The Baltimore Ravens travel to the New England Patriots for a "Monday Night Football" matchup Dec. 12. PressBox football writers and radio personalities share their thoughts on the game.

"Monday Night Football" has a good one this week. Both teams have given up 207 points on defense. However, the big difference is, the Ravens, who scored 38 points against the Dolphins last week, have scored 256 on the season, while the Patriots have scored 319. The good John Harbaugh-coached teams used to peak at the right time. I am not willing to say this is a "good" John Harbaugh-coached team just yet, but with Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski out, I am willing to say the Ravens are trending positively enough for me to take the 7.5-points the oddsmakers are giving.
