Patriots 28, Ravens 23, “We’ve seen that Baltimore is vulnerable to the deep-pass, which is Drake Maye’s specialty. Normally I would not pick against Lamar Jackson for a prime time game at home. However, the Ravens haven’t been consistent this season and the Pats’ 10-game winning streak prior to last week does not seem like an accident.

Patriots 24, Ravens 21, “The Ravens played well against the Bengals. The Patriots aren’t the Bengals. New England’s defense is not the best, but it is still better than Cincinnati. “The Ravens’ offensive issues were still evident last week.”

Ravens 21, Patriots 17. “The Ravens were a Jekyll and Hyde team throughout the season. The Patriots are more experienced and talented, but the Ravens only play well when they’re up against it. They’ll be able to get above.500 if they can bring the energy of Sunday’s shutout in primetime.”

Patriots 27, Ravens 24, “Even though Lamar Jackson is back and his health seems to be improving each week, he still hasn’t performed at Drake Maye’s level in this season. The Patriots second-year quarterback is in the MVP discussion for a good reason. He is a good passer, a great scrambler, and a cool person under pressure. Maye and Patriots can put the game into a chokehold if the Ravens don’t get their rushing offense going on Sunday night.

Ravens 30, Patriots 24, “The Ravens have caught this rising power just in time. New England is without its best offensive guard (Will Campbell), and best run defense (Milton Williams). Lamar Jackson looks more agile, and Baltimore’s ground game has been revved up in the last two weeks. This week is for a classic “bully-ball” performance.”

Ravens 27, Patriots 23, “Since Week 11, when defensive lineman Milton Williams suffered a high ankle sprain, the Patriots highly ranked defense has given up an average of 133.3 rushing yards a game. Robert Spillane, the leading tackler in the NFL, is now wearing a walking shoe. Carlton Davis and Harold Landry have also been injured. “The Ravens are running the ball again with authority, and they will continue to do so to keep their playoff chances alive.”
