Ravens Are Near Unanimous Choice to Defeat Patriots
The New England Patriots find themselves in an unfamiliar position heading into Sunday night's game against the Ravens: seven-point underdogs at home. That hasn't happened since 2001, Tom Brady's first season as a starter.
Entering this year with 20 straight winning seasons and 16 AFC East titles in 17 seasons, the Brady-less Patriots sit in third place in the division at 3-5. Since 2003, the most games New England lost in a season was six (2005, 2009).
The pundits are near unanimous in their belief that the Ravens will hand the Patriots their sixth loss in Week 10.
