Baltimore vs Denver Game Preview
Why Baltimore Will Win
It’s the NFL so there’s no such thing as a soft 3-0, but …
Giants, Jaguars, Jets. Between the three of them you have as many wins this season as they do.
To Denver’s credit, it did what you’re supposed to against three bad teams and put them away with easy. However, it hasn’t seen anything like it’s about to get with the Baltimore offense.
There’s a passing game this year. Lamar Jackson has become every bit as fun – okay, almost – throwing the ball as he is when he takes off.

What’s Going To Happen
The Baltimore style of play is going to be a problem.
The Raven defense will keep the Bronco running game from doing anything interesting. Denver will move the ball enough to get field goals, but it’ll stall too often – it won’t be able to take control of the game when it gets the chance.
For the first time all year, Denver will have to make a slew of big offensive plays late in the second half, and it won’t be able to.
