Detroit Lions Preview
The Lions are aiming to extend their four-game winning streak with this matchup. Their previous success was a 20-6 performance over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road, which showed the Lions being consistent in each quarter with scoring opportunities.
They have been handling teams with ease every game to start their win streak. They have defeated their last four opponents by double digits and have shown exceptional play on both sides of the ball. However, continuing this momentum is necessary for success.
They are currently on top of the NFC North by how well they are playing. They have shown great leadership on both offensive and defensive lines, as they average 28.0 points per game and allow 18.8. You could argue that there is always room for improvement on defense, but they are in a good place.
Quarterback Jared Goff (11 TD, 3 INT) is showing why they are dominant on offense. He has 1,618 yards and carries a QBR of 73.3, which ranks fourth in the league. Look for him to have a big game if they want to succeed.
Baltimore Ravens Preview
The Ravens have gone 2-2 in the last four matchups, but were able to find success in their previous game. This was a 24-16 performance over the Tennessee Titans in their International Series matchup in London, England.
In both of their defeats this year, they have kept it within seven points or less. These matchups were against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts. Their stout defense has made game’s interesting, but their offense will need to improve if they want to flourish.
They have climbed to the top spot in the AFC North and will need to do their best to stay on top. This is a tightly contested division, so one loss could mean you end up at the bottom. They are doing a great job, as they are averaging 22.2 and allowing 15.2 points per contest.
The Ravens need QB Lamar Jackson (5 TD, INT) to be more dominant on the field. Despite having 1,253 yards and a QBR of 56.3 (13th-best in league), he has too many interceptions compared to the number of touchdowns. Separating those two would likely give them better opportunities to win.
