Lamar Jackson is 8-2 as a starter, and he hasn’t thrown an interception since Week 11 of last season. Guess who those two losses came against. If you said the Kansas City Chiefs, give yourself a gold star.
The Ravens don’t beat themselves. They don’t have very many weaknesses, other than the fact that they’re inexperienced at quarterback.
They lead the NFL in time of possession. It’s hard to beat any NFL team if you don’t get the ball enough, and the Baltimore Ravens don’t share the ball with anyone. When Tom Brady finally calls it a career and Bill Belichick leaves coaching for television (Don’t fool yourselves. He’s more entertaining of a listen than you realize), the Kansas City Chiefs may slide into their spot, the best team in the AFC.
The Ravens will play the role of the Pittsburgh Steelers during the Brady/Belichick era, a normally very good team that can’t beat the best team in their conference.

We never really took something into consideration, and maybe we should have. Teddy Bridgewater is the highest-paid backup in this league for a reason. The New Orleans Saints fell out of ITI’s top ten, and that was a mistake. Bridgewater can win games.
This past Sunday, he led his team into the Pacific-Northwest against the Seattle Seahawks and led them to a win in a very difficult place to play, CenturyLink Field.
Here’s something of note. That loss was Seattle’s first in September during the Pete Carroll era. Bridgewater has a winning record as a starter. On Sunday night, don’t be surprised if he beats the Dallas Cowboys.
