Baltimore Ravens Preview

The Ravens have been successful in their last four games as they approach this matchup. Their most recent triumph was a 23-7 performance over the Jacksonville Jaguars, where they had a strong 13-point unanswered fourth quarter to close out the game.

They are currently on top of the AFC North and are two games ahead of the Cleveland Browns. They must continue winning games in order to close out the regular season strong and to remain on top.

The Ravens have excelled this year on offense, as they rank fourth in the league with 27.4 points per game. Their defense is even better, as they are the best at slowing teams down to 16.1 points per game. They will be tough to beat down the stretch if their defense continues to hold strong.

Lamar Jackson (17 TD, 7 INT) has had a good season with the Ravens and has an opportunity to prove himself even more. He currently has 3,105 total yards, along with a pass completion rate of 66.3 and a QBR of 60.9 that ranks eighth in the league. 

San Francisco 49ers Preview

The last time that the 49ers suffered a defeat was around Halloween, as they have won their last six games. Their most recent win was a 45-29 outing over the Arizona Cardinals, where the 49ers scored at least 10 points or more in three different quarters.

They have a solid lead in the NFC West, which they will likely finish out strong for the regular season. With the second place Los Angeles Rams barely above .500, the 49ers should have no issues in keeping the division lead.

The 49ers are having an excellent season, as they have cracked the top three on both sides of the football. They currently rank third in points per game with 30.4. On defense, they rank second behind the Ravens in allowing 16.7 points per game.

Brock Purdy (29 TD, 7 INT)  is having an MVP-caliber season, ranking first in total touchdowns and second overall in total yards at 3,795. He also has a pass completion rate at 69.8 and ranks first in the league with a QBR of 76.0.
