opener Authentic Mark Andrews Jersey , the Ravens offense missed the mark in Week 2. Joe Flacco and company could not get much going, especially in the first half. The offensive line struggled in both run and pass blocking. Like Cincinnati, the Denver Broncos will also present a challenge. Led by Von Miller and Bradley Chubb, the Broncos field a stout defensive front and talented pass-rush. They’re not short on offensive weapons, either. Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas will test the Ravens secondary, which was just shredded by A.J. Green and Tyler Boyd. Undrafted rookie Phillip Lindsay has emerged as a playmaker out of the backfield. Week 3 could prove to be a crucial matchup as the Ravens look to keep pace in the AFC North. How will the team respond? Offensive Stat Predictions: Joe Flacco - 24/39, 61.5% comp, 265 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT Flacco is looking to get back on track after a poor showing against the Bengals. For most of the night, he was inaccurate and shaky. Many expected Flacco to build upon his near-perfect performance in Week 1, and it was discouraging to see him struggle. The Broncos are not exactly a friendly matchup. Von Miller and Bradley Chubb should make things difficult on Flacco,. How he responds to pressure could ultimately determine the outcome of the game. Look for Flacco to put up a decent, but not spectacular stat line. It will be interesting to see if Flacco can throw for multiple touchdowns for a third consecutive game, a feat he has not accomplished since 2016. Alex Collins - 13 rushes, 53 yards, 4.07 YPA / 2 receptions, 16 yards Collins missed practice on Wednesday due to illness, but he should be ready to roll come Sunday. Collins has just 48 rushing yards and an average of 3.0 YPC through two games this season. These numbers are poor, but they do not tell the whole story. Game flow has not worked in his favor. Against the Bills, the game was decided early. In Week 2, the Ravens largely abandoned the run game after falling behind early. Collins tends to play better with more carries Authentic Maurice Canady Jersey , and he has only 16 this season. The Ravens undoubtedly would like to establish the running game, and the matchup against Denver figures to be competitive. Therefore, Collins should have a more successful showing in Week 3. Javorius Allen - 6 rushes, 20 yards, 3.3 YPA / 4 receptions, 30 yards Collins’ struggles can also be somewhat attributed to the presence of Buck Allen. Allen has surprisingly seen roughly half of the snaps out of the backfield this season and is receiving a lot of goal line oppurtinites. Other than scoring two touchdowns, Allen hasn’t made much of an impact as a rusher. However, Allen leads all Ravens with 10 catches through two games and ranks fourth in targets. Flacco will likely be under pressure often on Sunday and will have to get the ball out quickly, setting up Buck for another productive pass-catching day out of the backfield. Michael Crabtree - 4 catches, 58 yards, 14.5 YPC, 1 TDAlthough he has not made many big plays downfield, Crabtree has been a steady presence on offense this season. He has been targeted 16 times, which leads all Ravens, and has eight receptions. 94 yards through two games is nothing to write home about, but that total would be higher if not for a few dropped passes. The Broncos primary outside corner, Bradley Roby, stands at just 5’11. Crabtree should be able to use his size advantage to catch a touchdown and continue to make plays on intermediate routes. John Brown - 4 catches, 68 yards, 17.0 YPC, 1 TD Brown has gotten off to fast start this season, leading the team with 136 receiving yards. He has made several impressive plays http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-john-brown-jersey , including a contested touchdown reception in the fourth quarter against the Bengals. It was his second touchdown catch of the season, which also leads all receivers. He could have three, but he dropped an end zone pass that was thrown slightly behind him in Week 2. Flacco has looked John Brown’s way often through two weeks, and he as delivered. Another productive outing should be in store against the Broncos in Week 3. Willie Snead IV - 3 catches, 32 yards, 10.6 YPC Snead quietly ranks second on the team in both catches and receiving yards this season. Operating out of the slot, Snead has been effective creating yards after the catch.The Broncos, however, have arguably the best slot cornerback in the league in Chris Harris Jr. Harris will prove to be a tough matchup for Snead, and it is difficult to envision a scenario in which Willie gets the best of him. He should remain involved, but with a tough matchup, Snead will be largely kept in check. Mark Andrews - 3 catches, 30 yards, 10.0 YPC Andrews caught his first career touchdown last week, and has six catches on the season. He should be able to make some plays in the middle of the field against a Broncos defense that struggles to defend opposing tight ends. Nick Boyle, Maxx Williams - 4 catches, 31 yards (combined) The Ravens have utilized all three tight ends in the passing game this season. Boyle and Williams should be involved, albeit to a lesser extent than Andrews. Defensive Stat Predictions:Tackles - Kenny Young (9) Young will step into a starting spot with C.J. Mosley out. He stepped up in that role last week, ranking second on the team with eight tackles. The Ravens will need him to be productive to slow down Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. Sacks - Terrell Suggs (1), Tim Williams (1)The Ravens failed to record a sack against the Bengals and the pass-rush as a whole was largely ineffective. Terrell Suggs and company will be motivated to flip the script on Sunday. Denver’s offensive line isn’t great, and the Ravens should be able to find some success pressuring Case Keenum. Interceptions - Marlon Humphrey (1) Case Keenum has already thrown four picks