Baltimore Ravens vs Denver Broncos Prediction 

Baltimore comes into this matchup after picking up a loss last week against Cleveland, but they will be back at home for this game. The Ravens have a very strong offensive attack on the ground and through the air, but their defense has some holes. Baltimore has allowed at least 29 points in three of their last four games and they will face a Denver offense that is improving. The Broncos have won four of their last five games and they have scored 28+ points in three of their last four. I think Denver can keep this game close against this questionable Baltimore defense, so take the Broncos and the points.
