Super Bowl Win

Yes I know every NFL fan has this on their wish list and I certainly do too.

If the Ravens are able to make the playoffs I think they legitimately have a shot to make a Super Bowl run.

A wild-card home win would most likely set them up with a rematch with the New England Patriots or the Oakland Raiders in the divisional round. Both games against these teams were close and if the Ravens were to play a complete on the defensive and offensive side then they could absolutely win. I think whoever comes out of the AFC North poses the best threat to knock off the Patriots. The Raiders have shown their inability to win in the cold and they would have a tough time at Foxborough in January.
