Ravens: Good Sunday
The Ravens don't play until tomorrow night, of course, but Sunday has been a pretty good day for them so far -- at least from the standpoint of projecting wild card possibilities. The Broncos have now lost three in a row and are beginning to look like they might be a nine-win team with the Ravens holding the head-to-head tiebreaker against both them and the San Diego Chargers. The Jets also lost today, dropping to 4-5 and making their road to the postseason a lot longer.
The Houston Texans had a bye today, but they may be the team that ends up standing in the way of a Ravens playoff berth. They're 5-4 and they appear to have the easiest remaining schedule of any of the potential AFC wild card contenders.
The Bengals' victory over the Steelers also helped, since it gives the Ravens a little bit more control over their chance of finishing second in the AFC North. Long way to go, of course, but at least the other dominoes are falling in the right direction.

The Ravens can win every game they have left on the schedule this year. Unless that team from last week show up in their uniforms again.

Pete--Any word on when Bill Belichick will open his Jai Lai facility Belly Up?
Between watching the Eagles-Chargers game where any Eagle player who went out of bounds was rewarded with an official whirling his arm to indicate the clock should continue to run and this Belichick fiasco, I am reminded of the Baltimore-Cincinnati game a couple seasons ago that ended with Todd Heap being grabbed in the end zone on what should have been the game winning play, but was instead called pass interference on Heap.
Pete, remind me. Is there wagering on NFL games?
