Are we getting a Lock of the Week. I still believe in you.

Tennessee -6.5

*college not NFL

Stanley is ruled out for tomorrow. Not a big surprise. Hope he's back for week 3 so he's tuned up a little bit for the Bills.

 

Curious if James starts or if they do something weird, like move Moses or even Mekari. I don't think you do Moses or else you have to change two positions when Stanley comes back. Probably will be James.

I think it will be James.  He worked there in the preseason games and was there at the practices I attended.  Harbs basically said it was going to be James.

James will probably start. If he looks horrible, I'd imagine we see Mekari out there instead.

Week 1 is finally upon us. I'm thinking Ravens 27-13. We'll set the tone early with a good opening drive but more importantly, we're going to win the turnover battle today. Fingers crossed that I'm some kind of Nostradamus.

[JStruds]

Curious to see if NYJ try to come early and often with heavy pressure ala Miami last season. And, if so, how the team handles it.

I don't see a blowout here, but the Ravens will prevail simply because they're not the Jets. This is a franchise that would have a hard time running a two-car funeral, and whose best quarterback in team history is now hawking social security benefits.

 

If the Ravens lose today, they should just quit and go home.

Interested to see what Roman and MacDonald have cooked up. Its the storyline of this game.

It's still a road game in the NFL, but generally I agree with this. The Jets must be assumed to be a disaster until they are not.

Agreed, particularly with Macdonald. We know what to expect from Roman but I'm intrigued to see how Macdonald generates pressure (especially given the lack of depth at OLB/edge) and how he moves pieces around in the secondary. Especially since the Jets will probably use some 2 TE looks.

Also, weather is going to be a factor today, as it appears it will likely be raining for the duration of the game.

Feels like last season. No JK, no Gus, no Stanley, maybe no Peters. Hate this lol

As far as JK and Peters go, probably being extra cautious with the crappy weather. Gotta play the long game.

[makoman]

Peters was apparently running stairs at the stadium for over 30 minutes, he’s been practicing for several weeks, I’m surprised he’s not healthy enough to be active. Edit yeah maybe the weather is a factor.

Boyle, Dobbins, Stanley, Jones, Faalele also inactive. Boyle wasn’t on the injury report so that’s odd.

If they take this too lightly and start 0-1, how does that help the long game?

[Slidemaster]

I have a bad feeling about this game.

Lots of injuries. Bad weather. Lots of guys hurt from last season who are *STILL* not playing. Flacco revenge game.

All it will take is a couple of deep connections to Garrett Wilson or Elijah Moore and they could be down in a hurry.

All the ingredients of an upset. I hope they make a statement early.

That and general rust might keep this game closer than most people are expecting... but the Ravens would have to cough the ball up numerous times to lose imo. 

Won't surprise me if it's a game entering the 4th, but the Ravens should be able to pull away.

If they do. And find the same level of success, while Roman flounders about, losing another game against it. He should 100% be fired after this week. That would be 100%, inexcusable. He's got to know teams are going to come out and hit him with that again. If he doesn't have multiple ways of attacking it after a full offseason to plan against it, he should be gone.

Multiple turnovers a game were Jackson's M.O. last year.
