The game of the week features two Playoff hopeful teams in need of a win to keep up in their divisions and the Wild Card race. The Ravens and Lions will go at it tonight at Ford Field in Detroit. There has been some pre-game chatter between the two teams. Most notably came from Baltimore CB Matt Elam. He has the daunting task of covering WR Calvin Johnson. This is a motivated Johnson after Elam called him "old." Johnson, 28, is the best WR in the league, so Elam should have a rough night. Both these teams need these wins after the Bears won and the Dolphins beat the Patriots. The Lions are 1/2 a game behind the Bears and the Ravens are 1/2 a game behind the Dolphins. Both of these teams have had 10 days to prepare for this game because they both won on Thanksgiving Day. This has the makings for an exciting game, and I think The explosive Detroit offense prevails in the end.
My Pick: Lions 34 Ravens 20
My Season Record: 8-6
