3. Tough Road Games
Beating the Green Bay Packers is tough. Beating them at Lambeau field is even tougher. Taking down Derek Carr and the Raiders isn’t easy. Doing it on the road makes this especially true. The Ravens have to play the Bengals on the road to open the season. While the Ravens should be the better team the Bengals have won the last five times the Ravens have traveled to Cincinnati.
The Ravens toughest games are on the road. The Ravens haven’t been a great team on the road in recent years, so this is troubling. The trip to London is especially annoying when you consider that it costs the purple and black a home game. The Ravens will only play seven games at M&T Bank Stadium. They will play their regular eight away games. Less time at the Bank isn’t a good thing for Baltimore or the city’s beloved team.
