Baltimore Ravens Open As Considerable Favorites Over Seattle Seahawks
The Ravens are enjoying a modest three-game winning streak after successfully knocking off the Tennessee Titans in London, then beating Detroit at home and Arizona on the road. As Baltimore continues to make a statement to the rest of the NFC, it hopes to keep that momentum going with another win over an NFC opponent.
The Seahawks are still enjoying their come-from-behind win over the Cleveland Browns. After two straight games at home, they'll hit the road and travel to the east coast to M&T Bank Stadium.
It's a battle between two division leaders, but SI Sportsbook has Baltimore as a heavy favorite at +5.5, with a total of 42.5. The total seems low.
The Ravens have thrived under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken's offense and a resurgent Lamar Jackson - who is earning every dime of his shiny new five-year, $260 million deal with $135 million guaranteed.

From a betting standpoint, the total seems low considering Baltimore has posted totals of 31, 38 and 23 in its last three games. But the Ravens' defense can be stingy, at times, and Seattle's offense has a tendency to be streaky
The last time the two teams met, the Ravens walked out of then-Century Link Field with a 30-16 win back in 2019. It was Jackson's MVP season and he rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown while also putting up 143 passing yards.
The Ravens are now 17-1 against NFC teams with Jackson under center, and Baltimore hopes that trend continues with a win over the NFC West-leading Seahawks on Sunday.
