Baltimore Ravens – Washington Commanders: Initial situation
Lamar Jackson has been one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL this decade and has won multiple individual awards but the Ravens are yet to go all the way and win the Super Bowl. Jayden Daniel has taken the same road as he is stealing the show in his rookie season in Washington. The Commanders look way better with fresh blood on the team and this game may be the what they need to definitely establish themselves as a winning team.
Baltimore Ravens Stats & Form
After losing in the Conference Championship game last season, the Baltimore Ravens came into this season hungrier than ever. With Lamar Jackson being one of the best quarterbacks in the game, the Ravens looked scary, but after a couple of weeks, things did not look good. Losing the first pair of games on the schedule marked their worst start in recent history. However, the Ravens woke up and responded under pressure winning the next three games and now are on the top of the AFC North with a 3-2 record. Last week, they won 41-38 in overtime on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals. After Derrick Henry rumbled for 51 yards to put the Ravens at the Bengals six-yard line, Justin Tucker kicked a 24-yard field goal to seal the deal for Baltimore. Jackson was 26 for 42 for 348 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for another 55 yards.
Washington Commanders Stats & Form
If there is one team in the NFL that is exceeding the expectations so far in the season, that is definitely the Washington Commanders. They are coming off winning only four games last season, and they have already matched that after only five weeks in this one, which puts them on top of the NFC East with a 4-1 record. This is the first time since 2008 for them to sit with four wins after five weeks. The main reason for that is the second pick of the 2024 NFL Draft Jayden Daniels. After the opening day loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the 23-year-old out of LSU, has led the Commanders to four consecutive wins. Last week, they demolished the Cleveland Browns by 34-13. Daniels was 14 of 25 for 328 yards passing and with 82 rushing yards.

Betting tip and prediction: Baltimore Ravens – Washington Commanders (13.10.2024)
The cross-state rivals are meeting for the first time in four years, and it seems like this matchup could not come in a better moment. The Washington Commanders have won four games in the first five weeks for the first time since 2008. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is taking over the league and has become the first player in NFL history with more than 1,000 yards passing and 250 yards rushing in his first five career games. It will be interesting to see the young man from LSU going against one of the best, Lamar Jackson. Both the two-time MVP winner and the second pick of the last NFL Draft are former Heisman Trophy winners, and this game can go from a must-watch to epic. Still, no matter how good the Commanders are at the moment, the Ravens have been on top level for years now. They have the best rushing offense in the entire NFL, averaging 211.2 yards per game. That will be the key in this match, as the Commanders are 22nd against the run, allowing 130 yards per game, and 13th against the pass, allowing 198 yards per pass. This is a game in which Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken can take on the main stage, so we go with the Ravens covering the -6.5-point spread.
