The Ravens should take care of business tonight, but the Raiders seem to be one of those teams who always surprise good teams. They do play hard and they definitely have talent, but for whatever reason they can’t seem to string together wins and often blow games against lesser opponent. Baltimore is certainly not a lesser opponent, and with home field advantage and a fully healthy squad, I think the Raiders keep this game close. I think their offense does well against a tough Ravens defense, and we see Waller have a big game as Jacobs and Drake will threaten the rush offense which will open up the receivers. Lamar and the Ravens will do their thing on offense too so I expect a lot of points in this one. Take the Raiders +4, over 50 total points, and Lamar Jackson over 210.5 passing yards. I think Lamar takes full advantage of the Raiders weak passing defense, especially now that he has a legitimate threat in Sammy Watkins at his disposal.
