Week 5: NFL Picks & Pans
After a pretty decent last week of picks (9-4), including the sad, but true pick of the hated Steelers over my upstart Ravens, I look ahead to this coming week's games with some rebounding by not only the Ravens, but some of the other losers from last week. Here goes: Carolina over Kansas City:...
Ravens Host Browns in Week 2
