"Dominate" is a verb. "Dominant" is an adjective. But you were so close.

Offense: Cook Defense: Spector The Ravens have excellent run defense numbers, but they've faced the Cowboys, who suck at running it, the Chiefs, who prefer to pass it, and the Raiders, who they lost to. Teams haven't really tried running on them much. I think the Bills get Cook going both in the passing game and the running game and show that the Ravens can be run on. Lamar Jackson only throws the ball in the middle of the field, so the linebackers and safeties are critical. Spector makes some splash plays.

He is on IR with a core muscle injury.

Exactly.

His arm must be so weak. Every time he throws it more than 15 yards down the field it looks like a fly ball in baseball.

You gotta do what you gotta do when you have such a limited QB.

It's not MY superstition. I'm not part of that club.

These teams are both so fundamentally unsound! Stop breaking the rules so they don't have to throw so many flags!

Nothing and nobody is ever more than about 68% accurate at predicting games at the high end (over a long period of time). So, any prediction is going to be well below any statistical significance.

Boring game. Plus it is a flag fest...

The ball hit the ground 5 yards from the defender. Who cares? I still think it was weak even considering that.

Weak taunting penalty. The NFL needs to loosen up on that rule.

What's McCarthy waiting for? He should be on that.

Maybe both.

Whoa! Daboll has lost some weight!

Daboll took play calling away from the OC, apparently. He'll be calling the game tonight. I expect Daniel Jones to run the ball a LOT.

I think he always picks against Buffalo as a superstition. Reverse psychology 😉

What makes the offense good is the ability to adjust. If the defense is taking away deep passes, they can nickel and dime you, and they actually have running backs who can be dangerous checking the ball down to. If the defense drops into zone to defend passing lanes, the Bills have the offensive line and running backs to gash them in the run game. And then Josh Allen can still make things happen when everything breaks down. The one question is if the Bills have the receivers who can get deep and stretch the defense vertically effectively and consistently. We haven't really needed to do that much, yet. But, if there is one thing to sacrifice, this is probably it because chucking it deep is lower percentage anyway. Hopefully Keon Coleman and MVS can be effective at that, though.

Bills - 35 Ravens - 20

Hey, I think they are probably better at football than the Arabs as well. Arabs aren't known for their football prowess.

He just isn't that good anymore.

He looks pretty good. I expressed some doubts in the offseason about his versatility and his hesitant running style sometimes, but he is proving to be a really good weapon for the offense. Just stop dropping TD passes...

"Great. Even formerly dead players are intercepting our QB now."
