Ravens are a huge disappointment; I don't recall reading about any injuries they might have, so they are really this bad. The Falcons and Texans at least have good excuses for why their season went down the shutter.

The Ravens lost 8 starters from last year's Super Bowl winning team.  It is tough to reload when you lose that much talent.

They have 5 home games and only 3 road games left, so maybe they can turn it around.  Probably not though, they look pretty awful.

That's in large part a self-inflicted wound though. Age cost them a few of those starters, but giving Flacco that obscene contract cost them most of their lost talent. I, for one, have no sympathy.

Oh, yes.  They traded away Anquan Boldin, and lost four others becasue they didn't have the cap space.  Birk and Lewis were both lost to retirement. And Ed Reed was let go because he is so old.

I was just saying that is why they suck this year.

This week looks easy on paper, but I have the feeling I'm going to get my butt kicked by the rest of you guys.

Edit: Changed my DET-CHI pick to have the Bears win.
