Ravens: Next team up

The Ravens weren't going to get ahead of themselves and reveal which team they want to play next week, but you can bet it isn't the New England Patriots in Foxborough. The Dolphins just took a seven-point lead over the Jets at the Meadowlands, and you can bet just about everyone in Baltimore would rather head south than north for the first round of the playoffs.

For one thing, the Ravens have already beaten the Dolphins on the road. For another, nobody wants to face a Bill Belichick team in the postseason, even one that's without star quarterback Tom Brady. The Pats are playing very well right now. Got to think everybody in the AFC would just as soon they don't get to play anymore this year.

Pete--do you know when the playoff schedule is announced? I can't seem to find anything about that anywhere yet.

Pete's reply: Could be any time now, or after the SD/Denver game. Waiting at the stadium for it.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
