The Seahawks have nearly as good a record, at 5-2, as the Ravens. But their opponents are no better than those faced by the Ravens and might be a touch worse. And, it's in Baltimore and conditions are liable to be worse than what the Seahawks often play in, I suspect. If it stays as cold as it has been lately.
What say you?

I think they should win, but one never knows with this team.

I would expect a win.

I don't expect a duplicate result from the Lions game but I do expect to win.
Plus west coast teams coming east and playing at 1 PM EST is a big disadvantage.
I'll go Ravens 27 - Seahawks 18

Steelers got away with another one last night. I didn't stay up for the end, but the Titans bailed them out several times.
They're not very good but they also aren't going away any time soon and seem like one of those teams that will get better as the season progresses.

If this is a game where they see the opponent as tougher they may prepare better than they did against the Colts and Steelers, the two losses both harder to explain than would have been a loss to the Lions (for example). Conditions favor the Ravens and so do the oddsmakers. The next three seem like winnable games, all of them, but I predict one will be a loss that has fans scratching their heads in puzzlement at how they could play so badly that week.

This was not the week [for an inexplicable loss]. They were in the driver's seat the whole game. OBJ gets a touchdown on his birthday and that rookie RB looked good today. Ronnie Stanley getting beaten by a guy who sacked Jackson was a bad look for him.

That was really impressive. Coulda been 50 on the board if not for the fumbles.
I expect them to obliterate the Browns next week, who are not as good as their record.

And you should be. But those Pittsburgh and colt loses still haunt me. Should doesn't always mean will with this team. I need two more weeks of really good execution before I can fully get on board. Here is to them converting me. Cheers!

Excellent win. Team is firing on all cylinders. Just have to keep it going. Cleveland has a good defense so it’ll be interesting to see what the offense can do against them. With such a competitive division these divisional games are very important.

Ravens defense rocked Cleveland in week 4 and they're significantly better now. Time to knock them down a notch again.

Ravens defense rocked Cleveland in week 4 and they're significantly better now. Time to knock them down a notch again. Agreed, but they had a rookie QB making his first start. I don't think Watson is very good but he's better than whoever it was who started against us last game.

With such a competitive division these divisional games are very important. They do have a good defense, but Seattle has a pretty good one too and were powerless to stop them after the first quarter. I think the Browns are a notch above them, but I still don't think they'll keep the Ravens under 27 pts or so, and I don't see them scoring more than 14. Romo was saying the Ravens have like 8 ways or so to beat you on offense, and it's nearly impossible to figure out which way they are going to attack now. I think though in this game, turnovers are going to be the story. I have a strong suspicion the Ravens are going to be all over Watson and he's going to have 3 or more, and the rout will be on.

Well we did hang 28 on them in Cleveland earlier but they turned the ball over 3 times and Ravens had less than 300 total yards. I agree re: Watson vs our defense. It could be a long day for them. It would be nice to have another rout to enjoy at home. They're fun to attend.

I wonder if Watson's shoulder will start acting up in practice this week with a real team looming?

All this mockery of poor DeShaun Watson... ... is so deserved and appropriate! I'd like more, please!

Not sure why people are just realizing this as it was pretty obvious when signed that it would probably be the worst deal in history.
Note to desperate GMs: be wary of a QB that puts up career numbers on a team that wins 4 games.

A deal right out of the Peter Angelos bidding against himself to sign Chris Davis playbook, it also made other teams' signings of their quarterbacks more difficult. I'd feel a little sorry for the Browns, but Haslam is a terrible human being who cheated his own customers, so he's due any misfortune that flows his way! They're always going to be the Little Engine that Couldn't, I believe.

I really wanna pummel the Browns this week. They're feeling good about themselves, Watson is back. Time to drop a deuce in their punchbowl.
