Week 9 in the NFL kicks off with the Baltimore Ravens (2-5) traveling to South Beach for a game against the Miami Dolphins (2-6). Each won in convincing fashion a week ago but more W’s are needed if these teams are to truly compete for a playoff berth.
Miami’s 34-10 smackdown of Atlanta on Sunday did little to quiet the “Fire Mike McDaniel” chants, but it was a step in the right direction for the embattled coach and his team. With home games upcoming against Buffalo and Washington before the bye, Miami can get back in the race but not without a win Thursday against Baltimore.
The Ravens’ season is on life support thanks to a 30-16 win last weekend over the Bears. Couple the win with the fact everyone else in the AFC North lost last weekend and the Ravens are back within two games of first in the AFC North. That said, their fortunes are completely tied to the hamstring of their All-Pro signal-caller, Lamar Jackson. After missing the last three games with a hamstring injury, the MVP is said to be a game-time decision for Thursday night. Tyler Huntley and co. proved they could win last weekend but to rely on the veteran backup for too long is not a recipe for making up ground in the division and ultimately earning a playoff spot.
Lets dive into this Week 9 matchup and see if we can find an advantage or two.
