2. Baltimore Ravens
Behind the Bengals, things get really murky.  You have three teams that are 1-1, so determining who is better than who can be a bit subjective.  The Browns had a big win, but the Saints have a suspect defense and aren’t the same team on the road that they are in a dome.  So for this week, we give the nod to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens beat the Steelers rather easily on Thursday night, but they did it at home against a team that also has questions on defense. Â The Steelers have struggled on that side of the ball through two games, but the Ravens deserve credit for executing when it counted against a team that normally plays them tough no matter what the circumstances.
The Ravens are still a question mark, but they are trending in the right direction.  Week three’s game against the Browns will be a big litmus test after Cleveland played fairly well against the Saints.  If this team is for real, we’ll find out Sunday.
