NFL Week 3 Odds Ravens vs Patriots Prediction, Picks

The Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots are set to meet up in week three of the NFL season. Both teams have a 1-1 record coming into the game, showing a similar loss to the Miami Dolphins. It is a long season, but the Ravens and the Patriots would love to get a win to add to their resume this season.

Baltimore had a convincing win in week one over the New York Jets. It did not come without trouble, though, as the Ravens defense, once again, suffered injuries. It looked as if Baltimore was headed for a second convincing win, but a great comeback by Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins ended that idea for Baltimore.

New England is off to a rough start this season with serious concerns going forward. After being blown out of the water in week one against Miami, the Patriots struggles continued in week two against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Patriots have their hands full this season in the AFC East Division. It’s time to see how both teams arrive to this Ravens vs Patriots matchup so you can bet against their NFL Betting Lines.

Baltimore Ravens Notes

The Baltimore Ravens have to be upset after they let a win slip away in week two but they are in a good spot in terms of their division. History is on the side of Baltimore and its current position in the standings. It was a rough week for the AFC North but the future is bright for the purple and black.

Since the 1970 merger to the NFL, only 9.5% of teams that started 0-2 have made the NFL Playoffs. After two weeks, the Cincinnati Bengals have suffered two losses after some poor play. This allows the Baltimore Ravens to be front runners in the division due to the inconsistencies in the other teams.

Lamar Jackson had the pressure on during the offseason to get a contract extension done with the Ravens. In the final year of his rookie contract, Jackson did not reach an agreement and will not discuss it with the front office until after the season. Through two weeks of the season, Jackson looks like he could be having another MVP-caliber season.

New England Patriots Notes

After a disappointing season in 2021-22, things do not seem to be getting much better for the New England Patriots in the 2022-23 season. It is year two of the Mac Jones era in New England, and the offense is off to a slow start. Jones had very difficult shoes to fill after the incredible years of Tom Brady, but when looking at the coaching staff for the Patriots, it is not surprising to see why they are struggling.

After failing as head coaches, Joe Judge and Matt Patricia have landed back in New England and work together on the offense and the play calling. Patricia struggled to lead the Detroit Lions, and Judge had a disaster of a tenure in New York with the Giants.

The struggles of the Patriots have led to questions about the relationship between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. Would Belichick have been successful without Brady all those years? The future will tell a lot with the rise of the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins.
