How the Baltimore Sun reporters, columnists and editors see the 2010 season:
Mike Preston: The schedule matters very little for the Ravens. The key is for coaches John Harbaugh and Cam Cameron to get the passing game to mesh, and for quarterback Joe Flacco to step up his game late in the season and into the post season. Ravens win the AFC North with an 11-5 record.
Jamison Hensley: 10-6. Ravens survive tough road schedule to make playoffs for third straight year. The only way the Ravens fail to do so is if Joe Flacco goes down with an injury.
Ken Murray: 10-6; Pittsburgh is down. The best games on the schedule are against the Patriots, Jets and Dolphins, all AFC East teams.
Peter Schmuck: 11-5: Should get fat on that home schedule, break even on the road and win the division.
Kevin Cowherd: 10-6. Improved Ravens will make their third playoff appearance in a row, but fall short of truly elite team status.
Edward Lee: 10-6. Ravens win the AFC North courtesy of Ray Rice, who finishes the regular season as the league's leading rusher.
Ron Fritz: 10-6. Ravens win three of the last four to earn their third straight playoff appearance under John Harbaugh.
Kevin Van Valkenburg: Assuming Joe Flacco stays healthy, the Ravens will go 12-4 and make their third playoff appearance under John Harbaugh. They still may have some trouble in close games and as a result they lose to New Orleans, the Jets and split with the Bengals and Steelers. But the team takes another step forward and is a real Super Bowl threat with an actual offense this year.
