Prediction

This is a very challenging game to predict. In the record predicting article before the season began, this is where I saw the Denver Broncos suffering their first loss of the season. And all the elements lead to it. East coast game, early start time, and the history against the Baltimore Ravens.

Denver has had little success against the Baltimore Ravens on the road. Their only win was the last time they were in Baltimore, a 34-17 win in Week 15 of the 2012 season. Can the Denver Broncos make it two wins in a row?

But there is something that Denver has going for themselves. That is their recent success against the Ravens. They have won three of the last four meetings. And they have a really good chance at evening the series all time on Sunday.

The key will be for Case Keenum to protect the football. Von Miller will need to pressure Joe Flacco and the defense needs to stop the run. And hopefully they can cover better in the passing game.

I see this being a low scoring defensive game. Look for Brandon McManus and Justin Tucker to be relied on quite a bit. In just the slimmest of margins, the Broncos pull away.
