Known then as the transplanted franchise from Cleveland, the Ravens had never produced a winning season or clinched a playoff bid in their first four seasons. In 2000, Baltimore s identity was forged by 11 bullies on defense who weren t just bent on shutting out teams. They wanted to punish you with every drive-you-in-the-turf sack and swarming gang tackle behind the line of scrimmage.
Their NFL records for fewest points (165) and rushing yards (970) in a 16-game season have never been threatened. The one offensive touchdown allowed is the fewest ever in four postseason games. The swagger exuded by the Ravens caused jaws to drop at a record rate as well, though the NFL doesn t exactly keep track of that.

The NFL playoffs are right around the corner. You can feel it in the air. There is this beautiful sense of do-or-die, with a little taste of Super Bowl hope.
Unlike previous years, we will get 14 teams in the postseason. That alone will make picking the best teams a little harder this year.
Betting on the Superbowl is so much fun, but plenty of times, we will find a QB that is not having that much fun on the field.
