Giana Han Rams 35, Ravens 17. “Cooper Rush could have knocked off some rust by playing in a game following a four-week absence. The Ravens may find the end zone multiple times. Rush’s or anyone else’s improvement won’t be enough for Sean McVay to slow down the Rams. “It would take a miraculous improvement in health and magically acquired experience for Ravens rookies to stay up with this one.” Paul Mancano Rams 35, Ravens 17. “If the lowly Texans are able to score 44 points against this defense, Matthew Stafford, and Sean McVay, should break records Sunday.” Alohi Gilman, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, if he is elevated to the secondary, will join a secondary that’s in chaos. The departure of Odafe Oweh as an outside linebacker will only make their problems with opposing quarterbacks worse. Baltimore may be in for an extended bye week. Jonas Shaffer Rams 31, Ravens 14. “The Rams were involved in a shootout when they last came to Baltimore. They lost 37-31 after overtime 2023. The fireworks this year will likely be one-sided. Rams star Puka Ncua, who had 170 receiving yards two weeks ago, could surpass that total Sunday due to the poor state of Ravens’ defensive. … A rainy afternoon may level the playing fields, but it is unlikely. “This is going to be a long and painful game for Ravens’ fans.” Childs Walker Rams 31, Ravens 20, “A Ravens team that has just suffered a humiliating loss to the Texans on Sunday would be proud of their performance. Good news: They will likely get some key players back, to go along with the new safety they acquired via free agency and trade. “The bad news is that we have seen no indications of Lamar Jackson being one of the returning stars. The Rams are well-armed with Matthew Stafford and Puka Ncua to take advantage the Ravens’ numerous defensive failings.” Brandon Weigel Rams 28, Ravens 17, “As I walked from M&T Bank Stadium at the end of the Houston Texans’ shellacking on Sunday, I wondered “Will this defense have any answers for Puka Ncua?”. The Rams’ receiver could be the first NFL player to reach 2,000 receiving yardage in a single season and there is nothing to suggest that the Ravens can knock him off his pace.” Kyle Goon Rams 34, Ravens 17, “Am I saying that there is a chance?” Sure. I don’t. You can’t rely on a Ravens defense that is inexperienced and beaten up against Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay who are capable of running circles around the secondary when they have Puka Nacua. You can’t rely on an offense that lacks sync, and is likely to be without Lamar Jackson. It’s hard to imagine the Ravens turning the tide before the bye.
