The New England Patriots face their toughest opponent yet on Sunday Night Football this week: the Baltimore Ravens. While the Patriots (8-0) are currently a three-point road favorite, no one is looking past the AFC North-leading Ravens (5-2) and their chances of handing the defending champs their first loss.
New England is 10-3 against Baltimore in the regular season – including an impressive 3-1 mark on the road – but the Pats are also just 2-2 in the playoffs against John Harbaugh and company. Perhaps because these matchups are usually hotly-contested and have often gone down to the wire, the Ravens rightfully register as one of the Patriots’ more dangerous rivals in the AFC this season.
