Baltimore Ravens vs Washington Commanders Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup on nice winning streaks, but one team will have that streak snapped here. Washington has looked great offensively over the last three weeks, scoring 38, 42, and 34 points, while Baltimore has scored 41, 35, and 28 in that same span. The Ravens have defeated Cincinnati, Buffalo, and Dallas during their winning streak and I think they will continue to roll here. I think the Jackson/Henry combo is going to be way too much for this Commanders’ defense, and while I do like what I have seen from Daniels so far this season, I think Lamar will make a few more plays. Take Baltimore to win by a touchdown.
