Commanders vs. Ravens: Our prediction

The Ravens (3-2) were strong on offense, ranked second in scoring with 29.4 points per game and led the league in rushing yards (211.2 per game) thanks to Lamar Jackson’s dual-threat skills and recent contributions from Derrick Henry.

However, their defense has struggled against the pass, allowing 280.2 yards per game, which is near the bottom in the league.

The Commanders (4-1) bring a balanced offensive approach, averaging 31 points per game and ranking second in rushing yards per game (178.4), just behind their rival.

Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has performed well, particularly on third downs, where Washington ranks first in the NFL with a 51.6% conversion rate.

Washington’s defense allowed 23 points per game, with a particular vulnerability to the run, allowing 130 rushing yards per game, allowing Baltimore’s strong ground game to take advantage. Derrick Henry playing touchdown at any time seems like a smart choice for this game

With these factors in mind, it could be a smart bet for Baltimore to win and take advantage of their offensive advantage on the ground. But the Commanders +6.5 would also be a good way to bet on this game given their recent performances.

The total number of points, which is around 51.5, could also be exceeded, considering the high number of points scored by both teams and the defensive weaknesses of both teams
