Baltimore Ravens vs. Arizona Cardinals

Don’t worry, Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals fans. We didn’t leave you out of this equation.

So your feathery friends aren’t birds of prey, and they wouldn’t be taking part in the previous matchup between the Eagles, Seahawks and Falcons. But you can still have your aerial showdown nonetheless.

In one corner of this NFL matchup, the Cardinals could boast having an equal partner in MLB’s St. Louis Cardinals. That’s a plus. Yet the Ravens can count on Edgar Allan Poe’s famous poem.

It’s a tossup who wins.
