baltimore — The Baltimore Ravens have completed another week of practice and are scheduled to board a plane to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars on Sunday night.
A win could clinch a playoff spot for the Ravens.
The Ravens are understandably the road favorite in prime time. they are healthy. They are on a winning streak. The Jaguars have had the opposite experience. They lost badly, had two players sent off, had seven players questionable, and lost two games in a row, both upset losses.
WJZ’s panel of experts has put together some predictions for the outcome of Sunday’s game at Everbank Stadium.
To win this game, the Ravens’ defensive line will need to put pressure on Trevor Lawrence and WJZ reporter Alex Glaze.
“Health is one of the most important factors when you look at these games, and right now I would say the Ravens are healthier at their most important position, especially quarterback,” Glaze said.
Glaze predicts the Ravens will win 26-14.
Steve Huber, host of “Huber in the Morning” on 100.7 The Bay, said the Jaguars are getting beat up and beat up by Ravens double agent Joe Flacco.
“That’s right. We put Joe Flacco on the Browns to help the Ravens, and he’s done just that,” he said.
Huber expects Lawrence to give the Ravens a bit of a tough time, but he still expects the Ravens to still manage to beat the Jaguars 24-17.
“It’s going to be a close game,” former wide receiver Kadri Ismail said. “I think it’s going to be a back-and-forth battle.”
Ismail expects the Ravens to surpass the 30-point mark again and beat the Jaguars 35-27.
WJZ anchor Rick Ritter said Ravens fans can expect their team to win 27-21.
“I’m sure they’ll be fine,” he said.
WJZ Sports Director Mark Viviano predicts the Ravens will beat Jacksonville 30-16.
“That Jagwagon is sagging,” he said.
