Baltimore Ravens fans, here are 5 optimistic predictions, backed up with the reasons they could happen.

Prediction 1. Lamar Jackson makes it an easy decision and finishes the season as the starting quarterback:

The Baltimore Ravens are 2-0 with Lamar Jackson as their quarterback. The Atlanta Falcons may be in front of their home crowd, but Jackson has a strong chance at making it a 3-0 start to his career. The Atlanta Falcons are one of the worst teams in the NFL when it comes to stopping the run. Jackson and Edwards will continue their impressive work on the ground, Jackson will connect on some big passes and the Ravens will walk out of Atlanta knowing that Jackson is their guy.

Jackson is going to make it impossible for John Harbaugh to take him out of the lineup. How could you turn away from a three game winning streak. How could you turn away from not only doing things you couldn’t do all season, but things no team has done this season. Winning with Jackson as a rookie is about as refreshingly unique as the NFL gets. The Ravens will go on a three game winning streak before they play the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jackson made progress between his first and his second start. His second performance showed that he could throw the ball accurately. Jackson has all the ability, but it’s not all about him. The team is better with him under center because they play a completely different style of football. It is one that works. Jackson will remain the starter, because he will show that the team can win with him.
