The Ravens (11-3) and 49ers (11-3) are set for a heavyweight showdown on Monday night in a Christmas evening extravaganza.

Despite being dominant for most of this season, Baltimore will enter the matchup as an almost touchdown underdog on the road.

During his Wednesday session with the media, the always talkative Roquan Smith said he’d take his team “10 out of 10 times — and 11 if you want to add one.”

Christian McCaffrey averages 116.8 rushing yards per game for San Francisco over his last four, while Deebo Samuel will also enter the contest on a hot streak.

Smith and Patrick Queen offer a dynamic and elite counter to what the 49ers like to do.

Smith enters the matchup with a team-high 142 total tackles (79 solo), 5 TFL, and 4 QBHs through the first 14 games of the season.

That stat makes Roquan Smith one of four defensive players in the league with at least 140 tackles, 3 TFLs, and 3 QBHs in 2023.
