Week Four of the 2011 NFL Schedule Headlines Great Defense

A rematch of a very hard fought week one battle from a year ago, this week four matchup of the New York Jets vs. the Baltimore Ravens will be all about defense once again. A battle of mediocre quarterbacks striving to win the big games, defense will dominant like it normally does.

The final score won't be 10-9 like last year, but it will be close. By week four most teams know what is working and what needs to be forgotten. The Jets have a tough week one game, but then two easy match-ups before they face Baltimore. The Ravens will be coming off a surprising tough game against Sam Bradford and the Rams, but they will still be ready to face New York.

Ray Lewis will lead the way for Baltimore, which means Mark Sanchez wil be forced to try and win with his arm. Is he ready for that? I don't think so. I like Joe Flacco more in this game because he will have had more time to get better acquainted with Anquan Boldin. Together these two will hook up on key plays to win the game for Baltimore.

The Jets are vying for a Super Bowl run this year, but the Ravens are just a better defensive unit. They will do exactly what they did a year ago and shut down the Jets offense. Sanchez won't throw for over 100 yards nor will any running back rush for more than 75 yards.

Prediction: Ravens win 17-12
