Week 13: Baltimore Ravens

One of the bigger questions in this match-up with the Ravens will be whether Joe Flacco or former Heisman Trophy winner, Lamar Jackson, is starting at quarterback for Baltimore?

It seems like Flacco will be the team’s starter going into the 2018 season, but if the Ravens aren’t in the AFC Playoff hunt by Week 13, we could be seeing the former Louisville star under center for the black and purple.

Fortunately for the Falcons, they match-up very well against Baltimore, even if Jackson ends up playing quarterback in this one. While they’ve definitely added some tough pieces to their usually-average offense, it’s not a unit Atlanta’s defense will have trouble shutting down.

At this point in the year, the Falcons will need every win they can get, which makes this match-up with Baltimore extremely important. If they can get off to a fast start and avoid making costly turnovers, I think they’ll emerge victorious in front of the home crowd.

Again, this is a under-the-radar, crucial game on Atlanta’s 2018 schedule, but they’ll find a way to pull it out.

Final Score:

Baltimore Ravens: 13, Atlanta Falcons (8-4): 24
