The Baltimore Ravens narrowly fell to the Kansas City Chiefs in their season opener, and now they face another challenge against the Las Vegas Raiders. Quarterback Lamar Jackson's performance showed flashes of brilliance, though inconsistencies plagued the end of the game.
The Ravens' passing attack, poised to exploit the Raiders' average pass defense, will be pivotal, particularly with tight end Isaiah Likely stepping up significantly last week.
On the ground, Jackson's dual-threat ability pairs with newcomer Derrick Henry, while the Raiders’ run defense looks to recover from early mishaps. Despite losing Josh Jacobs, they’ll depend on Zamir White to bolster their rushing efforts.
Special teams play might prove critical, as both teams’ kickers look to regain their form. The Ravens, with a rest advantage and home-field support, are in a strong position. The prediction leans toward a Baltimore victory as they aim to bounce back decisively.
