Baltimore Ravens at Oakland Raiders Week 5 NFL Prediction
With both teams entering on skids and suffering injuries, it is very hard to sell the stock of either outfit against the spread or outright. The offenses of both teams remain a huge question mark and that is a popular presumption heading into this contest. However, the inquiries should not be made into the status of the Raiders or Ravens offenses. Instead, many should focus on their defenses which have been exposed in the previous two weeks.
Oakland lost by 27 points to the Washington Redskins in their first loss this season. Baltimore as mentioned gave up 26 points to the Steel City last week, after they surrendered 44 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the week prior in London. With both teams looking to resolve issues in their offensive operations, these results will provide blueprints to how they can do so. Let’s not forget the Raiders are without franchise quarterback Derek Carr until early November but they still have exceptional talent in their rolls. If a format is needed on how to get Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper loose, the Raiders should study tape from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Blake Bortles threw for four touchdowns and 244 passing yards against this defense. Oakland will utilize this material accordingly as defense has taken a back-seat to the offense dating back to last year. This one could end up being a shootout.
