Rams 31, Ravens 23 “Can a decimated defense hold up better against Matthew Stafford than it did against Joe Burrow? Can Lamar Jackson return to save the day? The Ravens have too many big questions to answer as they cling to fading playoff hopes.”

Gregg Rosenthal
Rams 30, Ravens 24 “The return of many Ravens from the COVID-19 list will help, but it won’t fix their secondary. Baltimore's defensive collapse started early in the season, with Lamar Jackson’s struggles and subsequent injury taking attention away from the Ravens' biggest problem. They are now 30th in pass defense efficiency. Good offense will expose them, forcing a compromised Jackson (if he plays) to keep up in a shootout. The Ravens remain dangerous in this spot because they are the Ravens, but there is just too much going against them.”

Vinnie Iyer
Rams 27, Ravens 20 “The Rams should have seen what Joe Burrow and the Bengals' offense did under former Offensive Coordinator Zac Taylor and follow suit for Sean McVay, because getting Matthew Stafford to aggressively throw downfield to his wide receivers is second nature. … The Ravens' offense doesn't have much working beyond Mark Andrews at the moment and that won't cut it in a must-win game.”

Rams 28, Ravens 20 “This Ravens’ season that once looked so promising is now coming to a highly disappointing end.“
Mike Florio
Rams 30, Ravens 21 “Two years after the Ravens dismantled the Rams in L.A., the road team gets a little taste of revenge.”
Chris Simms
Rams 30, Ravens 20 “The Rams really got it going, as far as run game’s going, defense has got it figured out, special teams is there. Stafford’s the big question. … I’m going to go with the Rams and ride the hot hand and say they win the game convincingly.”
