With Wildcard Weekend behind us, it is time to take a look at the Divisional Round matchups.

(1)Denver Broncos vs. (4)Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens used a spirited effort in Ray Lewis’ final home game to easily handle the Indianapolis Colts last weekend. This weekend they run into the top seeded 13-3 Denver Broncos.

I expect another spirited effort from the ravens this week in what should be a very physical game. I like for the Ravens to feature Ray Rice a little more than they did last week in order to open up the passing attack for Joe Flacco. On the other side, I expect to see Peyton Manning throwing early and often. Manning, MVP front-runner should have a big day. Not to be overshadowed is Denver’ defense, they are an underrated bunch but can ball!

In the end I think the Broncos will be too much for the Ravens and should win this one at home.
