Super Bowl XLV
Dallas vs Baltimore: Baltimore
There it is folks; the Super Bowl XLV winner will be the Baltimore Ravens. Led by fantasy football superstar Ray Rice and quarterback Joe Flacco on offense, the Ravens are sure to have one of the most dynamic teams in all of football in 2010. With perennial All-Pro Safety Ed Reed coming back and supposedly healthy for the new season, Baltimore is primed and ready to have one of their best seasons in a few years.
The additions of Anquan Boldin and T.J. Houshmanzadeh should really help the Ravens’ offense this year and if they are able to find a rhythm this team could be really scary. They already have one of the best rushing attacks with the likes of Ray Rice, Willis McGahee, and Le’Ron McClain, and we all know about their ferocious defense lead by Ray Lewis. Look for the Ravens to dominate at times and be the team to beat in the AFC this year. Good luck in your 2010 fantasy football season!
