Baltimore Ravens vs Seattle Seahawks Prediction: Bet on the home team here

On Sunday, NFL action will take place at M&T Bank Stadium, featuring a matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the Baltimore Ravens. The Seattle Seahawks' record now stands at 5-2 after their most recent game, which was a victory over the Cleveland Browns by a score of four points. The Baltimore Ravens are currently sitting at a record of 6-2 on the season. The Baltimore Ravens were victorious on the road against the Arizona Cardinals last weekend. 

On offense, the Baltimore Ravens have been quite steady this season, even if they haven't been particularly dominant. The Baltimore Ravens have scored 23 total touchdowns through eight games, which is one more than most teams have, and 14 of those touchdowns have come on the ground. However, the Baltimore Ravens are allowing only 4.6 yards per pass play, which is a significant factor in the team's ability to limit the effectiveness of offensive attacks by other teams. In their game from the previous weekend, the Baltimore Ravens faced off against the Arizona Cardinals. In a game that they won 31-24, the Baltimore Ravens scored points in each quarter but allowed the other team to score 17 in the fourth. Gus Edwards ran for 80 yards and scored three touchdowns, while Lamar Jackson threw for 157 yards and scored one touchdown through the air. Gus Edwards handled the majority of the work. Mark Andrews contributed four receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown to the team's total.

The Seattle Seahawks have had a few games so far this season in which they scored a lot of points, but on the whole, they are winning games by employing strategies that are rather well-rounded. With a total of 18 touchdowns, including seven scored on the ground and nine through the air, Seattle is in the middle of the pack when it comes to scoring in the National Football League. The Seattle Seahawks have allowed 15 points to be scored against them on the other side of the ball, with a nearly even split between runs and passes. The most recent victory for the Seattle Seahawks came on Sunday, when they defeated the Cleveland Browns 24-20. In their victory over the underdog, Seattle kept quiet until the fourth quarter, despite scoring 17 points in the first quarter. In the end, quarterback Geno Smith threw for 254 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. Kenneth Walker contributed 66 yards on the ground, and Tyler Lockett led the receivers by catching eight passes for 81 yards and a touchdown.

I think the Baltimore Ravens have a high chance here at home. On the other side, if both teams turn in strong performances, we should be in for a tremendous matchup. In order to have a realistic shot at winning, the Baltimore Ravens will need to reach the 20-point threshold during the course of the game. Only twice so far, in losses to the Indianapolis Colts in overtime and to the Pittsburgh Steelers, have the Baltimore Ravens scored fewer than 20 points in a game. Both of those defeats came in extra time. The Baltimore Ravens are currently enjoying a successful run as they have won their last two games, scoring a total of 69 points in those contests combined. On the other side, the defense of the Seattle Seahawks has been playing well as of late; in each of the last four games, they have allowed 20 points or fewer to their opponents. This match could go any number of different ways, but the final score will most likely be on the lower side. In what should be an exciting game, I favor the Baltimore Ravens to cover the spread while playing at home.
