Prediction
Baltimore Ravens UNDER 9 (+115) Season Wins
Because
Joe Flacco is coming off his best season, I expect a regression this
season. The newly hired Marc Trestman (former Head Coach of the Chicago
Bears) will be the offensive coordinator for the Ravens. This
acquisition will take some time to adjust to and I think the Ravens will
get off to a slow start this season. They lost Torrey Smith along with
Jacoby Jones, who I believe played a bigger role than the lack of media
attention that he receives. Flacco will struggle to find open targets as
they won’t appear as often as they did in the past. This struggle may
lead to Flacco spending too much time in the pocket which will convert
to more sacks this season. I don’t expect the Ravens the go above or
even match the 26.1 points per game that they averaged last season. If
the oddsmakers release a Total of 45 or higher, I would strongly suggest
to look towards playing the UNDER in the Ravens games. The defense will
most likely allow more points per game than last season due to the fact
that they will be on the field longer due in part to a struggling
offense. However, they were the 6th best defense last season in points
allowed so they shouldn’t allow more than 4 more points than last
season’s average of 19.7 points allowed per game.
