Ravens-Falcons Thursday Night Pick

So begins Thursday Night Football, and they actually picked a good game! Thursday Night football is always good, though, because it spreads out the total amount of football you watch over one week. Instead of it being crammed into a Sunday, and maybe not seeing it, you get to watch one more game per week (unless you are blessed with the RedZone). Also, it screws up fantasy matchups. You can have a big Thursday Night and feel oh so excited for your week, or get hosed on Thursday and suddenly your team isn't looking so hot. But anyways, on to the game.

Baltimore at Atlanta (-1)

I can see why Atlanta's favored, seeing how good they usually play at the Georgia Dome. The overall quality of the AFC compared to the NFC, though, sways me to take the Ravens to cover and win. Baltimore's got a stingy defense and plenty of weapons on offense, and I don't think Atlanta can say they have an advantage on either side of the ball. I think it will still be close, but the Ravens cement their status as one of the NFL's best with a road win.

Also, happy Veterans Day. THERE AIN'T NO DOUBT, I LOVE THIS LAND...GOD BLESS THE USAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
