Today I’m going to be looking at bold predictions submitted by the Ravens Flock via Twitter. Do I buy or sell these predictions?

Tynan Patrick’s prediction (@Tymonster183): Lamar Jackson rushes less than five times.

Verdict: Buy

Last week Jackson did all of his work as a quarterback. I buy that Jackson doesn’t always need to get the job done with his legs any more. I think Jackson will take what the defense gives him. If the Cardinals have a similar strategy to the Dolphins, if they didn’t buy into his week 1 performance, Jackson will torch the Cardinals secondary. This one can go either way, but because I can see Jackson winning this game without taking off more than five times, I am buying this one.

Adam Lindgren’s prediction (@AdamEric1985): Terrell Suggs has no sacks against the Ravens.

Verdict: Buy

Terrell Suggs is actually coming off a pretty dominant performance against the Detroit Lions. Getting to Matthew Stafford however is a lot easier than getting to the fastest quarterback alive. Even in the event that Suggs gets pressure on Jackson, Jackson has a whole other gear. It may be a defense mechanism but I’m buying this. I don’t want to see Suggs sack Lamar Jackson.

A.J. McNemar’s prediction (@AJMcNemar): Instead of Hollywood, (Miles) Boykin goes for 2 TD’s BUT has under 50 yards receiving for the game.

Verdict: Buy

Miles Boykin is about as good of a red zone threat as you will see as a rookie. I buy that Boykin could catch a couple touchdowns and still not get over 50 yards receiving. He had five yards against the Dolphins, but cashed in on a touchdown pass. Boykin has such a big body and he’s so quick and hard for defensive backs to stick with. This prediction is based on a lot of things that make sense and I like it. I also think the star of the week will alternate in this offense. There are lots of plays to be had by a handful of stars.

Julien Bosc’s prediction (@ravensfan1991): Bold prediction: Lamar Jackson
throws for 300+ yards and 3 touchdowns and rushes for 80+yards with another 2 touchdowns vs. the Cardinals:

Verdict: Sell 

While this is possible it’s hard to predict that Jackson will have back to back 300 yards day passing. It’s hard to believe that in two games he will have eight passing touchdowns and two on the ground. That’s absolute ceiling for his performance. I think it will look good, this sounds too good to be true. That said, nobody believes in Jackson more than I do. Nobody would be happier if your prediction turned out to be correct, Julien.

The Yorugua Raven’s prediction (@YoruguaThe): There will be two Ravens defensive touchdowns.

Verdict: Buy

Good things happen for the Ravens in M&T Bank Stadium when the team is good. Look for this one to come true. The Ravens got two interceptions against the Dolphins. I don’t know if you can call a team that lost 59-10 lucky, but they were fortunate defensive scores didn’t make it worse. I am buying that the defense gets on the scoreboard against the Cardinals. A rookie quarterback in M&T Bank Stadium should be good for this prediction.
