DC’s predictions (@MTRaven51):
- Ravens 31 Cardinals 17
- Ingram has over 100 yards and a touchdown Jackson throws for 270, 2 touchdowns and an interception. He also rushes for 70 and a touchdown.
- Hollywood has 3 catches for 40 yd Mark Andrews 7 catches for 90 and a score.
Verdict: Buy
This set of predictions is pretty much spot on. I think this is very realistic. The score seems about right. There will be some opposition this week, yet the Ravens aren’t facing the New England Patriots. This should be a good day for Mark Ingram. That’s a reasonable stat line for Jackson. I like all of this. I think Andrews may even have a little more than 90 yards. Good predictions here.
Robert Fuse’s predictions (@TheRobFuseMan) Anthony Averett gets his first pick six of the season and Jaylon Ferguson gets a sack:
Verdict: Sell
I’m not allowed to be this happy. I would love to see both things happen, which means they won’t. I do like what you’re thinking with Averett. That could happen. I’m not sure Ferguson is there. We shall see. I’m a big fan of both players, so I am rooting for this one but trying to ground my expectations a bit.
Joe’s prediction (@JoeMcKenny): Mark Andrews goes for over 100 again and finds pay dirt for the second week in a row.
Verdict: Buy
T.J. Hockenson went for over 100 yards against the Cardinals. Anything Hockenson can do, I really do believe that Mark Andrews can do better. This match up is good for this prediction. I put Andrews on my 3 projected top performers post for a reason.
Hassan Zakai’s prediction (@hassanzakai): This is a trap game & we’re going to have to win ugly. I think we survive 24-21 with Murray playing well. Tucker hits game winner
Verdict: Sell
I think the Ravens smell blood in the water in the AFC North. I don’t think there will be a week 2 let up. This is a game they are expected to win. They never left the gas pedal alone against the Dolphins, why would they change tactics against the Cardinals. I think this is the year the Ravens take care of business. I am predicting their most consistent season under John Harbaugh. The Ravens are the better team, at home. This better be a moderately easy win.
Joeseph J’s prediction (@josephj0621): Miles Boykin and Mark Andrews hit triple digits and Matt Judon and Pernell McPhee get 2 sacks apiece.
Verdict: Sell (kind of)
I could see all of that happening. Again it seems a little too rich of a prediction. This is the best possible scenario. I have three sacks between Judon and McPhee, so I kind of want to give you this one. Secondly, I think Andrews getting 100 yards is the safest bet in the week 2 game. I don’t see Boykin going for 100 yards. It all could happen, that’s just not one I’m buying.
Thank you to everybody who participated on Twitter. I really appreciate each and every one of you. I got a ton of predictions. If I missed yours, keep them coming. I want to include everyone this season. We will do this every week because the Ravens Flock is amazing.
