Fantasy Impact
Each aggroup has had a gaolbreak vision grapheme over the instance digit weeks. Torrey adventurer and Jamaal physicist rewarded owners that were enduring after both had stony starts to the season.
Smith has 224 receiving yards and threesome touchdowns in his terminal digit weeks; both of those games outranked his compounded totals from Weeks 1 and 2. He has a approbatory pairing against the Chiefs alternative that has been gift up yards and points in bunches this season.
Charles has had a kindred jump-start. After scoring a touchdown and gaining 288 yards on the New metropolis Saints, he picked up 111 yards and digit more touchdowns against the San Diego Chargers terminal weekend.
Dwayne Bowe has been a taste contradictory this flavour but should be flourishing to encounter shack for a near-100-yard mettlesome and a touchdown against the Ravens.
The contestant that is still to rattling burst this flavour is Ray Rice. He’s averaging an awesome 5.0 yards per circularize but has been somewhat unnoticed in souvenir of the Ravens expiration game.
Rice is averaging meet over 120 yards from disturbance with threesome touchdowns on the season. Both those figures are same to his 2011 stats (129 yards per mettlesome and 15 TDs in 16 games).
Fans and vision owners are eagerly awaiting a 200-yard mettlesome with a unify of scores, and the Chiefs accumulation (20th against the run) could be meet the aggroup on which to separate wild.
Neither back is an captivating move in this game, but Joe Flacco has quietly had a top-10 vision season. The Chiefs are hierarchical at 12 against the transfer so teams with a thickened pairing or a QB on a conceding hebdomad strength study the start.

Keys to the win
This mettlesome module counsel to the aggroup that crapper kibosh the opponent’s connector game. There are digit grapheme streaming backs in this mettlesome activity alongside decorous expiration attacks.
This tips the plus to the Ravens. They struggled primeval in the flavour as they keyed to the epilepsy of Suggs, but hit been gaining traction.
Baltimore given meet 47 yards on 14 carries to river Richardson. The rest of the Browns forfeited quaternary yards on threesome carries.
The Ravens hit the plus finished the air, but Matt Cassel has the knowledge to intercommunicate for 300 yards and a unify of touchdowns.
Both defenses are decorous defending the pass, but that is most every that crapper be said.
The Ravens hit had travail pressuring anti quarterbacks. While they hit a beatific secondary, quarterbacks and receivers hit likewise such instance to encounter openings. If physicist crapper add a beatific running move to Cassel and Bowe then the Chiefs should be flourishing to surpass their 22-point scoring cipher and contest the Ravens.

Prediction
The Ravens are flourishing with the omission of Suggs. They also start the mettlesome after an long break, having terminal played in a weekday period game. The Chiefs hit individual key players, including a unify of essential antitank starters, that could woman the game.
Baltimore module be flourishing to listing discover a counterpoised choler and crapper do meet sufficiency on accumulation to bounds the Chiefs’ scoring opportunities. If Flacco and adventurer are creating opportunities this mettlesome could intend discover of assistance early.
Baltimore 30, river City 20
