8 Reasons the Ravens Will Triumph on Sunday

The Baltimore Sun came up with 52 reasons the underdog Ravens “could” win the AFC Championship game this Sunday; we’ve done them one better and amassed 8 reasons the Bad Birds will triumph.

1) The haircut in the photo above. The football gods have to reward such dedication, right?

2) For the past 3 NFL seasons, the Eagles’ opponent in their home opener has gone on to win the Super Bowl. Their 2012 opponent: the Baltimore Ravens.

3) ” target=”_blank”>This video features members of the Baltimore Police Department repeatedly saying “Go Ravens” and awkwardly threatening the city of Boston. Check out the amazing Baltimore accent at 0:59. Clearly, we are the superior city.

4) Over their most recent six matchups, the Ravens have scored 125 points to the Patriots’ 120. So we’re already winning.

5) This Ravens-themed reinterpretation of “Call Me Maybe” (“Hey, everyone else/Might think we’re crazy/But we’re the Ravens/So bring on Brady”). Cute! Meanwhile, Pats supporters are widely considered to be the most annoying fans in the NFL. Advantage:  Baltimore.

6) The Ravens sleep a lot. And everyone knows that being well-rested makes you good at your job.

7) Tom Brady’s dance:

Ray Lewis’s dance:

8) And, finally, have you seen the video of this guy freaking out when we beat the Broncos last week? Just imagine how nuts he’ll go if — excuse me, when — we emerge from Sunday’s game victorious.
