ESPN's Match-up Predictor gives the Ravens a 69.5% chance of winning. 

 

The Ravens are 5.5 point favorites. 

The Over / Under is 43.

Some interesting names on the DNP list for today.

 

RB G. Edwards WR O. Beckham Jr OT M. Moses OT R. Stanley OLB O. Oweh CB R. Ya-Sin

 

Hopefully just some veteran day offs, but it looks like Oweh and Moses are trying to play through some things.

 

 

On the positive side, Williams and Daryl Worley returned to practice.

Don't know if Williams practicing is great news with the way Stone has played.

I think it allows the Ravens to use Hamilton closer to the LOS in the slot or as the 3rd safety.  Williams returning, does not mean Stone hits the bench.

[You Play to Win the Game]

The secondary in general has come along nicely. I think it’s being aided by the pressure the guys up front have generated. It’s been a pleasant surprise. This defensive coaching staff really has done a nice job, and EDC got them a couple blue chip weapons to work with too in Roquan and Hamilton.

Stone's snaps did drop a lot vs Pitt and Tenn when Williams played, but I have to believe they will try and get all 3 on the field or else give Williams plenty of rest. Stone has earned the playing time.

 

They play nickel or more most of the time anyway, plenty of room for 3 safeties.

[Mike B]

Only 3 players missed practice today.

Moses - shoulder

Ya-Sin  Illness

Cleveland- illness

 

Returning were

OBJ

Oweh

Edwards

Stanley

Always makes me nervous when more than 1 guy misses due to illness. Who else is gonna get sick by Sunday?

It should.  I had KC in a 5 team moneyline parlay last week and all 4 of the others won.  KC looked like crap against a team Mahomes had never lost against.  Didn't find out until well after the game started that Mahomes and several other Chiefs had the flu the past week.  Can't say definitively that was the reason but the post game analysis mentioned how the Broncos seemed to have quite a bit more energy on the field and the KC offense could only manage 3 FGs on the day.  Certainly would appear the flu had something to do with that bad of a performance.

Yeah, we all have our ups and downs, but no one really cares if I don't feel great when I go to work. You never really hear confirmation either as long as people play. I remember last year when we were mediocre against Carolina, Lamar missed Friday practice sick and no one really said anything more after that, but we barely beat a bad team so maybe that had something to do with it.

Ravens pull away 31-21.

[Mike in STL]

Too close for comfort.

Ravens 23 - Seahawks 20

[TwentyThirtyFive]

I expect Sea to cover. Ill leave it at that. There is still enough room to not cover but win

[makoman]

I haven’t seen them play, but even though they’re 5-2 the overall stats seem mediocre and they should have lost to PJ Walker. Probably should be a comfortable win but that doesn’t seem to be how we do things.

[SonicAttack]

Lamar vs Geno, Lamar easily wins, but Carroll is a great HC.  Ravens -6, yes.

[cprenegade]

Ravens should win.  Seattle coming across country to play at 1.  That's usually a fair disadvantage for West coast teams.  Seattle doesn't do anything extremely well on offense that the Ravens can't handle.  They do have a good set of receivers which can cause trouble.  Interesting that so far the weakest link in the secondary to my eye has been Humphrey.  Hollywood burned him at least once last week, and he gave up the winning TD from Pickett to Pickens.  I think the injury is still lingering with him.  Seattle also doesn't see Lamar often so that's to their disadvantage.   Ravens 27  Seattle 16.

I'd imagine it's still a disadvantage, but it's mitigated a bit this particular Sunday.

[PrimeTime]

I hate seeing Moses down. He's been a real nice piece at RT.

Geno Smith has not been very careful with the football over his last few games, hoping that continues and our maybe our Geno can grab another pick.

The Seahawks have been good against opposing running backs but have struggled when opposing QBs run. Lamar may have his best rushing game of the season.

Ravens get it done, 26-20.

[BaltBird 24]

I refuse to be afraid of Geno Smith.

[Mackus]

Corner blitzes not getting home two straight plays but doesn't hurt due to the dropped pass.
