The Review-Journal’s Todd Dewey, handicapper Kelly Stewart (@KellyInVegas) and Wynn sports book director Johnny Avello preview the Ravens’ season in the seventh of a series of 32 NFL team videos in 32 days.
The Ravens finished 8-8 last season, 7-9 against the spread and went under in nine of their 16 games.
Baltimore is led by quarterback Joe Flacco and added wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and running back Danny Woodhead to an offense that returns wideouts Mike Wallace and Breshad Perriman.
The Ravens were ninth in scoring defense (20.1 ppg) last season and return six-time Pro Bowl linebacker Terrell Suggs, still plugging away at age 34.
Baltimore has had only one losing record in the last 10 years, its 2017 season win total is 8.5 and its plus-145 to make the playoffs.
