just bought lindys annual preview!!

The ravens are a great team, but they won't be any stronger than last year, in my opinion. Their defense will probably miss A. Thomas and their offense really needs to put more points up. Obviously, they're a top 5 team, which very much puts them in the mix, but the competition is very, very stiff for them. I just don't see any real improvement from last year and it's always more attractive to pick a team that made some improvement than one that didn't. I'm not saying the Pats are destined to be the team, because in the post-season, it only takes one game to be knocked out of it. But Seeing as the Colts are still the Colts and the Chargers are still probably the most talented team, the Ravens would probably not be my pick.