this season, tied with Matthew Stafford for most in the league. Baltimore should be able to force him into at least one mistake. Look for Marlon Humphrey to make a big play and record his first interception of the season.Final 2018 season prediction for the Baltimore Ravens The preseason is officially over Tavon Young Jersey , and the 2018 NFL season is merely two days away. Below is my final 2018 prediction for the Baltimore Ravens.Week 1: Buffalo BillsThe Bills announced Nathan Peterman as their starting quarterback for Week 1, which should bode well for Baltimore. Buffalo’s offensive line will be among the worst in the league, while their receiving corps is far from serviceable. Ravens 24 - Bills 7Record: 1-0Week 2: @ Cincinnati BengalsThe Bengals offensive line should be much improved from a year ago, but there are still questions on the right side. Their defense will have several new pieces, including rookie safety Jessie Bates III. Like most AFC North divisional games, this will be a defensive slugfest. Ravens 17 - Bengals 9Record: 2-0Week 3: Denver BroncosThe Broncos’ biggest splash in free agency was signing quarterback Case Keenum, but they lost their No. 1 cornerback, Aqib Talib. Denver could be a wild-card team, or they could be picking in the top 10 again. The Broncos have plenty of offensive firepower, and the addition of Bradley Chubb could make their defense a top ten unit.Ravens 16 - Denver 21Record: 2-1Week 4: @ Pittsburgh SteelersThe Steelers are projected to win the AFC North, and there is little reason to doubt that. They have the best offense in the division paired with an above-average defense. They improved their secondary with the addition of Morgan Burnett, but their biggest question will be at linebacker. Regardless, Pittsburgh will win the first of two matchups with the RavensRavens 21 - Pittsburgh 27Record: 2-2Week 5: @ BrownsWith essentially unlimited cap space and draft capital, Cleveland found a way to acquire Jarvis Landry, Carlos Hyde, Chris Hubbard, Damarious Randall, Tyrod Taylor, and Donald Stephenson among others. This will not be the same Browns team of years past. Baltimore has had some trouble when facing Cleveland on the road, and this smells like an early upset. Ravens 17 - Cleveland 21Record: 2-3Week 6: @ Tennessee TitansThe Titans offense should be much improved from a year ago under new offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur. With a better offensive line, Marcus Mariota will have a bounce-back season. Tight ends gave Baltimore issues last season, and that trend may continue in 2018. Delanie Walker will have a field day as Tennessee comes away with the victory.Ravens 10 - Titans 20Record: 2-4Week 7: New Orleans SaintsThis will be a revenge game for Benjamin Watson and Willie Snead. Watson was a vital part of Baltimore’s offense a year ago Terrell Suggs Jersey , and he could have a big day against his former team. The Saints appear to be on track to win their division and contend for a Super Bowl. Ravens 17 - Saints 34Record: 2-5Week 8: @ Carolina PanthersThe Panthers traded for Torrey Smith and signed Jairus Wright, while also acquiring Dontari Poe. They drafted former Maryland Terrapin D.J. Moore to bolster their receiving corps. Carolina’s defense will be a top-10 unit, and the Ravens’ offense will fail to make much noise. Ravens 10 - Panthers 31Record: 2-6Week 9: Pittsburgh SteelersBaltimore’s losing streak will come to an end with a matchup against their rivals. These games are usually close regardless of records, but the Ravens will have the advantage this time around.Ravens 28- Steelers 17Record: 3-6Week 10: ByeRecord: 3-6Week 11: Cincinnati BengalsThe Ravens have been excellent coming off of their bye week in the John Harbaugh era. This year will be no different as they will dismantle the weak Cincinnati Bengals at home. Ravens 27 - Bengals 3Record: 4-6Week 12: Oakland RaidersThe Jon Gruden led Raiders have a lot of questions to answer this season, especially after trading Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears. Oakland will not have the fairy tale season many are predicting.Ravens 27 - Raiders 17Record: 5-6Week 13: @ Atlanta FalconsDespite making the playoffs, Atlanta’s offense had a disappointing 2017 season after an impressive showing in 2016. The Falcons lost Taylor Gabriel and Dontari Poe this offseason, yet signed Justin Bethel. The addition of Calvin Ridley will boost their offense, and they will contend for a division title in a tough NFC South.Ravens 24 - Atlanta 42Record: 5-7Week 14: @ Kansas City ChiefsThe Chiefs acquired Kendall Fuller, Sammy Watkins, and Anthony Hitchens among others this offseason, but their most significant loss was quarterback Alex Smith. With Patrick Mahomes set to be the starter, Kansas City will struggle. Ravens 27 - Chiefs 13Record: 6-7Week 15: Tampa Bay BuccaneersFormer Raven Ryan Jensen will return to Baltimore, but it will not bode well for his new team. Tampa Bay had an interesting offseason as they bolstered their defensive line by adding Jason Pierre-Paul and Beau Allen, but with uncertainty at the quarterback position, they will have another forgettable season.Ravens 21 - Tampa Bay 10Record: 7-7Week 16: @ Los Angeles ChargersThe Chargers were the best team that did not make the playoffs last year. They finished the 2017 season red-hot after starting out 0-4. Los Angeles has a dominant pass-rush that will undoubtedly test Baltimore’s new offensive line. The Chargers are Super Bowl contenders, while the Ravens may be a year or two away. Ravens 13 - Chargers 31Record: 7-8Week 17: Cleveland BrownsDepending on the rest of the AFC, this game may not mean much for the Ravens. At 7-8, Baltimore could conceivably still be in the playoff hunt. After losing their first matchup, the Ravens will be looking for revenge. The Browns have significantly improved this offseason, but sweeping Baltimore seems a little unrealistic.Ravens 13 - Browns 7Final record: 8-8
