Joe Flacco’s $120.1 Mil Contract Won’t Add Pressure: Latest Ravens Odds 2013-14

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has brushed off the idea that his new $120.1 million contract will result in lofty expectations. 

"All we can do is go out there and keep winning, just like we have every year we've been here and not really worry about what people say and what the expectations are," Flacco said Tuesday. "Who really cares?"

Flacco helped guide his team to a Super Bowl victory last year but oddsmakers have low hopes for a repeat.

The Ravens are a 30/1 odds long shot to win the big game in 2014 at Sportsbook.com, primarily a result of some key staff losses, including now retired Ray Lewis.  Baltimore is listed at +220 odds to win the AFC North.

"I can't really complain at this point. We won last year, I have a lot of money -- or I'm going to get a lot of money -- and we're going to win football games. That's the way it is around here," Flacco said a brief training camp practice with rookies and injured veterans. "We're not going to apologize for acting like a good football team. Yeah, our expectations are high, and we don't care if that comes with pressure. We expect to win."
