The Broncos had a break the first week of the playoffs after obtaining the number one seed in the AFC. They will face the Ravens at Mile High for the Divisional round after the Ravens beat the Colts the previous week. The Ravens had a spirited performance last week on the back of their leader and franchise icon, Ray Lewis, declaring his retirement after the season. The home crowd was rocking and so were the Ravens, getting after Luck and securing the win.
They face a much tougher assignment in this week 15 rematch against our beloved Broncos. Who will progress to the Conference round to take on either the Patriots or Texans? We will find out Saturday.
Why to Watch
Broncos in the playoffs, Manning's first playoff game for the Broncos, possibly Ray Lewis last game, what more could you want?
Inside Story
I said it above; this is Ray Lewis's last hoorah in the NFL. His team will do everything it can to get him to one last Superbowl. But we ourselves are trying to take our own legend to the Superbowl and give one final present to a great owner. This game will probably surprise a few people and be really competitive because of it.

Prediction
The prior game between these two saw the Broncos take control late in the first half and run away with the game. Since then the Ravens have got a number of players back, one being Ray Lewis and are now more acquainted with their offensive coordinate. The previous OC was fired before the Broncos game. The Broncos will face a better team than last time but you can’t look past the Broncos at home. I am feeling a 31-24 score line to the Broncos. Go Broncos!
