Week 2 - Ravens at Bengals
Baltimore and Cincinnati always play in close, stereotypically-tough AFC North games. This season should be no different. After three competitive games last season, including a playoff game that Baltimore likely believes it would’ve won if healthy, the games between these two teams should be charged up this year.
The Bengals are a really good team with Super Bowl aspirations, so although Baltimore should put up a tough fight, Cincinnati should be able to protect its home field and win this game against the Ravens. However, as we know, anything can happen in the AFC North.
Ravens lose (1-1)
Week 3 - Ravens vs. Colts
This offseason, the Indianapolis Colts thought they had a chance at acquiring Lamar Jackson. Of course, that didn’t happen. Jackson is still in Baltimore, but the Colts did draft dynamic quarterback Anthony Richardson. With Richardson and offensive-minded head coach Shane Steichen, the future is bright for Indianapolis.
The Colts have a lot of pieces that could make this game competitive, but in the end, Baltimore should be too much for Indianapolis. Indy is working on developing young talent and establishing themselves as a team, and Baltimore is hoping to compete for a Super Bowl.
Ravens win (2-1)
