Prediction 2. The Ravens go 10-6 on new momentum, losing only to the Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs are going to beat the Ravens. They are the best looking team in the AFC, and winning that game would require a brand of football, the Ravens haven’t played all season. The rest of the schedule is easier. The Ravens have to play the Falcons this weekend, then they get a penciled in loss to the Chiefs. The Ravens will rebound with the Buccaneers at M&T Bank Stadium. The Chargers will be a tough game, but the Ravens will go into the west coast battle with confidence.
Looking at this schedule people have been saying that the Ravens need to get to 9-7. 10-6 is there for the taking. They just have to show up on a week to week basis and win a toss up game in Los Angeles. If the Ravens walk into Los Angeles on pace, they will be a fairly accomplished team at that point. The Chargers are a good team, but they aren’t the Super Bowl favorites or anything.
The Ravens are going to go to the playoffs with momentum that came from Jackson’s insertion as the starting quarterback. Teams just need to get hot at the right time to give themselves a chance for the playoff push, right? That’s exactly what we’re seeing here. The Ravens are a brand new team with Jackson under center.
