Ravens:
Ravens could open the season with as many as 4 starts on defense: Arthur Brown (LB), Matt Elam (S), Kyle Juszczyk (FB), and Brandon Williams (DT). Odds and predictions for the Ravens outlook are very confusing right now, but the consensus is that we are the 3rd best team in the AFC (with Denver and Houston ranked above us, respectively), and are given the pre-season edge to win the division. All eyes are on how the Ravens revamped defense will defend the Super Bowl Title. However, in my opinion, not enough attention has been paid to the loss of key WR Anquan Boldin, and how we will fill that void left by such a critical hands receiver. Note: Vonte Leach is still available and willing to be resigned by the Ravens.
Orioles:
At the break, the O’s were 2 game ahead of last years pace, and things are looking up. Two straight wins against the Rangers have pushed the O’s 12 games above .500 for the first time this season, and a half game ahead of the Rangers for the final Wild Card spot.
