Week 15 - Ravens at Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars were one of the league’s surprising teams last season, arriving to a competitive status quicker than expected. With Doug Pederson as head coach and Trevor Lawrence at quarterback, Jacksonville was able to mobilize its young talent and win the weak AFC South with a 9-8 record. The Jaguars have a chance to be even better this season.
They should be able to compete with Baltimore, but Jacksonville shouldn’t win. The future is very bright for the Jaguars, and they have a chance to dominate the rebuilding AFC South, but Baltimore should still be too much for them.
Ravens win (11-3)
Week 16 - Ravens at 49ers
Everyone expects the San Francisco 49ers to be a top team again but no one knows what’s going to happen at quarterback for them. San Francisco no longer has Jimmy Garoppolo to fall back on and both Trey Lance and Brock Purdy are coming off injuries. However, the rest of the roster is still great, so the 49ers should be competitive.
Will they have enough to compete with the Ravens? Yes, enough to compete but not enough to win. Fred Warner and San Francisco’s elite defense should definitely challenge Baltimore’s promising offense, but the Ravens should be able to do enough to win on the road.
Ravens win (12-3)
