More predictions from awesome fans:

Fifty Shades of Gray (@Jtay59) prediction: Defense pitches shutout…6 sacks and a pair of pick 6’s.

Verdict: Sell

Okay, I think the defense will have their way. This is a tempting prediction to buy. Shutouts are rare. The Ravens almost had a shutout against the Bills to open the 2018 season and a cheap symbolic field goal took it away. Six sacks is a bit much to ask for a team whose biggest question mark just happens to be the pass rushers. The defense will do well, this would be too much to expect in week 1.

Joseph J’s prediction (@Josephj0621): The Ravens have 300 rushing yards.

Verdict: Buy

More from Ebony Bird

Most teams shoot for 300 passing yards and the Ravens shoot for 300 rushing yards. This could happen. Jackson is going to contribute as a runner and Ingram, Hill and Edwards should all get chances to run the football at will against Miami. I think Jackson and the passing game show up in a big way early however this is a game where the ground game can get it all done.

Michael Wrobel Sr.’s prediction (@SrWrobel): Trace McSorley will be in the box score.

Verdict: Buy

I don’t think the Ravens can help themselves. They want to see what McSorley can do as a gadget quarterback. They want to add every wrinkle into this offense as they can. This has yes, this will happen all over it.

@Laboyzz predicts: 2 defensive touchdowns and 3+ turnovers forced

Verdict: Sell

Can this happen? Yes. It doesn’t mean it’s an easy task for the purple and black. I think the Ravens will win this game convincingly but it won’t be like they are playing a Pop Warner team. This is too good to be the expectation. It’s a good goal though, and one that isn’t insanely out of reach.
