UPDATED: Predict the Score: Patriots-Ravens for the AFC Championship
In a rematch of last year's conference title game, New England hosts Baltimore for the second year in a row. Will it turn out 23-20 Patriots like last year? Add your prediction in the comment section.
UPDATE: Well, it was just Bill and me who even picked the Ravens, who, as we all know too well, won 28-13. I'm not sure how to pick who was closer between my pick of 28-24 Ravens and Bill's pick of 27-24 Ravens. I think you could argue that either way.
Thanks, everyone, for the predictions.

Last year's battle ended memorably when Pro Bowl Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff missed a short field goal that would have sent the game into overtime. The Patriots won 23-20.
This year, the Patriots are an 8.5 point favorite to reach their second straight Super Bowl. The over/under is 51, as Vegas expects the trend of high-scoring playoff games to continue.
I was born in Baltimore, so I'll enrage everyone and pick:
Ravens 28 Patriots 24
What's your prediction for the score this year? No prizes, but we'll circle back after the game and give props to the person who was closest.
