Loosen up your remote thumb, because the NFL flies into regular season action with a boom. When the Denver Broncos host the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, the season will be underway, but it isn't until Sunday when we will get the full experience.
Sunday offers a full day of NFL goodness. I'm excited just typing about it all. Take a look at the schedule for yourself:. Three games on that schedule really jump out at me.
As a matter of fact, it is these three:. Baltimore Ravens at Denver Broncos. The Baltimore Ravens have been rewarded by the schedule-makers for their Super Bowl triumph with a trip to the high altitude of Denver to take on a team many feel is the most talented in football. The NFL is a hard-knock life.
Not that Baltimore is going to be intimidated by the setting. While the Ravens suffered from the annual raiding of their roster that comes with being Super Bowl champs, this team isn't going to be an easy matchup for anyone.
Baltimore did a fantastic job of handling roster turnover. For instance, the Ravens added pass-rusher Elvis Dumervil, who became available in free agency only after the fax-machine duties for Dumervil's re-signing were handled like Moore on his deep coverage in that playoff game. Prior to that, he had not been sacked more than three times in a game this season.
The Patriots are 17th in sacked percentage, and quarterback Tom Brady has had a difficult time stepping up in the pocket to help avoid the rush while making a solid throw. That said, this is a chance for the Patriots to prove themselves in the passing game.
Tom Brady's play has suffered with the lack of protection and the lack of weapons in the passing game. Not counting his rookie season when he threw just three passes, his current quarterback rating of However, this passing game exploded to life in the Patriots' last game.
Brady threw for yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions while the Patriots downed the Pittsburgh Steelers Three receivers caught at least yards worth of passes and a touchdown. Tight end Rob Gronkowski led the way with nine catches for yards. Coming off of a bye week, the Patriots should be prepared to try to keep that momentum rolling. If they can manage to put up some quick points with the passing game and build a decent lead, the Panthers will have a hard time coming back.
Carolina is 28th in passing and 10th in rushing on offense. They also have run the third-highest percentage of rushing plays. If Carolina can limit the Patriots offense, that running game will be enough to lead the Panthers to victory. The Patriots are 30th in rush defense and 22nd in yards allowed per rush.
