Fins vs Ravens - Tale of the Tape
Posted: December 31st, 2023, 9:53 am
Another big challenge this week for the Hard Knocks heroes as the 11-3 Miami Dolphins travel to Charm City to face the formidable 12-4 Baltimore Ravens. This could easily wind up being the AFC Championship game in a few weeks, but the winner this week will likely determine who will be the home team for that foreseeable match up. Miami has silenced a lot of doubters by beating Dallas last week. Perhaps they silence the haters this week by beating a team with a winning record on the road. Both teams can run, pass, and play great defense. I think Miami has more injury concerns playing without speedy wide receiver Jalen Waddle and could be without secondary stars Jevon Holland and Jalen Ramsey. On paper, the match ups are pretty darn even. TEAM STATS (provided by ESPN.com)
