Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens were the best team in the AFC during the 2019 regular season. They finished the year with a 14-2 record, but ended their season in disappointing fashion with a loss to the Titans in their first playoff game. To start the 2020 season, they have a matchup against the division rival Cleveland Browns.
If we were going based off of last season, the Ravens would have an easy road to victory over the Browns. However, things have changed for Cleveland.
After a disappointing season in 2019, the Browns chose to fire head coach Freddie Kitchens and replace him with Kevin Stefanski. He is the former offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings and many believe that he will help Baker Mayfield and the offense get back on track.
As for the Ravens, they are going to need to answer a few questions to start this season. Earl Thomas is no longer in town after some drama during training camp and the defense needs to prove that they can replace his production. Offensively, Jackson and company need to prove that they have enough firepower.
All of that being said, here are three bold predictions for the Ravens in their Week 1 matchup against the Browns.
