NFL Prediction

Tommrow officially starts the beginning of the NFL season, with the first regular season game being played between the BALTIMORE RAVENS vs DENVER BRONCOS. The broncos are coming into this game ready to get revenge against the Ravens, after losing the division round game of the playoffs to the ravens. The Broncos are coming into this game off of a 11 game winning streak, after it was broken last season when they lost to the Ravens. Key players in this match-up are Baltimore Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones, who played a big role in the last game the team played in the playoffs. Broncos safety Rahim Moore lost sight of the Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones last time the teams played and Ravens Quarterback Joe Flacco connected with Jones to get a 70 yard touch down. Moore had comments on this years matchup against the Ravens this season. "But the good thing about it is it's a whole new year. Nobody remembers what you did last year." Based on the out come of the last game, the Broncos are going to come out more powerful. This offseason the Broncos have added some very important offensive weapons to there line up such as receiver Wes Welker. The Broncos will come out very strong and ready to get revenge. The Ravens have had there troubles this season with there defense . Ray Lewis retired after the super bowl last year and Ed Reed signed with the Texans this offseason, so there will be a lot of new faces for the Baltimore franchise. I believe the Broncos will take it 32:14, because of the high powered Broncos offense . I also believe that even though the ravens have new faces on there defense Peyton Manning might be to much for them.
