I really like the Ravens -9.5 in this prime time spot as they come to play in the bright lights. The Ravens defense is almost offense like in their scoring ability, their offense, although shaky has been improving with Ray Rice working the ground/pass game and I think Rice is a VERY UNDERATED RB. HOWEVER, I think Joe flacco is a 2nd tier QB and cannot hold a candle to elite QB's like Brady/Rodgers. Getting there offense going is the one thing holding the ravens back from greatness. That being said:
- This is the Jags, Their 1-5, Blaine Gabbert is still a rookie QB - their offense revolves around MJD's ability to keep the defense honest, he will be flusterred and frustrated by the Ravens D by 2nd Quarter
- The Ravens Defense will eat up Gabbert, T-Sizzle, Reed, Lewis are going to harass all night. Reed get's at least 1 INT
- The Raven's loss to the Titans was coming after a HUGE win against the STEELERS, they did not come to play
- Now that the Ravens are in good position, they will bring it - ED REED needs a ring!!
Only way the Jags keep this close is if their offense plays perfectly with MJD getting several touches and the Ravens offense playing like garbage - I see this as an unlikely scenario. The Ravens give another performance like vs Steelers/Jets
