Ravens Keys For Success
1. Pressure the QB. The Packers have a weak offensive line, so the Ravens should be able to get to QB Aaron Rodgers. If they can't, then they can't beat Green Bay. Look for the Ravens to bring a lot of pressure, especially off the edges. ILB Ray Lewis will be a key to getting pressure because he has become the team's best blitzer, and the Ravens like to move him around the line of scrimmage.
2. Establish the run. It's the time of the season when the top teams want to improve their running game, and this is the perfect time for the Ravens, who will want to keep Rodgers off the field. But Ravens QB Joe Flacco is also struggling with an ankle injury, and it has hampered his play in recent games. Flacco is having problems with mobility and stepping into the ball, so any help from the running game will be crucial.
3. Mix it up. The Ravens have to get everyone involved in the passing game, not just WR Derrick Mason and RB Ray Rice. The Ravens are too predictable at times, and they are at their best when Flacco is connecting with WR Mark Clayton and TE Todd Heap. Also, slot receiver Kelley Washington has to become a primary weapon again on third down situations.

Packers Keys For Success
1. Get Charles Woodson near the line of scrimmage. After using him the past two weeks to cover WR Calvin Johnson and TE Vernon Davis, it's time to get Woodson back in the box. The secondary can probably handle the other receivers provided there's decent pass rush, so it makes sense to send Woodson on a lot of blitzes. When he's in the box, he can play the run and should be a good safety valve against Ravens RB Ray Rice breaking big runs.
2. Spread out the Ravens. As important as it is to establish the running game in what could be fairly chilly conditions, it's going to be critical to get the Ravens in nickel and dime situations and isolate tight end Jermichael Finley and one of the receivers on the Ravens' linebackers. Ray Lewis can still move north and south, but if the Packers can get Finley or a running back to challenge him in the flats, it might help take him out of the game. A lot will depend on how well the line blocks.
3. Commit fewer penalties on special teams than the Ravens. Both teams are among the most penalized in the NFL and are committing a lot of infractions on special teams. Field position will be critical because there likely won't be a lot of scoring, so the team that keeps wiping out returns with dumb penalties will be at a disadvantage. Expect a lot of hitting, but if the Packers are smarter, they'll have a better shot at winning.
