2. The Ravens Have A Good Bye Week:

The Ravens have to be happy about the bye week. They get their bye in week 10. The last thing they wanted was an early bye. By week 10, the idea of taking a break will be much needed for the Ravens. The bye week allows the Ravens to rest up for the final stretch of the season. The Ravens play four of their last seven games at home. If the Ravens can take care of business in Pittsburgh this year, the Ravens could use the last three weeks to run away with the division.

The Ravens have a Monday Night Football game with the Houston Texans in week 12. This is big for a few reasons. First, the game is at home, which is huge considering the Ravens past woes in Houston. Secondly, two weeks after the bye week they have an extra day to prepare for a game. The second half of the season works out really well for the purple and black.

Remember how the Ravens had a letdown against the Eagles, before their big game against the Steelers in 2016? Playing a tough team like the Detroit Lions the week before will keep the Ravens from looking forward.
