1. The Ravens are at near full strength, the Packers are not:

When the Green Bay Packers have Aaron Rodgers under center they are a Super Bowl contender. When they have Brett Hundley under center, they’re very beatable. All of the sudden the Packers bad offensive line is a little worse. The offense stops rolling as a beacon of efficiency and the Packers defense has to do more of the work than it used to. To make things worse for the Packers they may not have their best running back in Aaron Jones.

For the first time this season, the purple and black have the edge when it comes to injuries. Things are looking so up for Baltimore that Danny Woodhead may even come back to the action. That won’t solve all the problems that the Ravens have but, it’s safe to say that Joe Flacco is excited about this possibility. The Ravens have battled a lot of injuries this year and right now the team is pretty much completely in tact.

If the Ravens are going to be a playoff team (which is a huge if) they have to stop losing games where they have the advantage. They played a rookie quarterback at home and lost to a Bears team that had one win. This would be a similar kind of loss, just on the road. The cards are stacked in the favor of Baltimore. The only card the Packers have is home field advantage.
