ESPN's Matchup Predictor gives the Ravens a 88.2% chance of winning. 

 

The Ravens are 12.5 point favorites. 

 

The over / under is 44.

Anything can happen in the NFL, and Carolina has a reasonably good defense, but I'd be bitterly, bitterly disappointed with a loss in this game.

Unless the Ravens are turning the ball over and playing in a trance, I don't see how you can lose this game. It would be a shocking loss. I'm not expecting any huge blowout but it would be pretty embarrassing to not win by at least 10-14 points.

I think our old friend Baker is going to take a beating.  I am looking forward to Sunday.  It feels like a year since we have had a Sunday  home game.

[NewMarketSean]

With Baker at QB I think they have a better chance to make this a game. But that said I think we still win by 3 scores pretty handily.

Ravens 31 Panthers 16

Easy win for the good guys.

Andrews did not practice today.  It would not surprise me to see him get another week.

Likely is making me miss Andrews less and less.

Not sure I'd go that far, but considering the next opponent and Likely's contributions and potential, Andrews sitting one more week is fine with me.

According to Channel 11 sports, both Andrews and Edwards practiced but were limited. I have a feeling they both play.

Personally, I would sit anyone not 100% or near to it.  I think the Ravens had a better chance of losing to the bye week than to the Baker Mayfield led Panthers.  Nothing against Baker, who can show flashes, but the Panthers don't have much anywhere.  This has blowout of the week written all over it.   The only way it isn't is if the Ravens just kept partying after their mini vacation.  Ravens 37  Panthers 6.

We have enough at TE, I'm good with that

I hope they don't. They're not needed for this game.

Just gonna put it out there - 4 of Baker's 5 best performances have evidently come against the Ravens.

I don't think Baker or the Panthers are good, but when you disrespect your opponent enough the football gods have a way of reminding you that every player on the field is a professional, and anything can happen. It's not like Carolina is Murray State or something. Play your guys if they're good enough to go.

[russsnyder]

Andrews and Edwards should play if they are healthy. You can always pull them if you get ahead.

I guarantee you that the coaches and players are not taking any opponent lightly or disrespecting them. 

 

On the other hand, the fans' collective of the opinion of the opponent has no bearing on the outcome of the game and we're free to tell it like it is; the Panthers stink and the double digit line is completely warranted.

You guarantee it?

How many times have we seen a team looking past an opponent they perceive as weak and get surprised? They're only human. I don't believe for a second that it's unreasonable to think they might view this game as a walkover.

He needs to get in his hedge. Can say I told you so if they pull the big upset.

Literally never said they'd get upset, or even implied it. I just dont want them starting their second string because they view this as a second bye week.
