- The Broncos improved to 5-3, following a 28-14 win over the rebuilding Panthers.
- Baltimore took a tough loss to the Browns on Sunday, losing by a score of 29-24.
- These two teams last met on December 4, 2022, in a game that the Ravens won 10-9.
Denver and Baltimore face off in a key Week 9 NFL clash. Our Broncos vs Ravens prediction involves Baltimore squeaking past with a close win at home. Denver’s capable defense will help them to cover the 9-point spread.
Broncos Finding Surprise Success
After opening the season 0-2, the Broncos have now won five of their last six games. Rookie QB Bo Nix had the best game of his young NFL career against the struggling Panthers’ defense. He completed 28 of 37 pass attempts, racking up 284 yards and 3 touchdowns in the process. Nix has made major strides since his brutal first start, but still needs to prove his ability against more capable defenses. Baltimore will provide that test.
Ravens Remain AFC Contenders
Baltimore’s loss to the Browns on Sunday snapped a 5-game winning streak. The Ravens had done an excellent job of getting their season back on track after an 0-2 start. Now at 5-3, they still have work to do before they can feel comfortable about the standings. Baltimore currently sits one game behind Pittsburgh in the division standings and would get the 6-seed if the season ended today. They’ll aim to regain their momentum this week.
Broncos vs Ravens Prediction: Ravens Rely on Home Crowd
Look for the Ravens to bounce back in this game after a disappointing result in Cleveland. They are 2-1 at home on the season and hold a key advantage over the Broncos in this game. That being said, Denver has been playing really well and cannot be written off. The Broncos have a stronger defense than Baltimore, which will allow them to keep this game low-scoring and relatively close. I see them covering the spread in a 23-17 loss.
