Speaker 1 (00:00):
Of the Baltimore Ravens. Guys, let's talk about them. Let's
talk about the Baltimore Ravens as we break down the
twenty twenty five for Baltimore Ravens are projecting every win
and loss for their season, and I'll tell you, guys,
right now, this might be the one of the toughest
teams in football to predict. Yes, because two months ago, guys,
I had them pizzol in it as a thirteen win team.
(00:21):
Now a little bit less than that, not because of
who they are, but because of what other teams are
becoming aka the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think the Steelers steal
one late and that could be the difference between the
first round by and a road wild card matchup. With
that being said, guys, I think the ceiling for the
Baltimore Ravens the season is fifteen wins. They play a
lot of winnable games and most of their big AFC
(00:43):
matchups are on the road. So if Lamar Jackson shows
up in those environments, and if this defense keeps under twenty,
the sky is a limit for the Baltimore Ravens. But
the floor could be a ten win team, could be
a nine win team. If Lamar Jackson does not dominate,
the NFC team is like he has been, like he's
used to it. If they fall short and key road matchups,
(01:04):
this could be a long, frustrating season for Baltimore Ravens fans. So, guys,
let's dive into it week by week for the Baltimore
Ravens because Week one through four, guys, I classify this
as fighting their identity. Who are they going to be
in twenty twenty five? Are they going to be the
Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson show or are they going
to be the Lamar Jackson d D Hop Show? And
(01:26):
week one there's a power struggle. Who is going to
take centerfold? Is gonna be the receiving game, the passing game,
or is going to be the rushing game? And when
they try it took Buffalo. It is a tough way
to start the season because Josh Allen and the Buffalo
Bills make a statement the Buffalo Bills guys are here
to prove many many points this season and opening up
with the with the with the baltim with the Buffalo Bills.
(01:48):
If you're Baltimore rains standing is not fun because it
is a tough loss, a tough loss at Buffalo come
week one. But then week two they're at home taking
on a not so good Cleveland Browns team. This is
a now it's back week against the Cleveland teams, still
searching for their identity, and I think they go back
to what the well is and that's running the ball,
and they do beat the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Week number three.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
To play the Detroit Lions at home. Guys, Lamar Jackson
is like forty one to one versus NSC teams. He
just does not lose to NFC teams. And the prediction
listed let's go ahead and call us want to close
home win. I think they beat the Detroit Lions at home.
But then week four they travel to Arrowhead Stadium. They
(02:35):
traveled to arrowheads't even take on the Kansas City Chiefs
Arrowhead primetime. Patrick Maholmes. Early in the season, the Ravens
fall short, given them a loss. So, guys, for the
first four through the first four weeks, I had the
Ravens sitting out a two and two record, an up
and down start, but there's nothing to panic about. They
(02:58):
have losses to articually two of the best teams in
the NFL, and they have beaten arguably one of the
best teams in the NFL as well. Wins over the
division rivals as well, and NFC contenders keep their season
balanced right. But then Week five through ten, this is
when the heater starts. This is when they start to
get hot. This is when everybody's like, oh shit, here
(03:19):
they go. Because Week number five, Houston Texans come into town.
It seems like we have seen this battle more than not.
The Houston Texas take on the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar
Jackson out dual CJ. Stroud in a fun one to watch.
They win this game. Week six, LA Rams come into town.
Baltimore Ravens control the game. They physical a key wins
(03:40):
this game, and Lamar Jackson continues his dominance over the NFC,
giving them yet another win. Week seven perfectly time by
week after back to back home home wins, catapulting them
into yet another home game versus the Chicago Bears and
another physical matchup, and the Ravens grind this one out.
Derek Henry could run for buck fifty in this game.
(04:01):
Lookout Baby. And then week number nine, the dominance continues.
They travel down to Florida into Miami to take on
the Dolphins. A huge win on the road and a
statement has been made because they just might put seventy
or eighty points on the Miami Dolphins. It is going
to be ugly. It's going to be ugly early and
ugly often. And that momentum carries into Week ten when
(04:23):
they traveled to Minnesota to take on the Vikings and
Lamar Jackson shows out yet again and the Ravens continue
to roll. So through the first ten weeks of the
NFL season, Guys, the Baltimore Ravens are seven to two.
That's five straight wins. Out of the bye week. Lamar
Jackson is back in the MVP talks and the defense
is clamping down and the Baltimore and the Baltimore Ravens
(04:44):
are looking like the best team in the AFC. But
the road stretch just isn't quite over yet. They continue
to win because week number eleven, they do travel to Cleveland,
same story as Week two. The Baltimore Ravens roll the
Cleveland Browns yet again. In Week twelve, New York Football Jets,
the defense eats Baltimore. Ravens are hungry and they are
(05:07):
well fed. After this game, they dominate, dominate the New
York Football Jets. Heading into Week thirteen, Cincinnati Bengals coming
to town, and this is where.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
The NFC North gets real.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
But the Baltimore Ravens handle business yet again at home,
giving them yet another win. Da da da da bill
As y'all, they are rolling. They are the best team
in the NFL. But everything starts coming and crashing back
down to reality because in Week fourteen, they're back at
home take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in this trap game,
and the Pittsburgh Steelers pull off an upset with the
(05:42):
gritty defensive performance, shutting down Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry,
breaking that seven game, eight game winning streak two guys.
