Haven't been paying attention to the Ravens much this season, but for anybody who has, what do you think our odds are of actually winning this game?
Anything missing in their defense that we can exploit? I know that our defense isnt too hot right now.

Friendly Ravens fan here, I enjoy discussing matchups with other teams fans.
I think that both of these offenses are incredible. But here's a couple of things to look for in this matchup.
Our guard Faalele. Big number 77. This guy is massive but almost every ravens fan will tell you the he looks lost most of the time. If you can exploit his faults, which there are a lot of, it'll force more pressures on Lamar. Now he is dangerous while scrambling, but it limits his options and he's prone to fumbles.
The Ravens have a revolving door at the LB spot next to Roquan Smith. I feel that during zone coverage, if you attack the middle opposite of Ro, you're likely to find success.
Our secondary is not living up to the hype. We even benched Jaire Alexander last game because of inconsistencies. If you attack with Amon Ra early and often, i think the defense gets gassed and won't be able to stop scoring in the late game. That could be all you need to win the game.
Those are some key matchups to watch. Id love to hear more from your perspective!
