Once again, the league still finds ways to pursue their anti-Baltimore vendetta.

QuoteComing off their bye, the Ravens face the Denver Broncos, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns.

But there's another familiar opponent: the NFL schedule makers.

The Ravens (3-3) must deal with the disadvantage of playing three teams coming off their own bye over the next three weeks, a scheduling quirk not shared by any other AFC North team. They face the unbeaten Broncos at home after Denver's bye and then travel to the Bengals (5-2) and the Browns (1-6) after each has received an extra week of rest.

Are you afraid of the Bengals and Browns?

Didn't the ratbirds have a bye just now, too?

And Clevelend and Cinci can use the advantage. They may score a TD or two.

It's all about the Bensons, baby :punk:

This week I like Favre to cover and win on the road, Manning the Younger to win on the road.  That Chicago-Brownie spread looks awfully high for a team that just got destroyed by the Bungles, but then again maybe the Brownies really are as bad as everyone says.

Yi, the browns are AWFUL. A division III college team could compete with them.

Finally a week the Redskins cannot be embarrased.

Snyder will use the bye to attempt to ban Christmas or something.

The posters on the Texans message board I eyeball are telling each other they shouldn't look past the Bills, talking about how they shouldn't take the MNF game vs. Tennessee lightly, etc.  We're going to keep stopping the run.  We're going to defend passes better.  :mellow:

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