Through the first fourteen weeks of the season, they're sitting
at ten and three, still firmly.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
In the playoff pitcher.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Matter of fact, they're probably in first place in the
AFC at this particulars point, But that Steelers loss is
a gun punch, and there's one more road show showdown
looming that could shake up all the AFC seedings yet again.
And then Week fifteen, this is where things gart to
shake up. They travel to Cincinnati and this one flips.
The Cincinnati Bengals get the revenge of the late season
classic and the Bengals get the dubbed. Week sixteen, they're
(06:20):
back at home taking on the Patriots. Baltimore Ravens bounced
back in a dombinant home win over the Patriots, now
giving them the Week seventeen as the Packers might be frisky,
but the Baltimore defense depths or but the Baltimore's depth
shows in the late season and they get the dub
over the Rebay Packers and continues the dominance over the NFC.
But then Week eighteen, the Steelers sweep Baltimore. Rogers gets
(06:44):
Lamar Jackson yet again. It's a tough finish to the season.
But the end of season as a loss on the
road versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't know if you
got to show that something, however, but the Ravens guys
finish the season at twelve and five.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's a playoff team. This is a dangerous playoff team.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And if they can just win one or two one
of those road games, they'll be hosting in January, not traveling.
But guys, let me get down at the comments down below.
But what makes or breaks this year is simple as
low is Lamar Jackson versus the Buffalo Bills and the
Kansa Chiefs. If they can beat those two teams on
the road, this is the unomatic win. Now it's a
(07:26):
coin coin flip. If Lamar Jackson does not dominate in
those matchup and the defense slips up at all, this
team could easily be back to ten and seven range.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
So with let me ask you guys this question. Do
you guys trust Lamar Jackson and and this Ravens team
to win on the road this season? Or are the
Steelers and Bengals closing the gap in the AFC North? Guys,
hit the subscribe, but hit the like. But remember live
when through Friday npm East Coast time right here at
YouTube dot com. This is a live interactive show, so
comment down below your thoughts on the Ravens twenty twenty
(07:56):
five season. Alpha Rob says the Ravens will be twelve
and five. Henry won't have the season he had last season.
Why receivers are average, especially your guy d hot Buck.
He hop's not my guy.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
We broke up. We broke up. Old Man Rivers says
the Ravens will be fourteen and three. That's tough.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
That's a good season. That's a number one overall seeds.
I do believe James Franks says it's the Ravens Division.
All the other teams are just fighting for the second
place spot. I do concur with that. I would agree
with this one hundred percent and all members as the
Lions beat the Ravens. Old Man River, I understand you
are a Detroit Lions fan. I understand you want your
(08:43):
Lions to beat.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
The Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
But truth be told, Lamar Jackson is what is it
forty one or thirty one? In he has one loss
versus the NFAC ever one loss. He just does not
lose to the inn A SEE teams. If Lamar Jackson
was or if the Baltimore Eves were a NFC SEE team,
they would be consistently in the Super Bowl year after
(09:08):
year after year.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It is what it is. I see Laura's in the
chap pig skin flawr.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
You're doing well. Hope you're doing well. And James says,
no way in hell do the Steelers sweep the Ravens.
Didn't they sweep them last year? It's so honestly James.
It seems like everybody in the Ac North always seems
seems to split. I never seen a sweep, Like it's
(09:38):
very very rare that somebody sweeps in the in the
Ac the Sea North. But I think this year we
see something different.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
This year. I think that I have faith in the Steelers.
Come in.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Room thirty twenty two says Steeler sweep Baltimore like the
one guy who doesn't underestimate Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Come in.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I've been on the Pittsport Steelers train for way too long.
If you want to flash back the last season I said,
Pittsport' Seelers super Bowl. Baby, now started to back off
that come playoff time, like there'll probably be a one
and done whatever. But I have always had a soft
spot in my heart for the Steelers, and I don't
know why. I don't know why. All members says I agree.
Steelers do not sweep, sweet Sweet, we sweep the Ravens.
(10:24):
Y'all need to go to bed. It's happening, baby, it's happening.
But Derek is Derek is spitting facts, guys, Derek is
spitting facts. He says, the Ravens stay healthy. The sky
is a limit that is the big key is Ken
Derrick Henry be one hundred percent all see see long
(10:44):
he took a beating lash your last years. To be honest, love,
Lamar Jackson does have injury history. D hop is not
d hop that we used to know down in Houston
and uh uh uh and Arizona. Right, It's just it
is what it is, James says, just like you with
(11:06):
the Cowboys. Huh.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I did break up with the Cowboys. Do you see
the poster anywhere? No, not nothing but chief stuff now.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Assholes, assholes, James says, I hope the Lines beat every
AC North team, except, of course, my Browns. That would
help your browns a lot, James, That would help your
browns a lot,
Of the Baltimore Ravens. Guys, let's talk about them. Let's
