Weeks 13-17
Week 13: Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys (Thursday Night)
With two Thursday night games in a row, and an overconfident Ravens team, this could be a challenging game. The Cowboys have a ton of talent. This is a year where the Cowboys may put it all together and be one of the best teams in the league. I truly believe Jason Garrett was holding that team back and Mike McCarthy has a chance to go to the playoffs in his first year. The Ravens have one inexplicable game where they fall on their face a season. This is the last really tough game of the season 15-1 seasons are hard to come by. I’m marking this as a loss though it’s a winnable game at home.
Way too early prediction: Ravens lose 28-17
Week 14: Ravens @ Cleveland Browns (Monday Night Football)
After two tough games under the national spotlight, the Ravens are going to remind the NFL how good they are. Jackson, who has a history of big games in prime time is going to go off in this one. Put Jackson down for another performance like the one he had against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football, last year. Jackson will prove that he is Mr. Monday Night.
Way too early prediction: Ravens win 45-21
Week 15: Ravens vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars haven’t been very good and they are kind of in a rebuilding period after losing a ton of marquee talent over the last several seasons. The Ravens are contenders that should be on a roll at this point in the season. Enough said.
Way too early prediction: Ravens win 28-10
Week 16: Ravens vs. New York Giants
The Ravens defense shouldn’t have a hard time in this game. The Ravens secondary will have their way with a not so great receiving group. The front seven will dominate and make Daniel Jones have a very bad day. The Ravens will win this one easily with Jackson not needing to do much to get it done.
Ravens win 31-3
Week 17: Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals
The Ravens should have the division locked up at this point of the season. With this in mind I think they’ll rest their starters. Just like in their last Super Bowl winning season the backups will get beat by a hungry Bengals team who has nothing to lose and hope for the future.
Ravens lose 21-17
There is a look at the schedule for the purple and black. Here I have the Ravens winning their third straight AFC North championship and going 13-3. They certainly have the potential to have another monster season.
