2. Joe Flacco Is Back

Flacco has been getting a lot of raved reviews (pun intended) from Ravens training camp. Against the Lions, we saw the praise was accurate. Flacco quickly got on a roll and moved the Ravens offense down the field. Although he didn’t lead a touchdown drive, Flacco looked sharp and collected. There was good timing and there was accuracy.

The Ravens biggest offseason concern had to be the health of their franchise quarterback. It was a reservation in the back of all of our minds about Baltimore’s chances. Flacco has shown great composure and has given us the confidence to bet on the Ravens.

The Ravens offense was missing a ton of pieces throughout training camp. From the start, Flacco was under center. This set the purple and black on the right track. There is no doubt that number five is ready for the regular season.
