AFC Championship game: Baltimore Ravens v New England Patriots for place in New Orleans Super Bowl

The headlines may all be about the Ray Lewis rollercoaster rolling on into New England, but there are far more important issues to be addressed when trying to work out will win the AFC Championship game between the Patriots and Ravens.

Prediction This is so hard to call, these two have locked horns five times in three years and five of the last six meetings have been decided by six points or less, so one big play here or one mistake there could make all the difference. Baltimore are riding high on emotion but this is a second tough road game in a row, after double overtime in strength-sapping Denver, and Brady's hurry-up offence could eventually wobble the legs of their veteran defence, so I'm just going for the Patriots to squeeze through and return to the Super Bowl.
