Ravens Patriots

Week 3 sees two of the AFC’s big boys face off once again. For the last 20 years, these two sides have been benchmarks for many in the NFL and, as such, have many famous matchups to show for it. Will 2022 bring us another classic?

The boys in Purple and Black suffered some terrible injury luck in 2021, with starting running backs, cornerbacks, and linemen all being ruled out early on. Superstar Quarterback Lamar Jackson also spent much of the year on the injury table. Entering Week 3, the Ravens will need all of their stars at their disposal if they are to take down their old AFC rivals, the Patriots

New England seems to be starting a new era in Massachusetts. With the Tom Brady rein firmly in the history books, they will hope year 2 for Mac Jones will mark the change from promising rookie to genuine star signal caller. They have lost offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels however, so it remains to be seen if they can scheme their way through a stout Baltimore defensive unit.

Baltimore Ravens vs New England Patriots has produced several classic games, from 2014’s 14-point comeback for New England to the 2019 Sunday Night beatdown for Baltimore, as well as multiple AFC Championship Games. There is a rich history of to-and-fro contests here. There is mutual respect between the sides, but no love lost once they are out on the field.

In terms of betting on NFL games, who will be favorites in Ravens vs Patriots? New England will likely have a slight edge being at home, and if they can deliver offensively, they should be true to that billing. However, Baltimore has Lamar under center, so anything can happen. Look for the Patriots to win in a tight game, decided by a field goal or less. Be sure to check out the NFL odds for this game
