I posted the metric where Denver's OL is allowing pressure similar to 2017 and Keesum isn't handling it well. Their RT might be out with a concussion..
Jackson will be interesting to watch in this game..
Ravens by 4..

Depends on whether or not they decide to focus on Lindsay/Freeman early and often... I trust Musgrave, but I think he could be more creative.
Hopefully, after two games they are not afraid to say that Lindsay is a bit of a spark for that offense and he really has an ability to make things happen. No, he's not an every down back right now and they should definitely split time, but he has an energy that the others lack.
Lindsay and Sanders are the spark plugs... get those two going early, get the TEs involved... and that opens up Sanders/Thomas/Sutton. Denver ran 32 times in game 1, 28 times in game 2... they've had decent balance there. I think they have a much better idea now of what they have with those guys and it's time to really lean on them and turn them loose.
They may very well still lose... but, I like their chances to win because as we both agree, these are two teams that few care about or expect much from right now.
Both teams need this win badly. Denver really needs this win because they're coming home to face a most likely 3-0 Chiefs team in 2 weeks.
