Are you ready for some football!? The Baltimore Ravens will look to extend their winning streak to seven-straight games against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12.
This is another big test for Baltimore as they look to continue their dominance over playoff-caliber teams. While Los Angeles hasn’t been great this season, they are fresh off a Super Bowl visit, so they’re certainly nothing to look down at. The Ravens will have to play great, consistent and efficient football to win this week.
Are the Rams finally the team to stop quarterback Lamar Jackson and Baltimore’s dominance? According to the writers here at Ravens Wire, not a chance. Check below to see everyone’s final score predictions for this Week 12 contest.
Matthew Stevens:
Ravens 38 – Rams 17
Man, I’m confident in this team. They have the best offense in the league and since Week 7, the best defense as well. They’re scoring points seemingly at will on both sides of the football and have been beating up playoff-caliber teams for the last few weeks. And I think the Ravens continue to do that same exact thing in front of a national audience this week as they destroy the Rams.
No team has been able to contain Lamar Jackson. It’s just been varying degrees of selling out to even attempt it and what that opens up elsewhere. If Los Angeles does what every other team this season has done and keeps their eyes in the backfield worrying about Jackson, I expect Baltimore to put up points early. From there, the Rams don’t have the offense or quarterback to play from behind and they’ll make more mistakes that compound in a lopsided loss.
Neil Dutton:
Ravens 24 – Rams 13
The Rams have held running backs in check for the majority of the season. But they won’t be able to stop the best running quarterback in the NFL in Lamar Jackson. Los Angeles will attempt time lean on running back Todd Gurley, but will come up short in the red zone time and again.
Kevin Oestreicher:
Ravens 34 – Rams 24
The Ravens have shown that they can beat good teams by a wide margin and I don’t expect that to change. However, I do think this game is closer than everyone has gotten used to due to Aaron Donald and the Rams front four. Still, I think Lamar Jackson and this Ravens offense can put up a good amount of points, and I don’t think the Rams offense can keep up.
Wola Odeniran:
Ravens 29 – Rams 16
There’s a lot of talk from Los Angeles Rams players and fans on how the Rams will slow down the Ravens’ offense. Baltimore averages over 34 points a game, which is almost four points more on average than the second-highest scoring team.
It’s easy to watch TV and film and say what the Ravens are doing is simple. It isn’t and quarterback Lamar Jackson has shown that every week this season. I expect more of the same this week.
