The Ravens Clinched a spot in the 2019 playoffs by beating the Bills in Buffalo last week.  But, with the season we are having just making the playoffs is not good enough.  The Ravens are currently sitting on top of the AFC with the number one seed position and we want to keep it that way.  Home field advantage throughout the playoffs is what we want.  So, there’s lots more work to be done and it starts with beating the Jets on Thursday night in Baltimore.

Here’s what could happen this week.  The Ravens beat the Jets we win the AFC North championship.  If the Chiefs and Patriots lose we clinch the number one seed and the coveted home field advantage.

We need to look forward but looking back at last week the Ravens handled another top five defense on the road.  The game wasn’t flashy and not much on the highlight reel but a win is a win, making it nine in a row.

It’s a short week and we need to move on to the Jets who we play on Thursday night.  You can tell it’s late in the season, players are getting nicked up, and the injury report is getting longer.  Lamar Jackson makes the list for the first time along with, Mark Andrews,  Ronnie Stanley, Mark Ingram on the offensive side and Earl Thomas, Brandon Williams on defense.  You might say no big deal since we are playing the Jets maybe some of these guys can sit out and rest.  I say no way! With all that’s on the line this week, let’s wrap this puppy up and then we can rest players.  Do I think we can beat the Jets without some of our starters? No doubt, but we need to make sure to send a statement to the rest of the league that the Ravens are who we know we are.  The best team in the NFL!

GO RAVENS!!!

Thursday Night

RAVENS over Jets
We can’t look past this Jets team -they have been playing better the last few weeks.  The Ravens need to dominate this game against a weaker opponent.  I want this to be a game where Lamar is sitting out the fourth quarter and the defense is scoring points.  So much can happen tonight, Lamar can break Micheal Vick’s  quarterback single season rushing record and we can clinch the division.  The weather forecast is for the temperature to be in the twenties and I need a lot of action to keep me warm.

GO RAVENS!!!
