GO GIANTS!
Prediction: Giants: 34, Ravens: 10
As of this posting, Baltimore is favored by
3 points and the over/under is 32.5.*
However, if anyone is interested in a small wager
I would be willing to bet $5 or so that the
Giants will win outright. Any Ravens fans out there?
Check back! I'll add any takers to the WU for
bragging rights; yours or mine, we'll see.

Result: Ravens: 34, Giants: 7
I got amazingly close to the score, but I wish
I had gotten the winner correct instead. No one
here backed the Ravens, so at least
I have my money to keep me warm.
The game was played on Sunday,
28 January 2001 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa,
Florida. Kickoff was at 6:28 pm
EST, and it was partly cloudy
with a temperature at 68o F
and a 8 mph breeze from the west. The Giants
were the de facto home team.
The Ravens defense was totally dominating, and would
have given Baltimore a shut out except for a kickoff
returned 97 yards for a touchdown by Ron Dixon at
the end of the third quarter. Embarassingly, on the
ensuing Giants' kickoff, J. Lewis scored a touchdown
for the Ravens with an 84 yard return.
