Joe Flacco
Joe Flacco Sunday the Baltimore Ravens and the New York Giants square-off in Giants Stadium in what should prove to be a great match. Odds makers are calling the Giants a home favorite against a tough Ravens team. NFL betting lines have New York at -7 with the total sitting at 40.5.

Both the Giants and the Ravens come into this week with four game winning streaks on the line. Baltimore has won three of those games on the road and have yielded an NFL-low 65.4 rushing yards per game.

"One thing you can't take away from them is that they're trying to do a great job with their offense and really letting all the backs really establish their mentality," Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis said. "We've got to stop the run, and that's the bottom line. We're the best team in football doing that, so if there is a test, the test is just to go and uphold what you are already built to do."

The Ravens have not
just been doing it on defense this year, Lewis actually has some help on the other side of the ball in 2008. Rookie quarterback Joe Flacco and the Ravens offense has shown more ability to score this season. Flacco has thrown for more than 1,600 yard and seven touchdowns.

"He doesn't get flustered," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "Momentum swings don't affect him too much. He comes out and plays the next series and takes care of business. That's the kind of person he is. He played well when he had to."

Look for the Ravens defense to bring plenty of pressure to Giants quarterback Eli Manning as they try to disrupt is rhythm. He had perhaps the worst game of his career against the Ravens on Dec. 12, 2004, when he went just 4-of-18 for a career-low 27 yards with two interceptions in a 37-14 loss as a rookie.

If the Raven can get to Manning consistently, this may be a repeat performance. Take the Ravens getting 7 points in the upset of the week.
