Once again, the road to the Super Bowl goes through Foxborough.

On Sunday at 6:30 p.m., in a rematch of last year's AFC championship, Baltimore comes to Gillette Stadium to tackle New England.

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.
