Ravens vs Rams Prediction
Baltimore comes into this matchup looking to bounce back from last week’s disaster, but it sounds like Lamar is still out with an injury. The Ravens have lost three games in a row and they have allowed 37, 38, and 44 points in those three losses. Los Angeles has lost two of their last three, but they should have defeated the Eagles a few weeks back. I am definitely worried about the early kick for the Rams, but I can’t back this Baltimore team with how they are playing. I do think we will see plenty of points in this contest, so I am going with the over here.
