Balt Sun: Ravens are slight road favorites in season opener vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Roll Call? Anyone else going? I'll be there with Gabe.

I wish, but no.   Have fun and bring home a win!

Balt Sun: Ravens DE Derek Wolfe out, CB Jimmy Smith questionable for season opener vs. Raiders

Evidently, Josh Jacobs may miss tomorrow night's game due to an illness. He was downgraded to questionable a few hours ago.

Oh no!  What will the Raiders do without one of their regular RBs?

[The Epic]

After seeing a few of the performances by some great/highly-paid QBs, I am incredibly nervous.

Balt Sun: Ravens vs. Raiders staff picks: Who will win Monday night’s season opener in Las Vegas?

[Mackus]

If I counted right, Harbaugh is 10-3 in season openers.  I think they win this one, too.

The margin of victory the last few years has been ridiculous, too. Particularly, the last 2 openers with Lamar at the helm the combined scores were 97-16.

Correct.  I think they win, but I would not bet too much on it.

 

I will feel better early, if I see Williams on any other RB step up early.  I think the Raiders bring the heat.  The RB's need to help pick up the blitzes.

And you better believe that Carr is going to go right after Averett, early and often.  Another area of concern, as it has been since Lamar started, is pass protection.  That's why play action is going to be imperative and the ground game firing on all cylinders.  The way this team has been built, 3rd and long is not going to fly.  Not that's its easy for any team but the Ravens in particular could be vulnerable.

I think Lamar has one of those 40+ yard runs right up the middle when they try to overload the outside lanes to contain him.

[jamesdean]

It will also be nice if we can get out of this game without any more season ending injuries. 

[Mike in STL]

No Freeman or Bell tonight. RBs will be Williams, Murray, Cannon.

Wolfe out
Jimmy and Hayes questionable.

Levine and Ellis activated for this game. Revert to PS afterwards.

Only 51 on the active roster before Ellis and Levine. I imagine Wolfe, Jimmy, Hayes, Colon are inactive, and one more healthy scratch. Ar’Darius Washington? If Levine plays that still leaves them with 9 DBs.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Get a W any way.

[You Play to Win the Game]

What's up with Bell? He was signed before Murray, right?
