OTL: Vegas Still Likes Ravens to Win AFC

Isn’t it funny how quickly tunes change in a matter of two weeks? After a home beatdown of Joe Flacco and the Cleveland Browns, the Ravens are back on track as one of the league’s best teams:

That’s not to say the Ravens haven’t been one the NFL’s elite, but it does reinforce the idea that Baltimore will be right there when it comes to Super Bowl bidders. And to answer Kay Adams’ question, the Ravens had a commanding lead for the majority of the game against Buffalo. So, no, it’s not particularly surprising to see them ahead.

Additionally, when it comes to scoring, there’s a pretty stark gap between Baltimore’s offense and the rest of the league’s:

Needless to say, Lamar Jackson is a huge part of that:

Still, fans and media members have questions – and rightly so. Starting with the offensive side of the ball, the biggest concern has to be the offensive line. Before getting into the negatives, it’s worth highlighting RT Roger Rosengarten’s play, especially following a (relatively) decent performance against EDGE Myles Garrett:

On the negative side, the interior O-Line is the real issue. As RSR’s Cole Jackson notes, the game against Cleveland was particularly bad:

I don’t want to beat a dead horse, but RG continues to be the primary reason for that

It’s no fun picking on one Raven, especially after seeing him put in the work to improve this offseason. Unfortunately, though, Daniel Faalele has looked utterly lost out there. I wouldn’t say I agree with Samuel Njoku here, but this is never a good sign:

And as we know, everything starts with the O-Line. The Ravens might be putting up points, but aren’t converting as consistently as they have in years past.

I’d chalk most of that up to the hogs up front, but it could also be a result of slower starts for TE Mark Andrews and WR Rashod Bateman.

I expect both to have their moments, but OC Todd Monken may well be finding the right balance of targets across all their weapons. This plethora of options is what makes the offense so unstoppable.

On the defensive side, there are questions, as well. Again, though, I’ll start with a positive: Nate Wiggins. Many expected a breakout year for the 2nd-year CB, and he’s off to a good start:

His performance will be improved by an improved pass rush, which I feel is currently Baltimore’s defensive weakness. That concern will only grow if Kyle Van Noy misses extended time:

But the Ravens have a secret weapon in Mike Green, who’s ready to step up:

Green has yet to notch a sack, but he has shown flashes. And with just one interior player creating consistent pressure, the Ravens need more juice off the outside:

With a few games against strong offenses and QBs coming up, it’ll be critical for DC Zach Orr to take this pass rush up a step. Can they do it?
