Ravens Vs. Dolphins: With one of the most improbable seasons in the history of the NFL, the Miami Dolphins will host the Baltimore Ravens in this wild card matchup. Last year the Miami Dolphins were 1-15 and held the title of being the worst team in football. This year with a new coach, Tony Sparano, and a new quarterback, Chad Pennington, the Dolphins have had the largest turnaround in NFL history. Also, they have won the AFC East with a record of 11-5. The Dolphins have won five games in a row and beat out both the New England Patriots and New York Jets to win the division. The Ravens have a rookie quarterback, Joe flacco, and three great running backs in Willis McGahee, Le’ron McClain, and rookie Ray Rice. They have won five out of their last six games and have taken the last wild card in the AFC with a record of 11-5. When these teams last met in week seven, Chad Pennington threw for 295 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception for the Dolphins. Willis McGahee led the way for the Ravens as he rushed for 105 yards and 1 touchdown. In this game the Ravens defense shut down both Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. As a result the Ravens won 27-13.
Prediction: Unlike in week seven, the Ravens are not going to be able to control the Dolphins running game and wildcat offense. Experience will be a problem for the Ravens on offense and the surging Dolphins will win this game 26-14.
