Today, the Divisional round of the 2015 NFL playoffs kicks off at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts as the Baltimore Ravens face the New England Patriots.

This should be a great matchup as both teams are very familiar with each other and have a championship pedigree. Look for the Ravens to stick to their smash mouth with their defense but I believe the Ravens passing game will be key for a big time victory. I expect Ravens QB Joe Flacco to pass for over 275 yards with 3 touchdown passes. The Ravens will rush the ball for a combined 160 yards.

Tom Brady and his Patriots team will be prepared for this tough matchup and I believe that this is where having LeGarrett Blount will play big. Look for the Patriots to run the ball well against the Ravens and to mix in the play action play to get big plays down field. Brady will pass for over 250 yards with 2 touchdown passes. Despite a great game from the Patriots, I see the Ravens advancing
