Predicting each AFC North team's record for the 2019 NFL season

#3 Baltimore Ravens: 9-7

Lamar Jackson

Speaking of dynamic offenses, the Ravens seem to have a lot of firepower at their disposal, too. Lamar Jackson is going to be a very intriguing quarterback to watch this season, as he surprised the entire league by coming in for Joe Flacco, and leading his team into the postseason as a rookie.

Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown is a straight up burner who's got the ability to score with every touch or catch that comes his way. I expect Baltimore to be a very 'old school' smash-mouth football team with newcomer Mark Ingram leading the way. They're going to run the ball down opponents' throats, and then air it out when you least expect it.

My concerns, however, aren't with this Ravens offense. It's their defense that has me worried a little. Loosing Terrell Suggs (Cardinals), C.J. Mosley (Jets), and Za'Darius Smith (Packers), in free agency is more significant than you think, as all three backers helped to generate a solid portion of the Ravens' pass rush last season.

The Ravens are a great team with a lot of promising talent, but Baker Mayfield is better than Lamar Jackson as of right now, and the Browns just have a more complete team. Seeing as how the Ravens lost three quality defensive starters in free agency and are still trying to figure out what they have in Lamar Jackson, I'd say 9 wins is more than adequate for them in 2019.
