With the 25th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft…


Receiver Derrick Mason, who is 36, is set to become an unrestricted free agent (UFA) and could possibly retire.  And considering Mason sort-of retired last year, I’m hoping — but not holding my breath — that I’ll see Mason in a Ravens’ uniform in 2010.

Saturday night will begin with the Ravens’ running game and Indianapolis knows it.  As DE Robert Mathis says, “If you have a good game plan, that’s making a team do something they don’t want to do.  So that’s what we’ve got to make them do.

Prediction: Ravens at Patriots


After the Jets beat the Bengals and the Cowboys beat the Eagles yesterday, we are down to ten teams left in the tournament.  After today, there will be eight.  Although all playoff matchups this weekend are rematches from the 2009 regular season, today’s Ravens-Patriots game is the only one of the weekend that is not a rematch from last week.
