Ravens, 49ers... picking right up where they left off after fluke losses in January... on a collision course to face each other again in the 'big one'.
Why not the Ravens 1? They beat us last year and the Ravens offense looked good. Basically the niners and Ravens are the same team. I think the niners are better but the tie breaker for most people will be last year's game until the niners prove otherwise (or the Ravens lose).
I would also say the Ravens. They have a much more explosive offensive weapon than we do.
benefit of the doubt goes to the niners. they beat up a superbowl favorite. the bengals have a solid team, but they're not the packers.
Ravens arguably have a better team, but that's not necessarily how it works in power rankings.
