Baltimore Ravens: How the experts predict the 2017 season
By Joe Schiller
Bleacher Report
Predicted Record: 9-7
Bleacher Report sports writer Richard Janvrin goes into the most detail for each team. Something to keep in mind, this was put out before the draft. Here is a piece of what he had to say about the Ravens:
"For many years, the Baltimore Ravens have been a dark horse in the AFC playoff picture. They remain competitive against teams such as the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers, but they come up short more often than not. The Ravens are somewhere in the middle this season—to apply a football term, they’re a tweener. They’re not a bad team, but they don’t come off as a serious threat to create any noise either."
He also highlights the the toughest game for the Ravens (Oakland Week 5) as well as prove it games (Green Bay/Detroit/Steelers X2). The Ravens have an easier schedule than last season, but they still come up against some very tough opponents. Play at Green Bay, Oakland, Minnesota and Tennessee is not going to be an easy feat. The road play from the Ravens will say a lot about them in 2017.
